What’s Gone Down … What’s Coming Up
What’s Gone Down …
On Monday I posted about finally finishing Part 3, which is one of the two really big (of four—although I’m thinking of re-jigging the order so four may become five) sections of The Wall of Night Book Two, aka as (working title) The Gathering of the Lost.
And yesterday was the long-awaited Tuesday Poem Blog Christmas Exchange, where I got to feature fellow poet Helen Rickerby’s Burning with Joan of Arc, while Helen featured my poem, Christmastide on her Winged Ink blog.
Other stuff that’s been happening lately includes the end of the radio station year (that’s Plains 96.9FM), so no more interviews or podcasting for me until February. But there’s still some great recent book—and other—interviews from Women on Air that you can listen to on podcast, here, over the break.
And last Thursday, you may recall, I was performing as part of Mer Made, a combination music and poetry-in-performance event at Beat St Cafe. It was a fun evening, the joint was jumping–and I forgot to take photos for you! So you’ll just have to take my word for it, but next time … 😉

What’s Coming Up …
Well, just to prove that I’ve obviously been very wicked in some past life if not this one, it’s straight into the fourth and final part of Gathering for me, but as I also said on Monday I am hoping that will be very much an epilogue and therefore a short and smooth write. Fingers crossed!
And of course there’s Christmas and New Year’s Eves and Days, which I do plan to have off, because it’s my personal view that if there are only two days in the year able to be dedicated to spending time with friends and loved ones, these are those two days. So that’s exactly what I’ll be doing.
But because it’s “hot as” here in Christchurch at present I have scotched the idea of a Christmas Day roast and will be doing something quick on the grill, with something “chilled” in nature for dessert—and possibly to quaff as well. 🙂
The other thing I’ll be doing over the break, right here on ” … Anything, Really”, is bringing you a selection of poetry and prose by myself and others that somehow speaks to me of the season. This is my gift to you as followers of my blog and I hope you will enjoy.
