Helpful

Wednesday, April 1st, 2015

Just a reminder to other poets that there is lots of helpful stuff over on the NaPoWriMo site. I personally am gearing up by writing from images in an old fashion mag I’ve ended up with – some of the prompts want to be short stories though!

NaPoWriMo 2015

Tuesday, March 31st, 2015

Having already done two poetry writing drives this year I am preparing myself for yet another poem a day challenge called National Poetry Writing Month – pretty much if there is a challenge I will take part in it 🙂 I am going for the spending 30 hrs on poetry this month rather than 30 […]

WoPo – Wow!

Saturday, February 28th, 2015

The poem a day challenge that I run February called WoPoWriMo has been amazing! I’ve also just heard that several of the poems people wrote during last years challenge have been published – this is amazing and kudos goes to the writers but at the same time they’ve said they couldn’t have done it without […]

WoPo Inspired

I have created a board on Pinterest with images and pictures that I think would be good jumping off points for poems – it is here.

WoPo 2015!

Sunday, February 1st, 2015

It is that time of year again – I will be attempting to not only write a poem a day through out February but to spend an hour each day working on poetry stuff. I have book cases full of note books with stuff to type up, only a fraction of it is poetry but […]

Month of Poetry Done and Dusted

Thursday, January 22nd, 2015

Well I have created the roughs and now have to make them good! I’m still working on the typing up and stuff each day but the main premise of the writing challenge is done! This is one of the reasons I love writing challenges, as they really help me get all that poetry out of […]

Happy Poetry!

Thursday, January 1st, 2015

It is the beginning of 2015 and a time to start a fresh and plan my writing and poetry year! And this is ever more complicated as I am now having to keep a two year diary for bookings! Anyway, one of the keys is to be able to keep writing, I sometimes get far […]

End of NaPo

Wednesday, April 30th, 2014

It can be hard fitting in time for the writing challenges but one of things I find is that I sort of end up binge writing which is interesting. I spend time looking through photos and observing things and sometimes researching and it sort of all backlogs in my brain until I get a chance […]

Finished! And News.

Saturday, February 15th, 2014

Yep 🙂 I have 30 new shiny poems written this month – although they are not all narratives or stories as I had intended, which is the reason I will still be writing until the end of the month! I feel quiet chuffed to be at this point considering it is about half way through […]

One Week Over

Friday, February 7th, 2014

I am rocking the poetry writing now – I am well a head of schedule and beginning to think about how I am going to spend the rest of my poetry allocated time 🙂 I have a lot of poems to type up, with last months efforts too I now have almost a reporters note […]
