One Down

and one to go.

The poetry event I attended and read at on Tuesday was good fun. My Writing Group went and every one of them impressed me (even the ones who were a little nervous before hand). So, well done chaps.

The evening was slightly spoiled though. The person who’d organised it had booked the pub’s back room. A good idea, no? A family had booked a table for dinner and somehow were given a table in the same room. Not so good. Them, expecting a nice evening out having to compete with a bunch of poets who had also expected a nice evening. Luckily they were good sports and kept the noise down (which they really shouldn’t have needed to do) and we made a point of apologising and saying a lot of thank yous.

I’ve another tonight so hopefully we’ll be able to hear ourselves read. We shall see.

Editing

I’ve been editing today. Hard work (see above) but it seems to be going well.

And this is in spite of me having some sort of hay fever which has made me feel a little lethargic. Life goes on.

I’m attending a couple of local poetry events this week and have been pondering what to take to read (to the people there – not because I’ll be bored). I wrote one about Fairies the other week and I’m keen for that to feature. As for what else, I’m not so sure. I’m sure I’ll think of something. Trouble is, I’ve never been to a poetry event before so I’m not sure what to expect. I will, of course, let you know how it went.
