New Blog Layout

Well I have just spent the best part of the day revamping my blog, my poetry can now be found on the page labelled 'Poetry' (clever eh?)
I wanted the blog to be more of a journal of my writing process and have more information about what I'm actually doing with myself, rather than just a few poems shoved on the internet.

I've had a good few weeks, I graduated from Liverpool John Moores University on the 14th July, and met the legend that is Brian May (see pic). On Thursday I appeared in local newspaper The Craven Herald and Pioneer, and I also got an unexpected shout out on Rossendale Radio promoting this blog. Cheers Jem!

Hellifield Writer's Group have asked me to run a regular session every so often, where members will learn various creative writing techniques, use fun excercises to help when starting from a blank page, and have the chance to share and discuss their own work. If you are from the area and are interested in joining a writing group, email me on vickypinner@gmail.com.
I have been working on a new poem, set in Japan in preperation for an open mic performance at Mello Mello in Liverpool on Wednesday evening. I'm not sure if it will be ready in time, but if not I will be reading one of my other pieces.
