Recently, I learned some things about my writing energy which seemed to have reached an all time low.
They surprised me. So I thought that some other writers might find my experience helpful. Or at least interesting,
As many readers know, I sometimes go off into the countryside as a Birdwatcher’s Companion. He’s a great chap to walk the hills with, knowledgeable and generous when I ask about plants and wildlife
But he’s also happy for me to go off into my own little fantasy world, if that’s where the mood takes me.
I really love going into sometimes quite 
remote and even lonely places. For there is always the Back-Up Person with the Binoculars, on hand in case I fall down a rabbit hole.
No matter how tired I am when we start, it seems that I always come back with my writing energy renewed and a spring in my step.
