Telling stories, sharing ideas, making connections. Monthly Archives: February 2013. A bit of competition success. February 10, 2013. One of my writing aims for this year is to enter more competitions. I’m off to a good start, placing second in a flash fiction challenge run by the Nottingham Festival of Words. I don’t normally enter comps. There’s such a long gap between sending off a story and hearing the result; I’m too impatient. But my artist friend Elaine. Writing flash fictions inspired by customers.

Under the bookshelf: November 2014
http://underthebookshelf.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Odd thoughts and images from an undercover writer. Friday, 28 November 2014. Rural grit: the power of writing in nature. This morning I read Grace Nichols' poem, 'Wings'. I don't think I've ever heard her called a nature poet - I'm guessing people most often define her as a Caribbean poet - but in so many of her poems the natural world is powerful force, driving her imagery. Here's the opening stanza of 'Wings':. We thought it fitting. The sustenance of our roots,. So that when uprootment came. It silenc...

Under the bookshelf: What I read in 2012
http://underthebookshelf.blogspot.com/p/what-im-reading-in-2012.html
Odd thoughts and images from an undercover writer. What I read in 2012. In 2012 I kept a list of every book I read because I so often forget author's names and book titles. I looked back at it often, so now the year's ended, I think I'll keep it here, and begin a new list for 2013. Howards End is on the Landing. The Virago Book of Women Travellers. Ed Mary Morris with Larry O'Connor. Flora Britannica Book of Wild Herbs. The Betrayal of Trust. How it all began. This is where I leave you. City of the Mind.
