Teaching a writing workshop tonight for @creativefutureuk.bsky.social on Character. I love this quote from Woolf’s essay Mr Bennett and Mrs Brown: ‘we go down into them as we descend into some enormous cavern. Lights swing about; we hear the boom of the sea; it is all dark, terrible and uncharted.’
