Scribblers
Sunday October 8th & November 12th
at 2-4pm
For anybody who is afflicted with the need to
scribble. Come and read what you have written to other poets and authors who would
love to listen to you.
Let us gather
together in friendship at the ‘Look and Sea’ Visitor Centre
in
Littlehampton, above the Harbour Lights Café, overlooking the River Arun.
There is a pay and display car park nearby. Email me
with your questions or to say that you cannot wait to meet us and read your
poems, flash fiction, scribblings etc.

Welcome to my blog. It was
formerly my sports diary and I have not posted during the summer months whilst
I was busy training and competing in triathlon events. Since I don’t have any
races for the next 6-7 weeks I thought it might be useful to use it to give out
any more information and answers to questions that people might have about the
new writing group Scribblers.
I live in Littlehampton and
previously went, when I could to the Worthing WOW Write Nights when they were
in Frasers Bay at the Connaught Theatre and then last year at St Pauls, just
over the road from there. I thought St Pauls was a big improvement on Frasers,
I personally did not like it much since the actual bar remained open and there were
coming and goings while readings were in progress. I really missed those
meetings and so thought I would start another closer to my home.
This blog was at first used
for my own poetry but drifted into being more of a diary as I said. If anybody has a poem they would
like me to post here please sent it to me in an email and I will happily put it
up. Meanwhile I will post one of mine every now and again until we get going.

Just to fill the space I
have added a couple of photos that show evidence that about three years ago I
had an accident when I was out run training and broke three bones. I was so
angry with myself and had no idea how a prize fidget like me was going to cope
with being out of action for a while. It was pretty soon after that I realise I
must impose some sort of discipline on my self to save myself from being
permanently grumpy. The idea that came up to keep me from sulking was that I
must write a poem a day until my fitness was restored. I have always loved
poetry even as a child but writing was new although I was always big into
letter writing and had a number of pen pals as a teenager.
I did do a full year of one
a day poems but then settled down to a couple a week and have not stopped. So
much about me. Let’s hear about you.
