I think creativity is a great form of therapy. My outlets are mainly improv and private poetry (not so private anymore).
I’ve always wanted to learn how to draw. Not for any particular reason. Stories are told through all kinds of medium, words, pictures, music and I wanted another mode to express myself with.
I’m very much at the beginning of this journey. I bought a bunch of arty crafty things over lock down and they have gathered a bit of dust so I’ve gotten them out.
I have a few books on learning to draw but I’m not sure if I should just join a class?

So there’s my first efforts 🙂 I’ll update this much like the Poetry.
Who knows where this will go, if anywhere at all.
This is now just going to be the blog of a 48 year old GenX cishet fella from the North of Ireland/Northern Ireland/Ulster (I don’t care). I’l l keep the waving my fists at clouds to a bare minimum. There’ll be poems and playing cards, opinions and all sorts. Some of it will be an attempt to begin a conversation. I’m tolerant of opposing values and opinions to a point. I simply won’t countenance thoughtlessness, abuse, hate or edge lord trolling nonsense.
I am extending this little corner of t'internet to include other hobbies, passtimes etc. Mediocre poetry, opinionated essays and dreadful watercolours coming your way.
