I did not feel in a recording mood today, for mental health reasons, and so I’ll present today just the poem, and when I am back to recording (which is now scheduled in Patreon for tomorrow) the audio will magically appear. Until then, here’s the reason why I didn’t record audio this morning, and there needed to be a day off.
As promised, there are some new graphics and I’ll make a batch of new ones for the next few days so as we do this thing, there is at least some change in the wallpaper. This poem was prompted by the following tweet yesterday:
It’s a good thing I’m only competent in two spheres or this could have been an epic poem…
Okay, change in organizational plan this morning, and I’ll sort out some better graphics starting next week. For now, we’ll use the same one, and then I can come back and swap new ones in… already have an idea, which is lovely. I worry the days when there isn’t a new idea, that’s always the sign it’s time to take a break. Right, here’s how this now works:
I write the poem, then I record the verse, and then both are uploaded. I then do the Tweet, with a link to the audio, and reproduce the audio here:
I added some extra context onto the poem today. That will probably take place more going forward.
This is becoming a really useful exercise.
Good morning and welcome back to what will (hopefully) be a five day weekly posting cycle for me on the site. We’re going to restart content by introducing something I started last week on Twitter: the #Instaverse is my daily warm-up, a means by which my brain checks whether we’re capable of literally stringing sentences together to start the day. There will undoubtedly be those moments when I take a break from this, but right now that’s already weekends so hopefully, this becomes part of my ‘work’ remit, Monday to Friday.
I already know how important it is to establish a routine to maintain my mental wellbeing. This is already an extension of that.
The development this morning will be that I recorded an MP3 of this, with a short explanation. As time goes on, these will probably become larger. As WordPress is pushing me to use audio on my site, let’s give it a go.
All the poems will be published in a newsletter at the weekend, and I’ll sort out a page for all the audio in the next few days.
If you enjoy this, please let me know.
