Well, I happened to glance at this blog. I don't seem to have updated it much lately, and I still don't feel much like updating it - but, further to my last post, I felt that I would like to mention that I am reading novels again. I am into Daphne du Maurier, at the moment. Having re-read "Rebecca" and "Jamaica Inn", I am currently enjoying "Frenchman's Creek" - although occasionally, in recent days, I have struggled to keep going with it, and maintain my concentration. But I will persist! Then, I'm going to re-read "My Cousin Rachel", hopefully...I've written poems based on "Rebecca", "Jamaica Inn" and "Frenchman's Creek", too. They are on my Tripod site and poetry blog.
Last year, I wrote various personal posts on this blog. I don't feel like adding anything along those lines right now. Maybe I should concentrate on literature related posts, in the future - although I will probably do the opposite now, as I always seem to like contradicting myself, and taking a different direction from the one that I had intended.

Finally - another post on this blog!
So here I am again, having neglected this blog for so long. I have just read my last posts, and felt that it was time to attempt another: my first of 2013.
Well, 2012 was hard for me. Very hard. On so many levels.
I continue to struggle with various physical and mental health issues.
However, I would like to say that I have now read another novel, as well as some non-fiction and, as ever, poetry. It was a book called "Ingrid and the Wolf", which a friend gave me ages ago - aimed at children really, but a great read - and so the "nothing since 'The Bell Jar'" cycle has finally been broken! I am also reading some non-fiction, and of course - poetry!
I did manage to produce three collections of my poetry last year. For more details about these, please see my other blog, which I set up to give details of any new writing projects.
I find that it is not easy to be as emotionally open in this blog post, as I was in many of last year's posts - but I felt that I had to start somewhere. I hope that I will "get into" blogging again, as it has helped me in the past.
Love and peace. xxx
