Anthony Wilson sent me some questions and I've answered them in this post.  Some of them are to do with me taking part in NaBloPoMo and NaNoPoblano and blogging every day in November.  I've sent some questions to him and you'll be able to read his answers tomorrow at his blog. Can you say why you… Continue reading When Anthony Wilson interviewed me…

If we were having coffee…… #weekendcoffeeshare 26 November 2016

If we were having coffee it would almost definitely be tea and I'd tell you that I feel an urge to tie up loose ends.  What I mean is, I have an itch to finish projects, tidy things up, file papers, make decisions, clear my desk.  Is it because it's almost the end of another… Continue reading If we were having coffee…… #weekendcoffeeshare 26 November 2016

Autumn’s last shout: #WordlessWednesday

 

I rarely meet anyone for coffee

If we were having coffee, I'd tell you that I rarely meet anyone for coffee or lunch or dinner or any kind of beverage or refreshment or meal.  I'd say "Instead of meeting somewhere for coffee, would you like to come round to my house and I will make you a delicious mixture of hot… Continue reading I rarely meet anyone for coffee

Beyond the halfway mark : #NaBloPoMo Day 17

I've never thought of myself as a stubborn type but there must be something mulish about me as I persist in trying to reach  the end of National Blog Posting Month. I am running out of blogging ideas and I am thinking about blogging when I should be doing other stuff.  It's not meant to be like… Continue reading Beyond the halfway mark : #NaBloPoMo Day 17

Tiny: smaller than a pea

This week's photo challenge at WordPress is 'Tiny'. I put a pea in the picture to show you how tiny the smallest doll is.  We have quite a few sets of these Babushka Dolls as my daughter used to collect them. I suppose the picture really should be thumbnail To see everyone else's take on… Continue reading Tiny: smaller than a pea

One week of NaBloPoMo

One week of #NaBloPoMo and one week of #NanoPoblano as well of course!  The first time I've ever done this. So, what's it been like, so far, blogging every day? Fun, actually, but also quite scary.  Fun to think up new ideas, to not overthink - there's no time! - but scary to push the… Continue reading One week of NaBloPoMo

Movember: My husband’s story

On the first day of National Blog Posting Month, #NaBloPoMo and #NanoPoBlano (hello, everyone!), I wasn't expecting to be writing a post about my husband, Andrew Horsfall.  But the first face I saw when I went online this morning was his smiling face on Facebook telling me he was doing Movember again this year.  Before you wonder… Continue reading Movember: My husband’s story

I’m doing NaNoPoblano 2016

Just when I've been thinking I am wasting too much time here, does anyone care about this? is anyone reading me? what the heck is the point of this? I should be doing something else, I should be off the internet, I have poems to write! I have workshops to plan! I have poems to… Continue reading I’m doing NaNoPoblano 2016

Do you blog from your phone?

I learned so much from my previous post and not only about poetry pamphlets and poetry collections! First, I learned that it's OK to quickly type a post and press publish: not every post requires hours of planning and drafting.   Second, it's OK to ask you (yes, you, dear reader) questions and seek out your opinion -… Continue reading Do you blog from your phone?
