A CLARIFICATION NOTICE



long time back i was asked to write a piece about my writing process for a university webpage*

it included the statement 'i write poetry waking up'

it has occurred to me this needs clarifying -

i dont literally wake up spouting worthy posey, that sounds pretentious or a medical issue

no thats not what i meant

i meant that to get writing done, i often go straight to the desk with coffee number one & start writing, start looking at phone notes & notebook scribbles & out the window & on the mind-shelves & while i am doing this i wake up

to summarise -

i WAKE UP while working on writing poetry
i dont wake up WRITING poetry

i hope this has settled the issue
