I googled this just now because I know that Bristol has poetry slams and I am a have-a-go heroine. It was last week. To fit with National Poetry Day. I am up for it next year. 2014 bring it on!

Not only poetry, but a whole literary fest. I should be at the Halo Bar tonight for Bristol Acoustic Night's (just get that plug in again - Bristol Acoustic Night 7.30 every other Monday) instant anthology night in support of the literary festival. Oh, I wish I'd gone now! But so soon after one of the most dreadful days I have had in this shitty job.... I should still have gone.

Bristol Acoustic Night. Halo Bar, Gloucester Road, every other Monday. Google it! Google it now! Even if you live in Papua New Guinea. You never know when you might pass this way on a Monday evening in search of the most eclectic and wonderful poetry, music and generally off-the-wall performances known to man (or woman).

Be there, dude.

Oh, I wish I'd gone.

Does this constitute spam?

I want to get to know Bristol better. It's completely different from anywhere else in the Southwest! I could make it for November 18 and I would stop over in the YHA that evening.

I went to a new writing group in Exmouth tonight. I knew one woman from another writing group in Exmouth, which is nice but which meets every 3rd Wednesday afternoon and I have not been able to fit it in since April. This lot are nice too and meet monthly so I plan to go to both groups when I can. Abctales is good and meeting other friendly writers face to face is even better.

We also dreamed up a good writing topic for next time. We write in our opposite gender and about a person whose behaviour is atypical for their gender. So I will be doing a piece on 'an unmanly man' and for the man in our group the topic will be 'an unwomanly woman'
