This humble octagonal table, well-loved and well-worn, was Jane Austen’s writing table. Visiting her former home in Chawton on a lovely day trip into rural Hampshire, it was wonderful to linger beside it and imagine what took shape on its surface, the intricate plotting and sparkling wit, as well as the struggle and painstaking editing that is part of any author's lot. I couldn't help but wonder too about the aches in her back and neck which Jane must surely have felt when she rose after long periods lost in her work. The most lasting impression it left, though, was of the sheer sorcery of the act of writing. There can be few other ways in which so much joy can be created from almost nothing. Perhaps no-one can hope to emulate Jane’s talent but what a wonderful thing it is that so many can and do try. . . . . #amwriting #amwritingfiction #authorsofinsta #authorslife #authorsofig #indieauthors #writerofinstagram #romanceauthor #romancewriter #writersworld #writersonig #writersoninstagram #writerslife #writersfollowwriters #writerscommunity #writersinspiration #authorsofinstagram #authorlife #janeausten #chawton #janeaustenhouse #austen #regencyromance #regency #romancebooks #romancereaders #romancereader #romancenovel #romancebook #vintageromance

Sundown at the end of a lovely summer evening by the Thames, cows and their calves continuing to graze into the growing dusk. The long days afford us the luxury of being able to set out on a walk when at other times of the year we might just be closing curtains and looking doors, and how often there is something beautiful to be seen nearby, wherever we are. Along the river, ducks lead ducklings into the reeds, swans settle on their nests, whilst herons fish on into the twilight. Meanwhile, for us, moving quietly through the cool air and fading light slows down our busy minds and readies us for rest. . . . . #amwriting #amwritingfiction #authorsofinsta #authorslife #authorsofig #indieauthors #writerofinstagram #romanceauthor #romancereader #romancewriter #writersworld #writersonig #writersoninstagram #writerslife #authorsofinstagram #authorlife #discoverengland #unlimitedengland #thisprettyengland #englishsummer #beautifulengland #photosofengland #visitengland #exploreengland #loveengland #englandlife #sunset_united #sunset_hunter #sunsetphoto #sunsetgram

A bench that just begs to be sat on, and with a view like this, who could resist? On a blazing day in North Devon, walking along the coast from Baggy Point to Saunton Sands, to one side the land was all dry gorse, bristling with the hum of insects, and on the other, the waves were whispering, drawing the eye only to dazzle. Halfway, on the headland, below an old coastguard’s lookout slipping slowly towards the sea, this bench sat looking out into the blueness, inviting us to do the same. . . . . #amwriting #amwritingfiction #amwritingromance #authorsofinsta #authorslife #authorsofig #indieauthors #writerofinstagram #romanceauthor #romance #loveromance #romancewriter #writersworld #writersonig #writersoninstagram #writerslife #authorsofinstagram #authorlife #visitdevon #northdevon #lovenorthdevon #northdevoncoast #englishcoast #coastalwalk #coastalwalks #benchesofinstagram #seaviewcollection #benchwithaview #seaviews
