Breaking the solar system!

My writing output may have been pants over the last few weeks but at least I have been putting my creative energy to good use - making the solar system. The only problem is I'm not particularly gifted with any artistic talent...

[More:]

This may explain why in less than 24 hours Saturn has already broken in half! Still, at least my son is happy with his mobile depicting this not particularly version of the solar system.

While my own writing may not be going anywhere particularly fast at the moment, it was great this morning to hear the post plop through the door and find both the latest edition of Mslexia and Catherine Edmunds' collection wormwood, earth and honey from Circaidy Gregory Press. The only problem now is which one to start first! I am in reading heaven...so you may not hear from me again for a while. ;-)

The solar system looks great to me. Where's my Mslexia?

Thanks Jak.
I haven't got it M, honest. Mine only arrived literally this morning. It looks great as always (sorry, couldn't resist it!) ironically though I haven't really had a chance to start reading. I went for a long bath this afternoon while the children were out, intending to start the mag - and ended up working on a new poem of my own instead! Still, at least I'm writing again, as I haven't written anything new the past week or so.

Oh, Galileo would be proud of your solar system...
