By now, everyone on Instagram is aware of my reasons for being here: to show my LOVE for Isles of Scilly, Cornwall, London, and to look, listen and gather information and inspiration from all you lovely, brilliant creative folks out there. And you know who you are! Hope you enjoy today's post ... * I'm feeling rather poorly today and yesterday (etc), exhausted by my efforts in an environment where there's little support, community, economic rewards, or friends. I don't know how I managed to get myself in such an unpleasant spot ... But my constant writing, and more lately bicycling to the train station to avoid having to take the buses (dubbed 'Hog-Lard Express' due to their filth, shambolic condition and, stench) has somewhat taken a toll! 😵 * Everyone in England, no doubt, is much more interested in what's going on at No 10 today, and I cannot imagine a more divisive moment in politics either side of the pond. With efforts here to roll back abortion, environmental protection, and the general uncertainty and chaos in our beloved England, the feeling of well-being is not a given! (Unless of course, you're young and in love! 😍) Good luck to all us other folks ... But how I do digress! * I can assure you this period of pressure has created some incredible writing, but if you can, say a prayer--that something amazing happens soon to deliver me from out of this nuthouse ... Or that the necessary energy to push through to success arrives, and carries me out the door into a new life ... Calling Doctor Who? 😂🚀 * This photo is treated with a tad of #prisma to bring some magic to the ocean which was rather flat ... 🎨 * 'A great gulf yawns now between me and my retinue, between craziness and reason. Scavenging through the glen on my mad King's visit: no pomp or poets circuit but wild scuttles in the wood.' ~ Seamus Heaney * #islesofscilly @islesofscilly #stmarys #england 🇬🇧 #writersofinstagram #amwriting #borrowedlight #anovelinstories #womensfiction #womenwriters #adventuresinparadise #LondonFilm #Hackgate #RomanticComedies #ScreenwritersofInstagram #seamusheaney #poetry
It seems like an age since I've posted so I thought I'd post a few pics--some new edits and others I've never posted. Hope you enjoy ... * The first edit shows some kids hanging out at Pelistry Bay, seen from a different perspective in the next shot ... My best edit of Pelistry Bay to date ... And (3) is my coming upon this staggeringly beautiful place. An 'artistic' double exposure combining shots 3 & 5 while I imagine living as a part of this enchanted place ... And my shadow upon the rocks. A shutterbug compulsion came over me in Scilly as I had never seen any place so beautiful in my life. * At any rate, I've been writing every day (except this weekend), and when I'm not writing, I'm messing about with Swans. The little ones are still around, and I hope that by having so few Cygnets, Sylvie will be attentive, and they may live to fly off and find their own mates. For those of you who are still with me, the locals painted half the females eggs to limit her brood, and 2 died within days of hatching, so there are 2 instead of 8 Cygnets this year. They're chopping down live trees left and right, while dead trees are left to rot. One massive tree close to the nest fell recently, and brought the bank of the pond with it! Very odd ...(Think the Ents are displeased?) * The novel is coming along well, though it's agonizing enough living here to more likely produce a jeremiad of 600 pages, not a funnily touching novel of some 257! 😂 But if I can sell it on the basis of the finished chapters, the sketchy final chapter may pass until I can leave the state to rejoin humanity in Charleston (fingers crossed) and finish it. And then of course you all know how much I dream of living at least part-time in England. And so work, work, work with not so much time here with you as I'd like. Please don't think I don't miss you all because I do seriously and deeply feel the loss of your company. But I must forge on! ☀😘✍💐🙂 * 'Where can it be found again, An elsewhere world, beyond Maps and Atlases, Where all is woven into, And of itself like a nest Of crosshatched grass blades?' - Seamus Heaney #WritersofInstagram #amwriting @islesofscilly #StMarys #BorrowedLight #anovelinstories
Cornwall, Tresco & St Mary's ... Isles of Scilly ... And this just about covers what I'd like to call my little corner of the world one day, expanding out into all of England (especially London), and the United Kingdom. You have no idea how much I miss it ALL. These smeary, wet edits are designed to enrich poor pixels, rotten focus, and the erratic moods of a camera I never really got to know. I do hope you enjoy these scenes on a Bank holiday that I understand was not a tropical paradise for you English unless you were off to Spain, Italy, or Portugal as I see some of you indeed were ... Lucky you! I've not been anywhere but into @MIT to write or off to the pond to visit the Swans or into the kitchen to make another G&T with weeks of almost nothing but rain ... 😬 In a word, ICK! 🔆 So all I do is write, write, write, and then add some more editing and writing, rereading, reshuffling, and then start all over again ... And if this work doesn't get me an agent soon, I shall book a flight to Scilly and climb into that Neolithic tomb in the third photo! So there! A poem I didn't write upcoming ... Love you and thank you for your friendships, for all you bring into my life from your wondrous travels and beautiful lives, to your exquisite photography. Superb people of Instagram, you feed my soul ... 🔆 'My heart of silk is filled with lost lights, with bells, with lilies and bees. And I will go very far, farther than those hills, farther than the seas, close to the stars to ask Christ the Lord to give back the Soul I had of old, when I was a child, ripened with legends, with a feathered cap and a wooden sword.' Federico Garcia Lorca 🔆 #WritersofInstagram #amwriting #poetry #lorca #legends #silkysouls #borrowedlight #anovelinstories #adventuresinparadise #islesofscilly #SWisBest @islesofscilly #mytresco #lovecornwall #greatbritain #bankholidaythoughts #lost
My beloved British Isles ... A mixed bag I hope you enjoy! 😘😊🇬🇧☀ * Outside of trying to create an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) around the Swan Nest by picking up garbage, building an invincible hedge, and planting morning glories and wild flowers to grow up and intertwine with said work of art-swan-hedge, I am always and forever writing to escape this impossibly polluted dung-hole, ASAP! 😊😅🤔☀✍ * My novel 'Borrowed Light' has transformed into an interesting project ... I now envision it, after publication, as a limited miniseries in the style of Robert Altman's weird 'Shortcuts' but from a woman's POV and for @showtime or a similar venue ... FYI: As all my chapters focus on Jean, I've decided it would be brilliant to cast each story with a different actor, so that Jean becomes the sum total of all the effects of the actors' performances. And since I was once a struggling actor, this seems inevitable ... I write like a playwright or screenwriter anyway. * For example, in Chapter 8, 'Girl Overboard' Jean returns to Charleston, SC and goes on a night-time fishing trip with her damaged brother, Lenny ... All kinds of issues come up between them in the rickety boat and eventually, Jean ends up in the water ... I see @itsmelauralinney and a Sam Shepard-type playing the two siblings who never got along. The story, inspired by Elizabeth Bishop's poem, 'The Rainbow', actually happened to me, btw. The altercation occurs when Lenny refuses to release an ancient fish that has multiple scars along its mouth from countless catch & releases ... But my writing came alive when I imagined Linney and Shepard as Jean and Lenny ... ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ * This makes editing exciting, as I've edited all 11 story-chapters for a series of one & a half hour films--not to mention a novel many women will adore. The focus: Women and Family, Women and Education, Women and Men, Women in Careers, and Women putting their lives on the line. And I know you all know what I mean. * #WritersofInstagram #amwriting #borrowedlight #anovelinstories @islesofscilly #britishisles #screenwritersofinstagram #thefishpoem #elizabethbishop https://m.poets.org/poetsorg/poem/fish-2 #samshepard #LondonHackgate
Three moods today all from walks around St Mary's, Isles of Scilly. Think that's cloud-Cecil up in the sky? Hey, I'd rather be caught between that particular devil and the deep blue sea there than anyplace else on Earth ... * Not much to report except I'm writing, of course, swan-fence building, and trying to keep my health in tact whilst suffering depression from living in a swan-slaughter-house and third world dump ... Example: Idiots have been setting 🔥on the MBTA tracks delaying trains and increasing everyone's transit by several hours last and this week ... Reasons why are totally opaque to me. * The good news is my London Hackgate screenplay is, I feel, a masterpiece, and if everyone doesn't agree it's the most brilliant thing you've seen and heard in 50 years, I'll treat you to G&Ts at Claridges. Well, I'd be there drowning my sorrows anyway if you don't love it, so you can drop in and keep me company! 🤗🍸 * Borrowed Light is mostly finished! All the chapters are written except for the final one or the 11th ... However, since it requires such a champagne-corker of a mood, I'm finding it very difficult to bring the necessary joie de vivre to the effort ... Solution: Write 1 page a day on 11 and fine-tune the rest until satisfied ... And if you don't absolutely love it, I'll turn it into a smash film hit starring Amy Adams and Sam Claflin and make bundles of dosh! 😚 P.S. My NEW novel idea is making me very excited but I can't talk about it until I've made a sale on one or another of my other projects. Speaking to this, if anyone wants to send an agent or producer my way, a room in Scilly will be yours forever ... Property scouting online recently and guess what? I found the most DIVINE place with ocean views and more than an acre on St Martins ... Newly motivated?! Hello, yes! ☀💫☀💫 * Adventures in Paradise ✅✅✅ Borrowed Light ⚡✍⚡ New Novel ❕❕❕ Swan fence - Updated photo in stories soon ... 🌿💚💪💫💚 * P.S. THANK YOU and love you all ... Catching up with your posts this weekend! 😘 * #WritersofInstagram #amwriting #AdventuresinParadise #London #BorrowedLight #IslesofScilly #ANovelinStories #Swan_Lovers #ScreenwritersofInstagram 🎬
My apologies for not spending more time with you on Instagram while trying to complete my book ... or when I do drooling all over your pages and lives like an unruly puppy with excitement or empathy or just pure joy ... Today it was @charlottebezzant 's jewellery, back garden swans, and her newly adopted orchard she's now renovating ... All more admirable than I can express. Then someone I greatly admire lost a pet and I couldn't get her out of my mind, and so a book sprang from my feelings about it, one I am thoroughly excited about, as it is planned as an England-based Detective novel, humourous, funny, loveable. Meanwhile, I'm watching @dumbwittellher from afar, admiring and loving her resilience and courage and wishing I'd been half so lucky as her in choosing such a husband. So you see, I've been away and yet I am still here, just not as widely spread as I was in 2018. * What people feel when they're living full lives is what I feel thinking about Cornwall-Scilly or what I feel when I think about some writing I've just finished that might not be too bad. Stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea? In England that can't be too bad, right? So forging on, I continue editing my novel, which is not going too badly ...considering! * The second photo here is of the fence I built Sunday (it's about half-done) to protect the swans from the locals who cut down the enormously beautiful tree whose branches once stretched across the pond protecting it from mischief, murder, and mayhem (unleashed dogs and sociopaths with baseball bats.) Project ongoing ... Sore as hell from all the hauling, but when those fluffy Cygnets are born in May, I'll feel glad. * 'Who knows now if she knows her own depth and direction? She's passed Malin and Tory, silent, wakeless, a wisp, a wick that is its own taper and light through the weltering dark.' (Seamus Heaney) * Thank you all for your wonderful contributions to my life ... 💐☀💟😘💫✍🌿🕊 * #WritersofInstagram #amwriting @islesofscilly #borrowedlight #anovelinstories #jeanturner #womensfiction #summerread #AdventuresinParadise #screenwritersofinstagram #poetry #SeamusHeaney #swanlovers #detectivefiction #fortheloveofswans
