So... I've been trying to avoid starting a blog, but as a creative writing student who generally avoids all kinds of writing I figured I need to do something to sort my life out. Which brings me here.
I plan to use this place to share my poetry with the world, because, let's face it, nobody else is going to publish it! However I may very well fill it with other bits of writing, or more likely general ranting about how my life sucks and I hate the world... The last vestige of teen angst leaving my body. The most likely outcome is that I'll go months without writing anything at all, but at least i've warned you!
Before we go any further let me tell you a bit about myself;
My name is Ellie, or Eleanor, but to be honest I'd probably answer to "Oi You".
In my very early 20s, so I guess I lack life experience but I have learned to wash and feed myself over the years.
I'm short, which I know is not generally important information in a blog but at least if you know now it will save me from the "wow you're short" comment if you ever happen to meet me.
I am currently studying Drama and Creative Writing at Bath Spa University, specialising but not exclusively in American Acting and Performance Poetry. Therefore a lot of the stuff on here will be intended to be read aloud, so why not give it a go?
That's all the (almost) relevant information I can think of at the moment, anything else you can learn along the way!
If you are wondering, the title of the Blog comes from my favourite poem by Spike Milligan;
Love Song
If I could write words
Like leaves on an Autumn Forest floor
What a bonfire my letters would make.
If I could speak words of water
You would drown when I said
‘I love you’.
So there we have it, welcome to my Blog.
It was nice to meet you, come back soon!
