ALT A close-up of a small open notebook showing handwritten text. The writing is messy, with errors crossed out using a fineliner pen with black ink. The text is a haiku which reads ‘chapter near ending, but hesitation tangles like broken branches. Stop. Start. Pause. Rewrite? The point of view side shifting –new flowers to bloom? It hovers, held up between logic and instinct – let this seed flourish!’ Where the notebook opens there is a thin black pen. To the right there is a blue postcard with an arty image showing blocks and vertical lines in subtle blue tones. On top in one corner is a small box reading ‘metal compass’, and below is an ornate magnifying glass with beautiful pewter embellishment. Everything is on a pink background.
