Apologies for the lack of blog updates over the past couple of weeks. I have been wrapped up in the excitement of the Olympics. I am eagerly awaiting the Paralympics now, which for me are as important, if not more so, than the Olympics. In terms of my own "sport" if I were paralysed, I would never have the strength of mind to have written "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly". Those who have faith in the power of their bodies and minds inspire me.
If you have read any of my twitter posts, you will know that I write micropoetry, and in particular haiku. I have decided, after a prompt from one of my twitter friends, to collect my favourite haiku from the past year and publish them. Not that I have set aside my novel writing, I am still hard at work - if you can call the joy of writing that (yes, it is hard work sometimes) - on the new book too.
I will, of course, update you with where and when you can get a copy of the haiku book - working title "five seven five".
