It happened, the other week, that I finally launched my new blog. There's not much there, as yet, but you're welcome to come see and have a read of what does exist. I have lists, many lists of posts I want to create. So new writings are very high on the horizon.
A Wyrd Of Her Own – My New Website Has Launched
Hallo, hallo. I hope you're surviving this most surreal of Summers as best you can. We're past the height of it now though, and King Winter is on the move. For those of you who are interested, I have a new website - A Wyrd Of Her Own. I'll also soon be blogging at A… Continue reading A Wyrd Of Her Own – My New Website Has Launched
The Last Conversation : An Interview With Bob Beagrie
This will be the last post I publish on Wyrd Words & Effigies*. I can't think of a better way of bringing this lengthy journey (I've been publishing here since 2013) to a close than by featuring a conversation with one of the most significant figures to have played a role in my life as… Continue reading The Last Conversation : An Interview With Bob Beagrie
Write It Out
I posted what you're about to read on social media. I thought it ought to have a home here too. P.S. In light of my life being upended, my blogging has been neglected, so I'll be leaving behind the 100 Days Of Blogging series and will come back to posting regularly when I feel ready… Continue reading Write It Out
100 Days Of Blogging #39 – I’m Not A Woman Who Cowers
The past couple of days have been, to put it lightly, some of the worst I've ever experienced. I'm not currently in my home and for reasons I don't want to delve into at the moment, I don't feel safe to ever live there again. But I'm not a woman who cowers and I will… Continue reading 100 Days Of Blogging #39 – I’m Not A Woman Who Cowers
100 Days Of Blogging #38 – There’s Been Some Life In My Life
I've been gone a little while. Life has been happening, and I've permitted myself to be a part of it. In the past, the guilt I would have experienced about not keeping up with something I'd set out to do would have been brutally heavy and mean. It would have mentally beaten me to a… Continue reading 100 Days Of Blogging #38 – There’s Been Some Life In My Life
100 Days Of Blogging #37 – Swordstress
Another day when time has been EATEN UP. But it's been eaten up by important things like watching lambs, editing poetry and gathering photos together for not one but TWO photography publications I'll be putting out this year. However I do have a photo to share from yesterday's shoot with my buddy Ian from Smoggywood… Continue reading 100 Days Of Blogging #37 – Swordstress
100 Days Of Blogging #36 – There’s A Witch In The Forest
Not much for you today folks, I'm afraid. I was out for most of the afternoon being photographed in the forest waving around a sword and trying not to trip over my billowing robes (aka a black, roughed up sheet hoiked up around my waist with a hair tie) and am well and truly knackered.… Continue reading 100 Days Of Blogging #36 – There’s A Witch In The Forest
100 Days Of Blogging #35 – The Moody Art Of Aron Wiesenfeld
Through my friend Sarah Elizabeth's book The Art of Darkness, I was introduced to the work of Aron Wiesenfeld. There's a Post-It Note on the page featuring Wiesenfeld's oil on panel piece The Pit with a scribble of text saying, 'do a photo series inspired by this.' I set out to do so the other day, though it didn't… Continue reading 100 Days Of Blogging #35 – The Moody Art Of Aron Wiesenfeld
100 Days Of Blogging #34 – I Did That Thing You Should Never Do
I've deleted the content of this post because I don't think it was necessary to have here. What I will say though is that 'thing I did that you should never do' was I looked at an ex's Instagram account. It wasn't a wise thing to do. It just hurt.
