I've only just realised that it's the last day of winter. That isn't like me. That isn't like me at all. Usually, I'm counting down the days with dread, wishing the cold season would just hang on and then some. But this winter has left me confused, worried and upset. I don't know what to… Continue reading 100 Days Of Blogging #15 – The Last Day Of Winter
A few friends have been asking what's up recently, and giving them a concise answer has been challenging. I've mainly been replying with 'just some big life stuff.' I've been hanging on, as it were, but I didn't realise quite how deeply this 'big life stuff' has been impacting me until yesterday when I went… Continue reading What’s Up? Just Some Big Life Stuff.
February feels like it happened a thousand years ago. I was supposed to get this post up last week, while my memory of February's reading journey had yet to be dimmed by my currently shoddy memory. But writing it was taking energy I didn't have to give, so it's been sat in my drafts until… Continue reading Reading In The Dark – The Books I Read In February
Before I sat down to write this post, I glanced out of my window and saw a teenage girl flouncing past in a crop top, capri leggings and fluffy flip flops. Winter still has a few days left to its name, but in that teen's world, it would seem Spring arrived yesterday. With it being… Continue reading In These Last Days Of Winter – The Law Of Life By Jack London
It's been a strange day. The whole weekend has been odd, actually. I've been kind of floating around, feeling all out of sorts, and I haven't been able to put my finger on exactly why I'm feeling this way. I don't know if it's because we're approaching the end of winter, or because my poetry… Continue reading It’s Been A Strange Day – Sunday Musings
Old Man Winter clearly heard me yesterday, grumbling that it wasn't fair that the South of the country was getting the snowfall. When I woke up this morning after having had a dream that left me feeling like I hadn't slept at all (I'm having far too many of those sorts these days) he'd left… Continue reading What Is Bringing You Joy Today? – Snow
It's been two weeks since I signed out of my social media accounts, and, as it was when I was writing my last post about this topic, my phone is on the other side of the room. The only sound it's made today was when my alarm went off this morning. I don't have as… Continue reading Some Thoughts On Two Weeks Away From Social Media
I spend much of my days researching into and writing about Winter. I'll be writing about Winter as the seasons shift, and the days become longer and warmer, and then, as we move into the colder months again. I'm already anticipating the diary I'll keep from November, by which time I'll hopefully be in Norway.… Continue reading Is It Snowing Where You Are? – Winter Art & Words
Welcome to the second and final part of Reading Myself Back To Life, in which I share some of the books that had quite the impact on me in 2020. If any of these books have found their way into your life too, I’d love to know. Or if you intend on getting any, I’d… Continue reading Reading Myself Back To Life: Books I Read In 2020 (Part II)
How's your writing year going so far? Extremely fucking well I hope! My plan for what writing I'd like to get done this year has been shifted around and re-drafted in the past few days, as I found myself experiencing a stronger pull to the projects I wanted to work on in the second half… Continue reading Write Yourself Awake: Wyrd Creative Writing Prompts
