Hi Iain. I am not a writer, but I want to start writing about the sea. I have been reading a lot about the sea ecosystem, and I frequently practice scuba diving all over the world, so I have gathered notes, observations and photos. Do you think techniques will be useful for me? thanks 😊
It sounds as though you have some great experiences to translate into words. I hope that 'Root and Branch' would help. The first couple of weeks focus on observation and noticing, and it might be that you already have that covered, though I'll also be looking at the importance of simile and figurative writing in expressing the otherwise difficult to describe. The first week will be open to free subscribers, so that should give you a taste of the series.
Drowning in field notes of dubious value. I signed up!
Thank you, Marion.

Thanks Iain! I’ll do as you say, I’ll start and then I’ll decide. I think I’ll enjoy it very much.
This looks like exactly what I need. Now to work out if I can fit it into my already overflowing schedule!
That’s great to know. I hope that people sign up for it.
