Kate Keogan ✒

Ink-thirsty bibliophile and marginal scribbler. Sometimes puts her book down for long enough to get on with her own writing (poetry, short stories, flash).

I'm not posting on Twitter currently: if you're interested to see what I'm getting up to these days, check out my Instagram (@ kathedron , same as here.)

"Less packaging, more smiles" ?! Errrm....

@evernotehelps Ugh, since the update Evernote (on my Android tablet) has been soooo slow as to be almost unusable. Worse, yesterday I lost a tonne of work when it only saved a paragraph or so of each note but I didn't realise until I went back to them later. What's going on? ☹️

New blog post: "Discernment and the Absence of Dinosaurs". Why I'm not going to Swanwick Writers' Summer School this year, and what I'm doing instead.

Poets who have published a book or more — what was thorny or unexpected in getting a publisher? What do you wish you’d known beforehand? If you could do your debut again, would you do anything differently? How could that process be usefully demystified for poets starting out?

Remember when I used to write a fortnightly blog post?

[Kate Keogan ✒ @kathedron]

New(ish, 'cause I've been hiding from social media again) blogpost:
"What's Hecuba to me?" about the Fall of Troy, and befriending one of the pears in my fruit bowl.
And, no, that is not some kind of euphemism (nor even a metaphor).

Look what I found whilst browsing in @Waterstones in Bath! I have a poem in the yellow one: it's the "Places of Poetry" anthology from @OneworldNews

If I come back next year, I want a badge exempting me from enforced social interaction, particularly the demand to "find a partner" or "get into groups". That's not how my mind works. @swanwickwriters

[Kate Keogan ✒ @kathedron]

Kate "can't do dialogue" Keogan didn't expect to be attending a scriptwriting class this afternoon, but that's what happened.

[The Writers' Summer School @swanwickwriters]

...in addition to memoir, writing believable LGBT+ characters, and even more scriptwriting (plays this time).

What I really want now is a Roy Mcfarlane podcast: ten minutes every morning would see me right.
