Good morning and a happy weekend to all of my dear readers,
I just wanted to let you know that I am currently working on not one, not two, but three new poetry collections!
- One will be a chapbook of lyrical love poetry so unashamedly romantic that I’m not sure any publisher will touch it, but I may try to get it published by a small press. If you know of any small presses publishing this type of poetry, I’d love to hear about them!
- One will be a highly personal collection of poems which I plan to publish on my fortieth birthday (in February next year.)
- The final collection will comprise the best of my eco-poetry. I am going to enter this manuscript in a competition, as I believe it is a strong collection.
Stay tuned for further updates! As you can see, I am pretty busy, as I’m also working on final edits of my first novel. This is the hardest task at the moment: the poetry manuscripts are nearly done! I can’t wait to share this work with you, as many people have asked me in the past when I will be publishing my first solo collection. So now you know: February next year, if not before…
And now for a reminder, to anyone striving to see their work in print, or turn writing into a full-time profession:
My my my, chomping at the bit…Well done you!
Thank you: I am a workaholic 😅
And you must get some inspiration too?
Oh yes, plenty!
I bless all your endeavors. 👏
Thank you Selma ❤️
Oh wow .. you have certainly set yourself some work Ingrid, but from what you have explained, I’m sure, all your talents will stand you in good stead throughout your projects …. BUT remember to give yourself plenty of respite and rest … At the moment I seem to be too busy whizzing around the moon to help you out with some coffee and cake stop-overs …
Cheers, and the best of luck … 🤗🌚🌞☕🍰
Thank you, Ivor, I have just been enjoying tea and cake 🍰 ☕️ 🫖 see you on the other side of the moon! 🌝😅🌙

Thank you!
Oh, good for you, Ingrid! I’ve been trying to get some collections together, but I’m not nearly as organized.
I would love to read a collection of yours 😊
Awww–that is so kind!😍
😂 Blimey! Come on girl, pull your finger out instead of idling away the day!
I know, I’m such a loafer…

Three is challenging, for me at least. I also have three and work on two of them in small spurts along side my main collection. I wish you good luck on each of them.
Thank you so much. These are all short collections! Best of luck with yours also 😊
Thank you..
All the best Ingrid, eager to read your work 💫😊

It’s a juggling act 😅 but since I’ve done one, I think the subsequent ones will be easier (I hope!)
