Everyone needs sabbath so enjoy it and rest. Only ever write if you have something to say, never just to fill a space. There are far too many unnecessary words around at present!

Well done for recognising you need to create a bit of space in your life in any way you can. x

Hi Grace,

Firstly I didn’t spot any incoherence so there’s nothing to apologise for :) Creativity isn’t something that can be forced so please take all the time you need. In my life I’ve finally accepted that winter & a bit of downtime is essential for everything I love about the long days of spring and summer. So nourish yourself and enjoy the space. We’ll all be here when you return. Take care X

It takes strength, wisdom and courage to recognise when you need to step back (and take care of you). I look forward to reading your newsletter when you're ready to write again. X

From my zone of infant-induced not sleeping to yours — rest where you can! I look forward to reading your writing whenever you’re back

Your writing is beautiful and never incoherent! Step away bravely, I know you'll be back when it's right...
