behind the scenes
R D Hilsdon
R D Hilsdon grew up near the sea and learnt to swim in a Cornish rock pool. She now lives in the Norfolk countryside where she writes about connections, friendship, and the ways change and loss transform us.
Becoming words
This is how I feel when I write. Everything around me fades away. I fade away. Time becomes meaningless. I forget to eat. I'm unaware I've grown cold.
The only things that exist are the words flying around my mind. I have become words.
If I'm patient, the words will settle and arrange themselves. Then the words become something else...a new world to explore, a new person to meet, an emotion.
A way to travel somewhere else.
R D Hilsdon

On my bookshelf
A small selection of some of my favourite books.
Just so you know, there are paid links below. While I'll only highlight books I've enjoyed, I may benefit financially from any purchases you make and a matching amount will go to independent bookshops. Don't worry, you won't pay any extra.
