I thought it might be kind of fun to have an interview with Hasty, to share our poetry journal, and to let you get to know us both a bit better. Our friendship seems to be a little bit legendary amongst those who know us, and it was the basis for the poem of love…
Unfortunately No. I shouldn’t start with an apology – that’s off-putting and you might not stay. Um.
I seem to barely inhabit this place any more. Since becoming ill and throughout my recovery period (which I think can most rightly be called a ‘Slough of Despond’), dust has fallen softly and silently, coating the surface of my laptop, whilst tiny, invisible bit-spiders have woven their silken threads into the corners of my…
Ignorance truly is bliss. The thought came to me as I snuggled with Neff on the sofa, watching MasterChef (his choice) and pondering the manner in which educating myself had ruined my enjoyment of cookery shows. It wasn’t even that I particularly WANTED to be vegan (having had a long and delicious love-affair with cheese, and…
My lovelies, *this* week I’m excited, because I have here a FRIST of epic proportions. Whenever I mention her name in the Blogosphere, the person to whom I’m speaking tends to get a bit frenzied and start using exclamations like “I LOVE her!” and “she’s the REAL DEAL” and “OMG!” And yaknow what?

And so it was that the mystery of the last few weeks of utter discombobulation, exacerbated by fear that I was once again falling apart at the seams of my mind, was solved. And I’m so, so very thankful.
Been staring at this for about an hour, in between zapping through tabs of other things because I’m tired and can’t focus. I can’t write right, right? So I’m gonna shorthand this, because it’s STILL a TToT weekend, even if 1000Speak is happening, and my brain is utterly full of ALL THE THINGS. So full…
The time has come. The time is now. Singularity is the new novel from Helena Hann-Basquiat, with Sara Litchfield, Sandy Ramsey, Lizzi Rogers and Hannah Sears. Singularity is the sequel to last year’s JESSICA — a metafictional look into Jessica’s possible pasts. Singularity is coming August 1, 2015 Singularity is its own novel, and can…
My initial reaction to Andra Watkins’ book ‘Not Without My Father: One Woman’s 444-Mile Walk of the Natchez Trace’ was to baulk, absolutely, at the premise. I walk. I run. I cycle. And that’s a truly, gut-clenchingly HUGE distance to go. Alone. Added to which, who even does that?
