It been a while since I wrote some #poetry
The silence stood still.
Motionless.
Solitary.
He stood beside it.
Tall,
like a soldier.
Face,
in a grimace.
Arms,
folded.
Waiting.
For what?
No-one knew.

Can vouch for this poetry pamphlet! Skillfully-written, heartfelt poems about motherhood written by my good friend @samszanto.bsky.social ... why not, eh?
I have just TWO copies of my Dreich contest-winning poetry pamphlet left! Anyone like to buy a signed one for £6.50 or do a pamphlet swap?

A cafe in Japan where you enter & revisit your past but you cannot change it. You have to complete your revisit before the coffee cools. Very interesting in terms of relationships and regrets, I guess. There are 4 separate stories. It's the first in the series, apparently. Your thing?

Another 5am wake up! An urge to write some more of my #memoir beckoned which I, of course, couldn't ignore ... a small edit and 430 words later 😊
It's now 7.07am and I'm back in bed flagging.
Yay - thank goodness it's a Bank Holiday weekend!

I was on a training course yesterday. It was about using Copilot in a work environment. As a #writer it made me feel really uncomfortable. I love writing my own emails. I don't think I need any help thanks!

I get that too. I don't give up on books either even if I'm not enjoying them. You do get something from it and that can only be a good thing. I remember reading a book in my 20's that was so slow. I finished it, I was determined to.

Okay, so I've a new writing project in my head from last year's experience. It's a memoir. One I have to get down. With regret, I have to shelve Maddie & Alec's story but will get back to it asap. Today I have added 350 words to my memoir. 1211 words so far!
