Reason to create #787

I'm grateful to our artists. David Mitchell and his writing carried me through 7 days of virus-infested misery and as soon as I feel a little better, I'm going to do my bit to fight back the jaw-snapping wolves and the blizzards that whistle through the cracks.
"One writes music because winter is eternal and because if one didn't, the wolves and blizzards would be at one's throat all the sooner."
- David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas

  1. I've read Cloud Atlas. The writing in it is just dazzling. Hope you see off your virus soon and have at those wolves and blizzards.

  2. I'm really pleased that you loved the book as much as I did. David Mitchell is an extraordinary writer. Reasons to create are like reasons to homeschool for me; a new one seems to pop up every day. There's a fair bit of crossover too now that I mention it!
