So.... what's next?...


The poetry kind of ground to a halt towards the end of the month, but I have to say I am very, very happy with my efforts and impressed by the way I stuck to the challenge throughout July. There are now, if I counted correctly, 20 new poems in the world that didn't exist at the end of June, plus a handful of haikus that I threw in for good measure.
The exercise has done me good, I feel. I am now considering another, similar creative endeavour to see me through August. Maybe a novella where I write a chapter a day, and it's finished by the 31st, or a long-form article about music where I analyse my favourite songs one by one as the days go by.
Really, I guess, I'm just looking for ways to avoid going back to writing about myself all the time. I never thought this blogsite would evolve into an outlet for my amateurish creativity, but maybe that's the way forward, and you can enjoy ignoring my pathetic product instead of ignoring my journaling, like has happened for the past 15 years or so.
My God, it really is 15 years and counting...
