Which makes it a convenient analogy for my writing....
Over the summer, I was very grateful to have been selected for the MumWrite development course (see my post about it here). As a result, I got some new writing done and started submitting work again. This month, I have a crop of publications to share with the world. Like the children's harvest, it is small, but it is an encouragement for me to keep going, and hopefully it will also bring a bit of joy to anyone who comes across the poems. Here are some links:
My poem 'dream' is in issue #3 of -algia.
Two poems, 'Selfharm/Selfcare' and 'Twitter-light' on the Selcouth Station website.
My poem 'Headspace [no vacancies]' is in issue #69 of streetcake magazine.
While all these small fruits have been emerging, we have been cocooned back in isolation as cases of covid have cropped up at school, so there hasn't been much writing going on (by me, at least - the 5 year old has written a lot of painstakingly slow sentences about seasons). Hopefully there will be more time for writing and submitting again soon!
