Hi @Bunniekins @Zoe7 @Appleblossom @Adge @outlander @Faith-and-Hope @Exoplanet @CheerBear @Shaz51 @Teej hope today is going well for you all so far. Cold night here last night too - the coldest yet this year I think. Very cool but sunny now - lovely.
So all of yesterday's chores remain undone! Spent hours researching and reading works by the woman taking the Writing Trauma workshop I'm doing this Friday. Looking forward to it even more now. Meera Atkinson, whose recent work is called Traumata. So far I've only seen exerpts but it seems really on point and talks quite a bit about how memory is affected by compound trauma - one of my big challenges. Also focuses on transgenerational transmission of trauma so might be of interest to some here. Please tag anyone you know might be interested.

Also spent a couple of hours going thru' all my writing and choosing a couple of pieces to maybe read at the writers centre open mike reading session on Tuesday night. Really hard to see most of it as engaging for others when so much of it is cathartic memoir and very personal. Also saw a lot of it has a lot of potential to be re-written and isn't something I'd present in its current form. Works in progress and not enough time between now and then to do it.
Going soon to do my over-due bridge homework and possibly have a practice with sil's mum this afternoon. I missed the last class so it's been 2 weeks since I looked at it.
Have a good one everyone xx
