5 Ways Too… New Years… Kitten

It’s a picture of my kitten to tempt you all to take a look, I need traffic on my website cos I want to sell my book. I’ve been writing and reediting until it’s made me sick. And to get my kid to illustrate I’ve had to use a stick. I know I have ignoredContinue reading “5 Ways Too… New Years… Kitten”

My Kiddie Wink Writied a Thing Too

Remember the exercise I did yesterday. Remember I said Alex did the exercise too. I said Tabby wrote something, but that’s still basically irrelevant because she still won’t let me read it. Alex is letting me post her work. Too much explainie, read this… I Writied A Thing Then read this : The Fenir laughed asContinue reading “My Kiddie Wink Writied a Thing Too”

I Writied A Thing

Tuesday Writer’s club, you know the sad shadow of my time in KSP (cursed be that place), when Alex, Tabby, Charlie and I sit at the dining room table and pretend we can still pretend to learn to write. A really nice guy joins us.  Anyway today we did an exercise in honour of TrogletContinue reading “I Writied A Thing”

Exercising the Writing Muscles.

Yes the crazy characters at KSP Writing Centre are still letting me give real people exercises to do.  Here’s last week’s: To write about writing is such a drag The only thing worse is my facillitator’s nag Without a life of her own, she’s destroying mine! If I was asleep at home all would beContinue reading “Exercising the Writing Muscles.”

Spring!

My face is terribly swollen My nose no longer drips Instead it oozes like molasses Until it inevitably slips. My eyes are perpetually itchy My throat and ears scratch and burn. My head is painful and heavyContinue reading “Spring!”

Smokie – Mighty Hunter or Marshmallow Cloud

I’m Smokie; I’m a hunter! You will not see my like. I follow my prey to the ends of the Earth; Unless its a bit of a hike. My best move is to stay very still, And ambush things that pass. But I get bored quite quickly, If things don’t happen fast. My sister caughtContinue reading “Smokie – Mighty Hunter or Marshmallow Cloud”

My darkness

As the pain deepens The chasm widens Every approach from either side Does some more damage The gulf more wide I speak to my children I try to explain Then fall back into habit and only complain They don’t understand me To me they’re a mystery The harder  we struggle The harder we try We’reContinue reading “My darkness”

The Other Woman

Why have you deserted me, why run to Her? Our life may be humdrum, but what’s the great lure? Cherise was so loving, never far did she stray, Now at the Granny flat she tries to stay! I lost all my children; one, two, three, four… For the sweets or the freedom or perhaps somethingContinue reading “The Other Woman”
