I have been absent from the wonders of a posting for a while as I had a thesis to create/submit, a masters place to apply for, taken on babysitting duties for one pretty active two year old and am nursing an abandoned cat back to happiness.
However, I have now completed my BA (Hons) with a first, been offered a place at the only university I applied to ( Bath Spa University ) on the Masters Creative Writing course of my choice and have got my head around the wonders of little boys with more energy than a whirlwind in full whirl. So I have no excuse to be absent from the world of words for any longer. It feels really strange to be at the end of one era and the beginning of another and I hope it will be a fantastic opportunity and adventure.
In fact, today I heard that the folks at Clarendon House Publications have accepted a poem of mine – a contemporary sonnet – for publication in their forthcoming anthology. Wonderful news and another step along this new path!
All of the above celebrated with a cocktail suitably called ‘Pen and Ink’!
