Vilhelm Hammershoi (1864-1916)
There was once a woman who wrote on small pieces of paper. She played with words and made them line up obediently and it was all she needed to be happy. The writing was essential to her for some reasons that she could articulate and other reasons she could not. After a while she started a blog and now there were people who read but still she wrote for herself.
And then on a wet February day an email arrived from the lovely Liz Ann Bennett, editor of a magazine she admired very much, asking her to write a piece for them. And she did!
(In the bit-in-between she rushed around saying "I've been asked to write for a magazine!!! And her friends said "Wow!!!")
Now you can go into any good newsagent
and buy issue 10 of oh comely
and admire the photos and illustrations and writing
and see if you can spot MrsM
because she's in there too.
How cool is that!
