This post covers so many things that I think about because my research covers place and writing. But I haven't thought to put myself into a character while out for a walk so I'm going to try that! Thanks, Sarah!

Very inspiring, and I loved the quotes from Dickens. I will channel this into my own writing about my urban wanderings in my newsletter The Ambient City.

nice article - inspires me to consciously walk to write/compose; rather than 'niggle' over technicalities of existing work
