Not a single inch of a poem have I been able to write whilst sitting here thinking about what not to write. This is the best that I cannot do.

Silly-Savvy Diary – Me-Time in Prado
Prado Lounge, Sudbury. Great place for some me-time. Me-time much needed after a hectic Christmas and New Year. Two weeks of non-stop sorting, cleaning and recycling to clear away the debris from the previous Christmas (yes, I did find a bauble from last year’s tree still under the settee!), before the guests arrive (returning prodigalContinue reading “Silly-Savvy Diary – Me-Time in Prado”
Silly Politics – Boris’ Eggy Feet
Do I really want to go forward with 2020, when I’ve just had the most bizarre carrot on a stick dangled in front of my senses? Who, in the UK, or for that matter, the rest of the world, be it of American or European ilk, would want to egg old Boris on, as heContinue reading “Silly Politics – Boris’ Eggy Feet”
Silly Poem – Boxing Day Finale
Inspired by the thrill of seeing out Boxing Day with the weather forecast, followed up by Phillip Schofield doing strange things with a goat. Gloomy, misty and murky out there. But, if I stay in, any spin can win the free delivery of someone like you. Someone like you on a £299Continue reading “Silly Poem – Boxing Day Finale”
So Not Savvy Poem – Stuck
Stuck, tucked in, and cornered, by tree, Prosecco and book. Stuck, booked-in, and staying. Copyright owned by Jay Cool, 26th December 2019 Silly Style – Christmas with Kate & Stacey Silly Boris Romps to Power Silly Writing Tip – How to be an Anomalous Vitruvian …
Silly Writing Tip – How to be an Anomalous Vitruvian …
What to do whilst waiting for middle sprog to emerge from the bathroom (hour and a half so far)? Read a sample of one’s flood of emails (so many publishers begging for my transcript), and make the mistake of reading the one from Curtis Brown Creatives. The email links to a number of posts withContinue reading “Silly Writing Tip – How to be an Anomalous Vitruvian …”
Savvy Book – The Doll House
The Doll House, by Phoebe Morgan. Picked this book up at Lavenham Literary Festival, after attending a session about How To Get Published by the author. It’s not my usual genre – I tend to prefer literary fiction to popular thrillers. But, following on from the read, I have now eliminated the snob from within. Sure, The DollContinue reading “Savvy Book – The Doll House”
Savvy Story – Boy On The Train
Boy On The Train In Meltdown He gets on the wrong train. Realising his error, he thinks he ought to get off at the next stop, but he wonders what would happen if he stayed on for the ride. Where might the train take him? Besides which, he’s enjoying the buzz, the excitement, the rhythmContinue reading “Savvy Story – Boy On The Train”
Silly Adventure – Lavenham Guildhall
I stop by at Lavenham to attend a session at the Village Hall, by author Phoebe Morgan, about How to Get Published. And after making a numpty of myself, jumping on the Phoebe bandwagon by handing out my own business cards to her audience, I sprint on out into the wilds of the village. MyContinue reading “Silly Adventure – Lavenham Guildhall”
Silly Poem – Transformation
On top form, she feels transported out of her formative years. Transported into a world, in which she is transformed into the form of her own muse. She is her own fairy godmother, her own fully-formed creation.
