Lady Vervaine
Over, And Out
Polaroid SX70. Polaroid ATZ.
And so, after a final 48 hour burst that involved 2 hours of sleep in total, I finally finished the draft of the new book on Monday morning! Then I collapsed for a week, and haven't had the strength to post anything until now ;))
It's not the final draft, but it's getting pretty good, I think... So I'd just like to take a moment to thank not only those of you who were kind enough to send me messages of support, but all of you fabulous Flickrfolk. I started the first draft of this book at almost exactly the same time I started Flickring: three and a half years ago. My adventures here have been a massive work-displacement time-sink, but they've also been a window onto a wider world that has helped keep me sane. So a very heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you!
One last thing. This link will not take you to anything I've written, but it will take you to the single most inspiring thing I've read in all that time. It's a book of poems that is brilliant, funny, sexy and wise, and if you've enjoyed any of the words or pictures I've posted here, then I urge you to buy it, either direct from the publishers, or from Amazon, or from anywhere else you like, just as long as you buy it! It costs less than £10 or $15, and you'll not only be bringing a beautiful thing into your life; you'll also be supporting the good guys. Small press poetry publishing is a fine-margins business at the best of times, but in today's economic climate, every sale really can make the difference between life and death.
