More than ever this week, my brain has become worn out by being on Facebook and Twitter. It's brought home to me the value of "owning" a small space on the internet - ie a blog - where I have the luxury of more than 140 characters to write down some of my thoughts about… Continue reading Writing poems rather than Facebook posts
Carrying on as normal. You know that this isn't a political blog and, if you follow me on Instagram and you've seen my rabbit pics, you'll know that I'm not an intellectual. I don't usually blog about what's happening in the News but I don't think I can, today, write about poetry blogs or how… Continue reading What the “je suis” hashtag means to me
I'm gratified by the number of likes, comments and visits I received to my Not Quite a Post post! It just goes to show that, when you've said you're on a blogging schedule (in 2014 I've been trying to post at least once a week, usually on a Sunday) it's worth plonking your bottom down… Continue reading On the value of blogging.
This is an unwritten post, a silence, a caught in the throat, the words in my head, the left unsaid. The scratched out, the scribbled, the scrunched-up, the came to nothing. Doodles in the margins, around the edges. Gazing out there, up there, beyond here. A quick game of Hearts, a glance at Facebook, Twitter.… Continue reading Not quite a post
I don't feel I've written properly in this blog for a while even though it was my aim, this year, to post here once a week. I've sometimes resorted to using the Weekly Photo Challenge as a prompt and it's been lovely to connect with other bloggers this way. I might never have written about… Continue reading October update

I'm writing this post at 8pm on Saturday, 9th August. I'm in bed, eating an apple, there's an oversized mug of liquorice tea on the windowsill, a pile of notebooks, pens, poetry books and magazines sinking into the mattress next to me like a silent lover. Ooo-er. We're not long back from a 12 mile… Continue reading Weekly update from bed
..that aren't expressly about reading or writing. You never know who you will meet on the internet or what will turn up when you are actually looking for something completely different. Taking part in WordPress' Daily Prompts and Weekly Writing and Photo Challenges means that you will find sites using these hashtags and if you… Continue reading More blogs I follow..
Perhaps EVERYTHING is about writing, I don't know, but I come across stuff, in my WordPress travels, blogs by people who aren't expressly writing about writing and I thought I'd share some of what I've found. You might enjoy these blogs, too! If nothing else, they give a little insight into the variety of ways… Continue reading Three blogs that aren’t about writing.
If I'm not here, I might be on Instagram. I've mentioned before that I've been trying to post once a week in 2014 and usually on a Sunday. However, the school Easter holidays and a flying visit to Paris with my family meant that I missed last Sunday and my schedule is now of order. … Continue reading I’m on Instagram
