Ana Salote's blog: Colouring outside the Lines. Sunday, 5 October 2014. Mike Scott. I just love him. Sitting behind the book-signing desk in the festival tent: black hat, musical mist about him, song even in the lilts of his speaking voice, minstrel to his bones. Shook the hand that strums. He wrote on my book. I've now begun book 3 of the Waifs trilogy. I've called the book 'The Stolen Child'. It's informed by Yeats' poetry and Mike's music. My hope is that, for the space of a sentence or tw...I love al...

Ana Salote's blog: Colouring outside the Lines. Monday, 29 September 2014. It's said in some circles that the next stage of human evolution is accelerating. The ego is a construct, a suffering manufactory that can be dropped. There's a contagion of waking up. Illuminated dominoes. I forgot the house number. Mostly there are clues through the windows: rainbows, chimes, crystals. I push the door. Incense. People are seated; they look long and unseeing at the carpet, quick and seeing at each...She arrives s...

Ana Salote's blog: Colouring outside the Lines. Wednesday, 14 January 2015. Creativity v Domesticity: you won't find an orchid in a roller-striped lawn. Families, like fairy tale bears, have their habitual seats. Mine is at one end of a 1930s sofa. Nicotine-yellowed, it soaked up the smoke that my grandma’s lungs did not. This sofa is actually my desk. One end is confettied with notes and stuff. In the surrounding room o. Bjects are not privileged or displayed, they are beached: o. Organic and organised ...

Ana Salote's blog: Colouring outside the Lines. Sunday, 22 March 2015. Don't dot shop - flash theatre in the High Street. The monologue is a great form for immediate intimacy. It is like opening a door in the forehead of a stranger and peering in. There is confiding, vulnerability and revelation. It is an encouragement to wider empathy and greater attention to others in life as well as art. For more about the fabulous Show of Strength Theatre. Show of strength theatre.

Sophie's Writing Adventures: June 2015

Tuesday, 16 June 2015. Places to go, places to see: who wants to go travelling? I've been to Fowey a couple of times this year, and I will never tire of it. It's my favourite place. And I can't wait to head back to Edinburgh this summer. I'm in love with places I've never been and people I've never met". But I think the beginning of the summer makes me even more dreamy. It's meant to be beautiful! Again with the cold thing, but it looks so pretty! 4 Denmark - Copenhagen. For obvious literary reasons.
