Thank you @sunravelme. Inclusion in this and various other curations along with your support over the last few months on steemit has really boosted my confidence in my poetry to a point where I can breath again. I can perform at open mics + I am editing a collection to try for publication. This belief is in no small part due to steemit and the wonderful community of talented writers I have met on here :-)

You deserve every bit of success- you are super talented and I am so glad to have gotten to know you! Pllllllllllleaaaase record your open mic and post it to steemit, or at the very least dm me a copy! I'd love to see it <3
Ha ha. The open mic thing is onnnnnn. Not sure when yet, but it will happen. I have already spoken to my friend Poet-Paul who is an established performance poet here in Liverpool. He is a friend from University who has been consistently performing since 2007 when I finished my Imaginative Writing degree. He never got the dreaded writers block which I suffered. I have 3 performance pieces that are nearly ready, one of which I work-shopped with @geke a while back in the writers' block. They are quite edgy and not my usual style but I have performed my usual poetry many times and, although I am proud of it, and happy to perform it, I have always wanted to master that rhythmic, clever, sometimes funny, performance poetry style. Anyway, me and Paul have promised to record each others readings + I have just got a little Go-Pro style camera with stand for Christmas so I'm going to get it done and hit up Dtube + Youtube with my first ever poetry night recording. I'll let you know before they drop 🙂
