Creative Writing CV
Sarah's extensive poetry and short story publications and competition successes.
Why read Sarah's blog?
This short piece should help people find their way round the various categories of my blog so they can get the most of the many posts on offer.
The Sofa
The seventeenth poem from my poetry collection Conception. It was first published in raw edge magazine (new writing in the West Midlands) number 19 in autumn 2004.
Up and down - the write way to go!
This week I feel like the Grand Old Duke of York - always marching up and down and never time to stop in the middle!
Beauty and brains
I've just seen a beauty advert on television for some skincare product/cream boasting of its 15% oxygen content. I wonder if one of the company's boffins forgot to tell the advertisers there's 21% oxygen in the air!
Birth of a Collection
I first published my poetry collection/pamphlet Conception nearly two years ago after the birth of my second son.
Glutton for poetry - and being pampered!
The problem with lounging at the lido all day is that one gets into relaxed mode... Actually though, with a two and four year old 'lounged' is probably not the most accurate way of describing the experience!
Fog, blog, creativity and coherency!
I have invented a new illness - called fog. The symptoms are easy to recognise, namely repetitively falling asleep on the sofa for eleven hours at a time and being unable to speak or write coherently, let alone blog!
Back to reality!
Why do holidays always have to end with unpacking, five loads of washing, getting up to speed with hundreds (600 in a week!) of emails and opening piles of post? Still, I have come up with the perfect solution...though my husband disagrees!
Distances brought close
Recently, I have been enjoying a real treat - Close Distances by writelinker Marilyn Jenkins (croescade).
