A quiet Sunday afternoon

Spending the afternoon in the library, hoping to generate some ideas for poems and a first line or two for the blank book. First, though, i think I need to write a bit of a foreword for the book and some loose rules as to what sort of content we’re looking for. Obviously we want people to write whatever they want but i guess we have to be careful people aren’t going to just take it out and scribble all over it or worse. I’m thinking I’ll begin a poem or a story based around the library and the surrounding area and see if people can then take it on and map ‘their’ Thornaby.

On Tuesday i’ll be back in here doing a reading and a bit of a workshop so hopefully, once i have the first few lines done, there will be someone willing to pick up the baton and carry the poem on.

Fairly quiet in here today, not a lot of people reading really either. Mainly people using the computers to look at facebook and stuff. I’m now going to find a corner and do some scribbling…..
