Furious Vaginas: Naked Truth
http://www.furiousvaginas.com/2015/08/naked-truth.html
A discipline by Krissy Kneen. Saturday, August 1, 2015. I didn't. I have spent the year promoting two books and dieting fell by the wayside. The people who come to see me will see me as I am, unfit but healthy, pasty-white, gone to seed, fleshful. First time I’ve read a blog, first time I’ve posted a response. I feel the tingle of excitement of newness. There may be rules. Fortunately, I don’t know them. I can make them up. I hope good luck, great courage and much kindness are with you on the day. Thanks...

Furious Vaginas: May 2015
http://www.furiousvaginas.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
A discipline by Krissy Kneen. Tuesday, May 5, 2015. On radio last night I was asked if there was a stigma about writing erotic fiction. I gave an answer but I am very uncomfortable about it and need to think this through. My answer was yes. I said that there is a term that is used; women's erotica. I don't use the term because it is often used to single out more escapist works and books that focus on romantic eros. I am not really that interested in romance. I like my sex separated from romantic ...Affec...

Furious Vaginas: August 2014
http://www.furiousvaginas.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
A discipline by Krissy Kneen. Friday, August 29, 2014. Winning a prize. A speech. Ok so tonight I won the Thomas Shapcott Poetry Award. Very crazy. So happy. I was going to read this speech but I didn't. It is here instead. I said most of the bits anyway. This is the first award I have ever won for my writing. It is such a surprise. Such a wonderful surprise. When I was done I had something on paper, but I had no idea if it was any good. The only way to find out was to read more poetry. I discovered Ann ...

Furious Vaginas: Do books live in particular places?
http://www.furiousvaginas.com/2015/07/do-books-live-in-particular-places.html
A discipline by Krissy Kneen. Thursday, July 2, 2015. Do books live in particular places? I am trying to slowly refocus on my manuscript. It is a rough sketchy first draft of a thing. I finished it last year. It was hard to write and particularly unpleasant even as manuscripts go (and they are so often unpleasant). I wrote it down in Tasmania, in a poet's shack on the water in a place called Southport. The southernmost pub in Australia is in Southport. These are irrational thoughts, but maybe there is so...

Furious Vaginas: November 2014
http://www.furiousvaginas.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
A discipline by Krissy Kneen. Thursday, November 13, 2014. How poetry is different to prose. I sit myself at the table and I write. The Muse? I will have none of it. I am more interested in hard work than in inspiration. If I wait for the muse I will be waiting a lifetime. My grandmother is shaking her head, she of the workmanlike elbows and fists. You must grab it - and the fly plucked from the air. But my grandmother never wrote a poem. There is no grabbing a poem. It is more like photo...Somehow I hav...
