Hi, I’m Jill, a writer and teacher living in the UK, usually behind a desk but sometimes on a sofa with a book or a film. I began writing at around age three, legibly by five, although I didn’t write any stories until I was older. Aged eleven, I began writing children’s fiction, mostly middle-grade fantasy and I’m still doing it to this day. I have had stories published online and in My Weekly magazine. The best bit about writing is when ideas pop into your head (from the writing fairy presumably?) and everything starts clipping together like a jigsaw puzzle. The worst bit? When you start to get the feeling there's a piece missing from the box...

That is so kind of you, Ajay! I have just been nominated for a second sunshine award this week from PigLove so today, this whole week, has been incredibly special for me! Thank-you so much for thinking of me, my friend! xxx
I have this idea at the back of my mind that I want to post about all those things that I’ve discovered for myself in recent years. I first discovered poetry properly (and E.E. Cummings specifically) when I returned to learning as a mature student. One of my teachers had a real love of Mr Cummings’s work and so, through my teacher’s appreciation, I learned to appreciate! I suppose in some ways I’m using this blog as a record of what I’m learning 🙂 and of course I’m learning new stuff through the blogosphere. The underwater statues I posted on recently I learned about through Hauntedshoreline for example.
I’m so glad you’re enjoying it all anyway!
I used to be a structured student and this is the second time in a week I have been reminded of how much I enjoyed that role. By reading and being curious enough to follow links I hope I can reclaim that label.
Our wonderful planet is one big school. There’s a lot to learn in the school of life, and having an open mind and heart to receive it is our greatest achievement 🙂 I hope you have a lot of fun along the way, Paula! xx
