Reflections
Inspired by Fiona & Kaspa's River of Stones in January, I am going to try and write something for my blog every day. Although I may not be able to post every day, I plan to keep a record of everything I write and post when I can.
So for the month of February I am going to record my reflections...

Why I should be published
I am not a celebrity. I am not famous. I am not infamous. But, I am a writer and my writing has merit. This alone should qualify me to read by agents and publishers.
So, why don't they?
I write from my heart. I attempt different styles in order to appeal to a wide audience. I write what I would like to read, being unable to find it on the bookshop shelves.
I research carefully and plan out each novel in advance. I don't restrict myself to my plan, but let inspiration take me where it will. I draft and redraft carefully so that my work is the best.
And still, the agents and publishers won't even bother to read me.
My work is excellent. I will not stop my search for an agent/publisher. Somewhere, out there, there is someone who will recognise the quality of my writing and take a risk on me. I'm worth it! My writing is different. My writing is eminently sellable.
Choose me!

a river of stones - 11
coldness creeps around
skin and settles in my bones
cruel, prolonged winter

a river of stones - 10
white exhalation
drifts and disappears in the
coolness of morning

a river of stones - 9
thin circular ice
floats on cold water, denies
the robin his bath

a river of stones - 8
black trees on the hill-
top, letting morning light through
their thin, bare branches

a river of stones - 7
silent star shines in
blue-black sky, cloud creeps slowly
extinguishing light

a river of stones - 6
silver halo in
the sky as sun pierces cloud
refracted light glows

a river of stones - 5
reaching upwards towards pale
white sunlight and grey
clouds – motionless, bare branches
