I’ve been buying notebooks again, however I do believe that this is based on fair reasoning.
In preparation for the third of April, when I will be launching my new book of poetry and stories at the Shrewsbury Coffee House, I’m attempting to attend more poetry open mic nights.
Since most of my poetry is spread over an accumulation of about five individual notepads, interspersed with inspirational imagery, chapters from fan fictions and layouts for original chapters, a new form of organisation seemed overdue.
The plain notepad is the new one. Dedicated to poetry only, and what is more, dedicated to completed poems only. It is what I will hopefully be reading from at any future open mic nights and what I should be reading from on the third of April. (Though that night I may read just from the book.)
Do leave a message if you know of any up and coming poetry nights in the U.K, preferably around Shropshire or Bath. Even if they’re not open mic, it is still nice to go out for an evening of poetry.

There’s just no comparison, to writing on a notepad. Something about the tip of a pen and the feel of it against paper right? 🙂

Ah..you see what I feel then when I write on paper, nice 🙂
Thank you. I do tend to type more though, it is a lot quicker.
I find that too, Often i find myself drafting on paper a lot before typing it up on screen and publishing.
