Right, I’m blogging again

I don’t know why. I thnk I have rather fallen out of the habit of keeping a paper diary since the advent of the internet. They have their place, and I recently bought a couple of beautiful sky blue Moleskine Volant notebooks. But… They don’t get written in much. I think I find writing frustrating [...]

A song and a poem

I just discovered this song, it’s beautiful. Mmmmm, snuggly winter music. Must try the rest of the album now…
Listen online here.
And I just wrote this. Poetry has been a long time coming, I’ve missed it.
Don’t knock me off my perch
I’m fragile up here
Confident and calm
The slightest word will send me flying
Back into the depths
This is [...]

30 weeks

 
This was taken today, and I’m now 30 weeks pregnant. 30 weeks was always the point at which I promised myself I’d start panicking, because, well – 10 weeks to go. That sounds crazy to me But actually I feel fairly calm, and not much like panicking. When I watched the bizarre NCT [...]

We’ll collect those lonely parts and set them down

Lately I feel that I miss the girl I used to be, now that I know for sure that I’ll never go back to being her again. I don’t even necessarily want to be her, just sometimes feel a little wistfulness for myself a year or so ago. I remember being into kitsch stuff and [...]

It’s that NaNoWriMo time again…

Well, almost! Starting on the 1st of November really, but I’m already on the forums again. I need to think what to write about this year! I have a few ideas for 2nd characters but no plot or theme as yet. Argh. I’m bound to come up with a plot and structure in a month, [...]

Like a thundering horse

Just suddenly I feel myself wanting to write. There’s a clean untouched notebook downstairs, but I’d have to go and get it and G’s watching TV and I’d feel… that I was making rather a palaver of the whole thing. I don’t want Writing to become something said with a capital letter, the word making [...]

More quotey-ness :)

I keep finding great quotes online. But I still can’t write, online or off. I think I have creative block because I’m happy for once. Not that I’m complaining!

We each have a journey in this life and you can’t really know where people are supposed to go, maybe they were supposed to be [...]

Camp

I thought I’d create a special permanant page for stuff associated with the Sacred Arts Camp 2007. So my random musings and photo sets devoted to it don’t get lost in the mists of time
I’m kind of worried about a friend of mine at the moment. It’s daft but I just have a [...]

I remember what wanting to write is like

I think I’ve broken the writers block I didn’t quite know I had. I can tell this because I want to write things. Nifty, eh?
I’ve spent most of the day lounging around making my hair look pretty and listening to pretentious music. My DVD of Heavenly Creatures arrived so I watched that (it was as [...]

When I daydream, the whole world shrinks around me; one blurry circle

When I used to work in a library, I would scribble notes to myself during quiet moments on the counter. Ideas, or people who I wanted to remember, or things I overheard.
Clearing out my desk the other day yielded a flurry of these notelets, neatly folded white squares of paper that exploded out of a [...]
