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.
Worse for wear!
Both my dress and I are suffering the after-effects of too much wine at last night's fantastic summer ball.
On Trial!
It's been a week of trials for me, starting with contacts and then trying out my outfit for Friday's ball...with dubious results!
One woman went to mow...
My husband's latest present has not exactly blown me away - though it's certainly moved me.
Schooled-out!
It may be half-term coming up but I'm still feeling all schooled-out - for various reasons!
Worth the weight!
I am now half the woman I was after squeezing into a size eight dress for my husband's work's summer ball...be warned, guys, you may not want to read any further!
Antiinflammatories!
I've finally got fed up and am resorting to trying antiinflammatories to kick the bursitis in my hip into touch once and for all. I only wish they did antinflammatories for one's mental spirits as well as the physical body, as I could certainly do with some after today...
Mother and babies doing fine!
We have cygnets! Walking down by the canal this morning I saw the two babies out for a swim with one of the swans. The other swan was still on her nest but it didn't look good for the last remaining egg.
Another small step!
It really has been a surprisingly good month for me on the writing front. Today, I found out my poem Slivers had been chosen by Matthew Francis in the latest Guardian online poetry workshop.
Net-working, not working!
I may not have been blogging much lately, but I haven't been doing much proper writing either. Facebooks, emails, phone calls and the like seem to have distracted me. It was nice though during one bout of procrastinating offline, to come across a name I recognised.
Picture Perfect
All my buses are definitely arriving at once. A beautiful sunny day for yesterday's town festival, the boys at their grandparents so we could enjoy our first cinema trip in months and the latest issue of Orbis, complete with one of my poems inside!
