Sara Hussein Wrote About How Gardening Helped Her Writing Process

For her Substack newsletter, The Writer’s Room, Sara Hussein wrote about how gardening helped her writing process. In the essay, she writes about how a visit to Azahara, Spain helped inspire her. 

She writes, “I didn’t go to Azahara to find clarity about my writing, but I found it anyway in the quiet rhythm of tending to something outside of myself. I left with no grand epiphany, just a deeper trust in the process. Writing, like gardening, is a slow and sacred labor. And sometimes, simply showing up is enough.”
