Welcome to Writing Home, a series of letters and essays from me, Dougald Hine, author of At Work in the Ruins, co-founder of the Dark Mountain Project and a school called HOME. A special welcome to those of you who found their way here in recent days thanks to Warren Ellis’s newsletter or the roundtable I took part in with Nate Hagens.
