Go Play Project – Day 4
I didn’t think that this Go Play Project would turn into an homage to Ann Patchett, but here we are again. The background image for this collage is the Amazon, the setting for State of Wonder, one of my favorite books of hers.
If you haven’t read it, do. It’s a modern retelling of Heart of Darkness (but don’t let that put you off). It’s got it all: science, medicine, wilderness exploration, secrets and difficult choices.
The characters are beautifully crafted and the writing is sublime:
Never be so focused on what you’re looking for that you overlook the thing you actually find.
— Ann Patchett
For those who found me through Facebook, hello! If another social media platform is more your speed, I’ve also got a Pinterest board, and I’m on Instagram. Thanks for following me along on my adventure. I’d love to hear from any of you who have started your own creativity challenge.
