I think the idea expressed in that last post - that life was getting back to normal - was just too tempting for Fate! Instead life continues on something of a roller-coaster here and the protracted heatwave doesn't help productivity either, but I know all writers go through fallow patches and usually live to tell the tale ...
Positives over the last couple of weeks though have been visits to local writing groups to talk about opportunities to take part in The Writer's Room on NHSound. It's been great to sit in and listen to some excellent poetry and prose - my thanks to both Caldicot Writers and Newport Writers, who have made me very welcome at their respective meetings. Alyson Rees, a talented young poet from Caldicot and quite a newcomer to the local scene, took part in last Thursday's programme and read some very thought-provoking and insightful work. I'm very much looking forward to contributions to the programme in the next few months from several other writers in both groups. The Wye Valley Writers will be launching their anthology on the programme on August 30th too; Monmouthshire appears alive with creative energy just now!
