Tuesday, July 15, 2008. Bastille Day plus One. Just finished the first draft of the second book in the Seriously Sassy! Series for Puffin. And received the final editorial notes for book one. I'll start on them tomorrow, but tonight I'm taking a wee break. Hence this rather overdue posting. Over the last couple of months I've been on Hoy, one of the Orkney islands, which was idyllic, Dublin to see Ian's mum, London for the annual Puffin Party - brilliant! In a Paris Supermarket July 13th 1989. One franc ...

Magi Gibson: March 2008
http://magigibson.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 31, 2008. As a woman it has always bothered me, the notion of being the Muse. A bit like being the model for an artist or a sculptor, it requires a passivity I would find difficult. Anyway, when it comes down to it, the notion of a Muse as a real person is merely the projection of something the writer longs for onto the person - or Muse - of their choice. I very nearly didn't make it myself. Shrouded in leaves you lie. Beneath the sheltering trees. In a cradle of jagged shell. Wet and slipp...

Wednesday, January 28, 2009. THEY SHOOT POETS DON'T THEY? As I've said before, poetry is important for people. Why else do so many turn to it in times of distress?

Magi Gibson: February 2009
http://magigibson.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 27, 2009. They shoot poets, don't they? As I explained in a previous blog entry, The Herald - who over the years have liked to portray themselves as champions of poetry with their tiny daily poem squeezed in beside the obituaries - were happy to indulge in lax journalism on the appointment of a Makar for Stirling. To promote poetry throughout the area. But more mysterious to me - why all the negative spin from The Herald on the appointment of a Makar? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Tuesday, March 03, 2009. In 2007 Ian was awarded the Robert Louis Stevenson Fellowship. Part of the award was the chance to stay for a while and write in the beautiful Hotel Chevillon in Grez-sur-Loing in the Forest of Fontainebleau in France. Now an artists' retreat it was formerly a hotel. Stevenson himself spent time there, as did many famous artists and the playwright, Strindberg. At the Hotel Chevillon, Manuella, cloth in hand,. Cleans the rooms, disturbs the artists’ dreams. I did not leave. Its br...
