Small sucesses

It was good to have a poem appear last week on Ink, Sweat and Tears. There is nothing like seeing one of your poems 'in print' to give you a lift.

According to my paypal account I seem to have won a small scale poetry competition organised by the Write Idea. We had to write a poem a week for six weeks and I really wasn't expecting to get anywhere with it so that was a nice discovery last night.

I'm going to spend the winnings on some poetry craft books - probably The Poet's companion: a guide to the pleasures of writing poetry By Kim Addonizio, Dorianne Laux once I've worked out how to get the funds out of paypal.

Lots of poems

The lack of blog posts have been because I've been busy writing. What better excuse. It has been good. I've had a couple of acceptances with poems due to appear on Everyday poets and Ink Sweat and tears.
