How I get new ideas…

November 27, 2012 KateLeave a comment

Lately I've been asked how I get ideas for stories, so I actually sat down and thought about it... I drew a blank. I don't know - they just happen. So I thought instead of trying to explain I'd just tell you how I got one idea. I saw an ant. Just the one but… Continue reading How I get new ideas…

Radio…

November 25, 2012 Kate2 Comments

Wednesday 21st November 2012 Radio... Who knew. I know I didn't... Before the lesson I actually listened to one whole play - yah I know I'm a philistine not to have listened more.

Theatre…

November 17, 2012 Kate2 Comments

Wednesday 14th November 2012 It was an odd day and I felt slightly off kilter. I'd planned on working on toys for the morning but, due to a computer glitch, ended up gazing at a screen till it was time to rush off to my lecture. So by the time I got there I was… Continue reading Theatre…

The Kangaroo Hat

November 9, 2012 KateLeave a comment

So I thought I'd just quickly post this poem. Last year it got me 3rd prize in the Book Day competition at Aberystwyth and although it hasn't been published I am not certain I can use it for anything but a collection. So enjoy!

Poetry that I can actually manage!

November 8, 2012 KateLeave a comment

31st October 2012 It was Halloween and the spooks were out! Actually all that happened was that we had to close the window as the students going to the union party got a little loud. My lectures are held in the afternoon and evening, which does make for a dark walk back to the car… Continue reading Poetry that I can actually manage!
