Be.COMing a dot com

OOOOH! There’s posh!

I invested a few more euros that I don’t have, and had myself dot.commed.

My website is now karenjmcdonnell.com

Apart from that, the song remains the same – as Led Zeppelin might have said.  There’s a new post up today on my Writer’s Blog: the second one about writers’ retreats.

My writing continues apace. I’ve been re-drafting since the summer trips to Annaghmakerrig and the John Hewitt Intl. Summer School, and I’ve been submitting work. We will pass speedily over the competitions I’ve entered!

My little compadre keeps me company as I slave over a hot PC.

I think this year has been about development, and stepping up to the poetic block. And that’s no bad thing.

Keep on truckin’, bad hombres and nasty women!

Slam Dunk! Poetry!

Am heading to this tomorrow evening. It promises to be a rare night!                                      There may be some tickets left at the door, so do come along. Just make sure to bring rain gear and a torch. It’s dark on that country road as you move from the car park to the welcoming lights of the cottage and the tower. Let’s stir up a few of Yeats’s and George’s spirit pals, shall we?

May the best poetry slammer win!
