Where drawing meets writing

Where drawing meets writing …. ‘Sometimes you come to a thing you can’t write. You’ve written everything you can think of, to stop the story getting here. You know that, technically, your prose isn’t up to it. You say then, very well: at least I know my limitations …’ [Hilary Mantel, Giving up the Ghost] … when I hit this point, I often turn to drawing to access a different space behind the ink and the marks. It’s fascinating.
