Love this! I have a five things essay from a couple years ago that was really a lovely experience to write. I need to go back to it, see what's there.

Don’t you just love the layers of these writing prompts? How things emerge? This is lovely.

And Wildcat!! I can’t wait to watch it but we are so remote, I don’t know when/if it’ll come to our parts. Off to check the cinema…

Yes, I love how all the things that were dancing through my mind came together.

I streamed it. (We don't have a movie theater.)

Where did you stream it from?? Tim read Jonathan Roger's bio of Flannery after meeting him at the CS Lewis Writers Conference. Then I got him to read some of her short stories, so he's all primed. Sounds like we need a date night at home to watch Wildcat!

Just rented it from Amazon.

Reading those short stories is key because five of them kind of invade the film in short scenes. It's really well done, with Maya Hawke and Laura Linney then getting to play lots of characters besides Flannery and her mother.
