Writer in Residence: #SELFIES in Central Australia It included some love songs, some spoken word and even a cover in honour of Dead on TV. It included tribute to my friend Stella (my first ever dance track) and one to my colleague Kat. It included some old songs and some new ones. Song-a-month projectįollowing on from my Push Songs mentorship in 2014, I challenged myself to keep up my songwriting by recording a song a month throughout 2015.Īnd although I found it terrifying (in the way the poem-a-day hasn’t been for a while) and I was sometimes a little behind my monthly schedule, I made it to the end of the year with 12 original recordings done and shared with the world. And I was chuffed to pass the milestone that now sees more than 5,000 people reading my poems every day. That means I now have a very large body of very small work. The constant undercurrent to my creative practice, in 2015 I celebrated the sixth anniversary of tweeting a poem a day. So in looking back on 2015, it’s good to remind myself that I actually got quite a lot done.Īnd for someone who’s much better at starting things than finishing them, it’s nice to be kicking off a new year with not one by three writing projects finally tidied away.
