This is a great clip: if nothing else, listen to the first few minutes of Sarah Kay’s amazing spoken word poem: If I should have a daughter. This entry was posted in Writer's hints. February 3, 2014. On playing . . . Consider if you will the verb ‘to play’. What picture springs immediately to mind? For me, it is kids in a sandpit, bare chests and...

On expectations | Going with the flow . . .
https://vhay4072.wordpress.com/2015/01/10/44/comment-page-1
Going with the flow . . . Words both written and read, inspirations, motivations, life. But I would like to add another key factor: expectation. You see, I’m not surprised that I’ve already failed my writing challenge! I knew I would, I just rather hoped it wouldn’t be so soon! Or is it really the rest of life? Why do we project into the future what we ‘know’ will happen when in fact we have no idea? Of course, as supposedly intelligent beings, we have the gift of prediction: this is what happened last t...

Going with the flow . . . Words both written and read, inspirations, motivations, life. On playing . . . It will come as no revelation to any of us that the English language is a complex and confusing method of communication, even if, like me, you have been practising its use for the past . . . well, more years than you like to remember! Consider if you will the verb ‘to play’. What picture springs immediately to mind? And yet what is there in common between my kids in the sandpit and the intensity of th...

Going with the flow . . . Words both written and read, inspirations, motivations, life. Sarah Kay: If I should have a daughter. This is a great clip: if nothing else, listen to the first few minutes of Sarah Kay’s amazing spoken word poem: If I should have a daughter. If you have time, go ahead and listen to the rest she is wonderful and has much to say that we could take into our writing I think and even if not, it is a beautifully crafted and presented piece . . . I love it! February 3, 2014. Do you st...

Going with the flow . . . Words both written and read, inspirations, motivations, life. Writer’s hints from Maeve Binchy:. I have just finished reading Maeve’s Times a collection of Maeve’s articles written for and published in the Irish Times from the 1960s to the 2000s it’s a very entertaining read and especially good if you want to be drawn in and entertained without having to worry too much about anything! Write with the on-the-spot directness of the people and events you meet and see. January 7, 2014.

Reflections from New Year’s day, 2015. | Going with the flow . . .
https://vhay4072.wordpress.com/2015/01/09/reflections-from-new-years-day-2015
Going with the flow . . . Words both written and read, inspirations, motivations, life. Reflections from New Year’s day, 2015. I’m really not sure why we stopped. For a while, a short while, sharing my writing with the select little group we rather grandiosely referred to as ‘writer’s club’, gave me extreme pleasure. Then, quite suddenly and without acknowledgement, it petered out. We simply stopped writing. Or at least we stopped writing publicly. Peace sometimes dissipate, but right now feels great so ...

The Continuing Saga of ‘the foot’! | Going with the flow . . .
https://vhay4072.wordpress.com/2014/01/20/the-continuing-saga-of-the-foot
Going with the flow . . . Words both written and read, inspirations, motivations, life. The Continuing Saga of ‘the foot’! These three episodes, along with the previous Reflections on my latest learning , are together what I have come to think of as The saga of the foot . . . with apologies for repetition and harping on. Certainly the writing process during this time has been more for my own benefit than the pleasurable reading of others! It’s not about the foot. Humankind has, if nothing else, an amazin...
