writing advice will not make you a better writer
writing advice will not make you a better writer
all that will make you a better writer is writing
i’m not saying it doesn’t help point you in the right direction and open your eyes to things to watch out for, but if you want to improve your writing, write. please.

Visited Polesden Lacey today for my 21st birthday and not only dawdled away half an hour in their library but found three books in their second hand bookshop. A wonderful birthday all round!

Spent the morning doing research for my dissertation and planning my second chapter in earnest ☕️
Ordering books from the British Library will never get boring, seeing as my friend and I are going tomorrow I had to request the books I wanted to use and it gives me thrills every time! My lecturer made us order them to Humanities 2 as that’s where she will be and she wants to appreciate her influence by seeing us there.
(Featuring the new tea set I got for Christmas!)
