👋 Hello, I'm Emma. I write non-fiction, mostly about personal development, sometimes about productivity, creativity and culture.
I'm joining writing.exchange after bouncing round a couple of instances over a couple of years. Having dipped into the local timeline I feel like here is a place I can settle.
Human beings are like jazz musicians; always improvising.
Fortuitous to be in the car with 6Music on the radio yesterday to catch Herbie Hancock on The First Time with Matt Everitt https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00188pk

@davesmyth hey Dave, just responding to your call to say hello. I've dipped in and out of mastodon for a few years and come back to it more consistently recently. Finding the right instance for me has definitely helped with that. I'm also noticing that as I spend more time here I'm far less active on the bird site

Finished reading: The Locals by Jonathan Dee 📚
Found this massively underwhelming, if not irritating. Dee seemed to start lots of plot lines and then just let them trail off. About two thirds through I asked my wife if anything happened before the end, she said yes… it did not. https://micro.blog/books/9781472151940

Finished reading: A Thousand Moons by Sebastian Barry 📚
Another gem. I don’t know any other author who weaves poetry into the narrative like Barry does. https://micro.blog/books/9780571333400
