For some years, I have carried a notebook and scribbled anything and everything. Observations, thoughts, ideas, notes-to-self, etc amount to a lot of rubbish but also some golden nuggets.
A casual hobby of sorts is recording snatches of conversations that I have been able to use when writing poems or stories. I must have a couple of hundred eavesdrops in that notebook and recently I decided to write a series of poems under the title An Eavesdropper Walks the Streets. I have a dozen or so in the sequence so far and I am delighted to say that three pieces have been accepted by an editor for a December 2019 issue.
These notes are a godsend if writer's block kicks in. A quick scan through the pages and 'bingo!' - an idea emerges.
So more on this and other stuff in due course.
