I’m Peachy!

So…I have this problem, and it began with a friend and a book and the fact that my Grandma might have been part peach. Seriously.

Ten Things of Thankful #76

So often here I’ll wax lyrical about things in a very ’emotional landscape’ kind of way – all about how I felt or what I thought, or some kind of introspective analysis of me/my brain/the world/whatever. Not so this week. This week it’s all about ACTION. TEN THINGS OF THINGS WOT HAPPENED*. Thankful things (thankfully).

Ten Things of Thankful #73

If you’re reading this on Friday, I suspect two things: 1) You’re astonished to see this up so early (i.e. at the beginning of when the link-up’s meant to go live, not several hours after) 2) I’m still driving. You see, there will be absolutely NO way for me to write this post on the…

Ten Things of Thankful #66

SO, my lovelies…last week I got all caught up in the mad/genius idea of ‘selling’ my writing in return for donations to your favourite cancer charity, and an incredible FOURTEEN people bought into the idea, which made me very, VERY happy, and made you guys ROCKSTARS in my eyes (cos everyone was completely and supportive…

The Stupid Post

I’ve been threatening this for a while now. No…I’ve begun badly already, you see, I’ve started talking (or is it writing? – writing but talking (cos I hear it in my mind as talking, yet my fingers know it as typing, and I guess you see it as writing so…)) in my own voice. AH…

I’m not writing about not-writing, but I #AmWriting

I’m writing, though quite *what* I’m writing, I daren’t qualify. If you make it through to the end and discover some kind of point, let me know. I just finished reading an absolute PIG of a post…no, really – Yvonne wrote it on purpose to suggest manners in which the (figuratively) bunged-up writer could unblock…

Ten Things of Thankful #57

So it is that we go from possibly the most WONDERFUL Ten Things list I’ve ever done, all full of glitterbombs and friends and love…to what might be one of the most ‘blah’. In fact, NO! Because, come onnn! I’m meant to be practicing at being a writer…so even if my week was blah with…

Killing Laura

The first thing I wanted this morning was just to know that you didn’t hate me for doing this to you. For killing you so horribly, but you see, it had to fit… It began, as it always does (with us, anyway) with conversation – an argument in this instance, over a fellow poet, and…

Peek inside my tumbled thoughts

They’re scattered over everywhere Yet what you seek, you’ll find Peek inside my tumbled thoughts And see what fun you find Unwrap each precious, velvet thought Repeat the neurons fired Catch echoes down the rabbithole And learn how my mind’s wired Sometimes in life you have a series of coherent thoughts, or events, which occur…

A-Z April: Love Letter

Actually, I’m grateful for the opportunity of Kate’s challenge to write this. Shielded by the relative anonymity of the Blogosphere (and the knowledge that even if you somehow read this, it won’t matter, or come to anything) I can be absolutely honest and share my feelings without inhibition. I know that I’m married, but in…
