I'm struggling to keep going with a blog a day.... but here I am. After the election of Donald Trump in the US and the EU referendum result in the UK, and with the rise of the far-Right in mainland Europe, not to mention the continued oppression of so many of the world's people in… Continue reading The miracle of keeping going
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

My classes have… Continue reading What I did over Half-Term

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.

Before you wonder… Continue reading Movember: My husband’s story
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
