So, news, on Monday the newsletter went out (sign up here if you want to get on the list), pretty exciting, am getting to grips, S-L-O-W-L-Y, with Twitter, have to say though…ain’t easy.
Today I have read hundreds of stories for the IGGY short story prize, and have shortlised ten out of 30 poems for the John Betjeman poetry prize, I did this in the bath whilst listening to Pure Garage.
I then get a phone call from my dad to inform me that Echoes has had a shout in Marie Claire, apparently Echoes is ‘beyond cool.’ They obviously don’t know that my big toenail is black and is falling off because I stepped on it…yes with my other foot, I’m not sure how ‘beyond cool’ that makes me or anything I do, but am so flustered with the support I need to calm down and eat a caramel rocky bar. Thanks Marie Claire for that excuse to eat a caramel rocky bar.
Now I'm writing two poetical stories, sorry for the super-duper intelligent pretentious lingo…I am just really enjoying breaking writing rules at the moment, peppering sentences with twisty turny poetical phrases. The first is called SIEVE (which is about a girl that works in a sieve factory) the second is called TOPPLE (mainly it is about love.) I will soon put these up for you to read.
Have started off another new project too: MAPS. If my rubbish drawings haven’t offended you enough in the past it is your lucky day! Maps are set of illustrated…well… maps… of my favourite places; the maps are covered in stories and poems and am hoping to exhibit them in the future. Got Soho completed and
Good day and love to you all.
