Writing with Water is the one and only home of author Thomas Halvë. It’s warmer than a park bench.
The blog was begun in mid-April 2012. Thomas will try to publish at least one piece of writing a week on this blog with the aim of then getting them published elsewhere.It’s then just a short hop to a Booker Prize.
Thomas wrote all the words and took all the pictures that appear on this site. If you want to use any of them then just ask.

An interesting concept ‘writing with water’ – will look forward to your blog 🙂
Thanks for your comment Polly. I lived in China for a number of years and it’s from there – retired old men practise calligraphy on the pavement with goat-hair brushes and a pot of water. The writing dries under the sun, a few passers-by see it and then it evaporates into the air, disappearing for ever. Always thought it was a beautiful thing
Wow, Thomas, thank you for telling me about the old men in China, what a great way to practice an art, it is as you say a beautiful thing – says something about the transient nature of our work perhaps …
of our work and of everything else I would say. There’s videos of it here if you are interested : http://bit.ly/HUkuod
