Writing Retreats and Free Apples

October 13, 2019 Kate2 Comments

So I was invited on a BAME and marginalised voices writing retreat. It was for those who are under-represented in the writing and publishing world. I guess ideally this would never have come about because no one would be on the edges and left out. The reality though is that I am less likely to… Continue reading Writing Retreats and Free Apples

Moving

August 31, 2019 KateLeave a comment

Don't get me wrong... I moved 3 and a half years ago, but I left my workshop. The paints, pencils, artwork... everything frozen in time. But there have been problems. The workshop got a leak, there was a flood...   The artwork started to deteriorate. There was a mold that started to creep across the… Continue reading Moving

To truly see

October 3, 2018 Kate2 Comments

"Look at me," the teacher said. "Look at me," said a friend. "Look at me," said a boss. "Look at me," said a customer. Look at me. They were the words that followed me around until I was twenty. Then finally a friend asked something that no one had. "Why can't you look at me?"… Continue reading To truly see

Instinct

March 15, 2017 Kate2 Comments

Do you rely on them? I have in the past. I've even lost friends over them when my instinct has come so close to truth that they have become frightened I was some kind of psychic... I'm not. I just rely on instinct. If someone has been angry all week and you have a meeting… Continue reading Instinct

Nervous

March 8, 2017March 8, 2017 Kate4 Comments

I get nervous all the time. It happens as I sit in my workshop or out when I'm walking, shopping or being with friends. Don't get me wrong there is nothing that has changed except I have friends. Five years ago I would have been hard pushed to name five, now they are everywhere and… Continue reading Nervous

Blur

February 19, 2017 Kate4 Comments

I wear glasses, a lot... In truth all the time. I am particularly blind without them. If you know about eyes then I have astigmatism, a squint and myopia. If you don't know eyes then I have nearsightedness, I can't see horizontal or vertical and if I get tired my right eye can look at… Continue reading Blur

Snow!

March 4, 2016 Kate4 Comments

It's snowing here in Wales. What does that mean? Well, more accidents than normal. I mean, so far there have been two in a small village not far away and at least one on the coast road. Doesn't sound like much? I suppose if I lived in a large urban area it wouldn't be but I… Continue reading Snow!

A social evening…

August 15, 2015 Kate2 Comments

Most people will tell you that I'm not really much of a party animal, and they'd be right. When I was a young sprightly youth I did the raves and the nightclubs, but now I'm more about the conversation and the people I'm with. Not so much the dancing and the beat. So last night… Continue reading A social evening…

Do you consider yourself disabled?

June 8, 2015 Kate10 Comments

That is what I saw on a form I was filling out. Do I? I mean technically I am but to I consider myself disabled? Oh, meet me in the street and you will see nothing. In fact you will probably notice nothing. I don't blame anyone for not. I do not have a neon… Continue reading Do you consider yourself disabled?

Bad news…

February 20, 2015 Kate6 Comments

Basically my funding application has been refused for my PhD. Which means that even if I am given a place I can't go, unless there is a sudden influx of money or some other funding comes available. Oh! Look! A flying pig and it's wearing a purple cardigan with pink spots... Okay - I'm being… Continue reading Bad news…
