One of my friends was talking about how writing was just part of who they were and about how other parts of their life were just as important, but I think for me writing is the lynch pin of who I am. If I don't write I can't balance my life, if I don't balance my life, I cant write. Writing is a way of transforming, understanding my life and my experiences. But If I don't let myself have those experiences I have nothing to write about.

To let writing matter, to make writing matter, to give writing the place in my life I think it deserves I would have to change and rearrange a lot of things about the way I live.

I would: stop ingesting the amount of caffeine I do because that blocks me, but have the occasional cup of delicious real coffee, go outside more, listen to the radio more, watch good quality tv, spend less time on the internet but make the time I do spend of better quality, read more, go swimming, make collages, make soap and candles, do more cooking, listen to more music.

And make space and time to write in without feeling guilty

You are
a left behind nation
with nothing left to sell
nowhere left to ply your craft
Thatchers children's children
Thatchers grandchildren
spoiled then shocked
watch the concrete split beneath your feet
watch the community center crumble down
freeze in the wintertime
not affording fuel for the fire
for the rage
