I didn’t think I was going to do this – a bit late in the day for me to start. But as you can see (if you’ve been here before) I spent this morning sorting out a few changes to this blog. It’s part of a process – long overdue – of attempting to overhaul my online presence in general, including buying a new domain name (lindarushby.com), sorting out what’s worth keeping and what needs doing to it, and transferring it all to new and hopefully more cost effective hosting – quite a challenge after over twelve years in one place, and I’ve got about three months left to get it done before letting go of the old damson-tree.co.uk stuff. Which is a bit over-optimistic given that I’ve also sort-of committed myself to finishing The Long Way Back by the end of the year. We shall see.

But last week I wrote a new poem, in response to one I found printed on an A4 sheet among some other stuff. I don’t know where it came from, I can’t remember the name of the writer, and I Googled what I thought was the title this morning without finding anything relevant, but I expect at some point I’ll find that A4 sheet again and be able to give credit where credit is due.

In the mean time, I now have two poems to offer for this year’s NaPoWriMo.
