Hello creators, would anyone like to share a little anecdote with me for something I'm writing? I would love to hear your story of a time when doing something the hard way was advantageous. 1/4

Best thing on this trip to Sydney is discovering the new extension to the @sydneymetro project. And blow me down the first of the artworks that I see at one of the stations is my old bookselling buddy @callummorte’s wonderful “The Underneath”

I'm writing today about kennings in Old English. Essentially these are two word-metaphors that were used instead of concrete nouns, and they are exquisite. A ship was a 'wave-horse', the sea was a 'whale-road', the mind was a 'thought-chamber', and the sun was a 'sky-candle'.

I commission film writing for i-D and I like people with interesting, thoughtful and left field ideas. If something’s been on your mind – films new or old – and you think the i-D audience would be interested in it, let me know.
