I'm not posting here as regularly as I used to. It's possibly because I'm using Instagram as a kind of blog, posting a picture and a little commentary over there quite frequently. It's an extremely easy way of posting so I can see why it's become so popular. Are you on Instagram? Give me a follow… Continue reading All quiet on the blogging front
It's my final post of the year so a good time to say thank you for reading my blog. I've made many friends over the five years I've been blogging, some of whom I've become friends with in real life and some of whom I feel I'm friends with, even though we've only met on… Continue reading Goodbye 2016
Well, friends, we've made it. Thank you so much for being with me on this blogging extravaganza of thirty whole days! And doesn't the world look different today? As I look out at our frosty garden, I can hardly believe that it's only been one month since my husband, Andrew, and our son were in… Continue reading Wordy Wednesday – #NaBloPoMo – we did it!
Summer is whizzing by and my head is filling up with to do lists. At this point, they are mild-mannered and patient lists, humming softly to themselves as summer ripens around them, but once they cotton-on to shrinking daylight and cooler winds, once they catch sight of the date on the calendar and the dying… Continue reading Summer is whizzing by
This is an invitation to take part in a new blogging event 'What's in my pocket (or bag) and what does it say about me?' All you have to do is to publish a new blog post which includes an image of what's in your pocket/bag and a brief explanation about it. Link back (pingback) to this… Continue reading New Blogging Event: What’s in my pocket?
Hot on the trails of my post about the joys of poetry festivals, I'm happy to tell you that I will be the official Blogger at this year's Winchester Poetry Festival which will take place October 7 - 9. I will be posting my Festival Blogs on this site, as well as tweeting poetry snippets… Continue reading Blogging for Winchester Poetry Festival 2016
Judging by a few comments I've read recently, It seems that New Year is a time when people decide to start a new blog or make a decision to blog more regularly. For the last two years, I've been trying to write in this blog at least once a week although I haven't always succeeded.… Continue reading On blogging regularly
I won't be around for the whole of November (I'm going away for eight days) otherwise I would've been tempted to join in with National Blog Posting Month and publish a blog post a day for the whole of November. However, if you're on a NaBloPoMo mission and are looking for some inspiration, here are… Continue reading Ideas and prompts for NaBloPoMo
Is this a thing? I think I'm experiencing it! I'm ploughing through my unfinished poems and despatching them to magazines at rates previously unknown to me. I have eight poems out with four different magazines. As most magazines take between 4 - 8 months to respond to submissions, I've decided to send them in twos… Continue reading Low Blogging Energy, High Writing Energy!
I've realised that deciding to publish a blogpost every week is much easier than actually doing it. There have been several false starts. I was going to write about waiting, since that is what I'm doing a lot of this week - this month, in fact. I'm waiting to hear about poems I've submitted to… Continue reading Starting and ending meetings with a poem
