The Write Off - 'Fuck me, I love Keats'.
play

10/18/22 • 19 min

'Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness....' and all that.
Keats wrote autumn well, and so did many writers who put ink to quill before him and digits to keyboards after. But what effect did the seasons have on those writers - and do the seasons have an impact on us? Does the time of year affect our ability to put pen to paper? And when we are productive, does the tone of our writing change according to the season that we're in?
We're glad to be back for series 3, episode 1! We hope you enjoy. Good luck with your writing xx
