Dear fellow writer,
Welcome back to Swordcraft, my series of short, sharp videos for paid subscribers who want to grow their writing practice and hone their wordcraft, one swordsnip at a time.
Today’s video uses the metaphor of chiaroscuro — the dramatic effect achieved on a painted canvas by contrasting areas of light and dark — to explore the pleasures of dancing into the shadows and facing head-on your greatest challenges as a writer. It’s the penultimate episode in my six-part Swordcraft sequence on Notebooking with Pleasure, in which I’ve been introducing you to a different core feature of pleasurable writing each week (patterns, tools, processes, identity, challenge, and balance) and guiding you through associated notebooking prompts. Enjoy!
Kia pai tō koutou rā (have a great day) — and keep on writing!
Helen
