Gutted I can’t make this one. I’ll definitely be there next time. In my absence I thought I’d mention a book I’ve recently read that made me think about desire in relationships - how the initial romantic and passionate desires morph into expectations; how desire for personal growth can cause problems, especially when our partner sees us a particular way and believes we are a certain kind of person. All such interesting topics!
The book is called Foe by Iain Reid and it is a brilliant and philosophical take on wants and desires in a long term relationship. Read it!
Ooh that sounds brilliant, I am going to look that up now. There was also another book I remember you reading, a non-fiction collection, was it Wanting? Sorry you can’t join us this month but looking forward to seeing you in March xx
Oh the sex participating bit 🙈🙈😆 so funny... and thanks for the compliment about my voice, not something I hear very often!! I hope you’ll be able to join us tomorrow x
I LOVE this video, and am so glad to see and hear you before tomorrow evening's session. I am writing a novel at the moment with desire in many forms at its core, so tomorrow night's workshop is going to be fascinating for me. It's my first foray into fiction and I'll tell you, I've been drawn to the writing of a number of stand-alone scenes that explore female sexual pleasure. Can't wait for it!
love the video idea! and perfect writing theme for february. I'd love to join in the future. also camera shy, but really want to develop a writing practice on substack.

Oh yes! ‘What Women want: Conversations on desire, power, love and growth’ A brilliant non fiction book by Maxine Mei-Fung Chung.
Ah that was it! I’m already reading Foe by the way!
Had a chuckle at the ‘sex participating’ part...must now go subscribe! What a beautiful voice you have x

Wow I relate to this video so deeply (“I hope I don’t look awkward!”) but really enjoyed hearing your voice and seeing your face in this piece!

Oh don’t worry about being camera shy,Anna. Lots of people just sit and listen with their cameras off. Hope to see you there some day!
