Manifesto-y

Manifesto-y. Answering a very difficult question for @sputnikmagazine

The left-handed writer So. I have a couple of poems going up in an exhibition at the Catalyst Festival. Grand. But the organisers also wanted a bit of blurb about ‘why I write’. That paralysed me.

I did log on for a quick peek, while data and phone battery survived.  I saw that baby Alice is back! Also a discussion about a door in the bedroom.  

Please let me know if I’ve missed anything else in CtM world, also If you’ve written anything as I’d love to read it.

I did get some inspiration while I was away, but now I have to try and decipher my hand-writing, then type them up.  “Homecoming” will be posted later today.
