FINISHED!!!

[dweomeroflight]

So I've finally finished my first year of uni... this feels weird : / But at least I can now get back to my story...

I'm kicking myself because I've finished reading Feeling Sorry for Celia and Finding Cassie Crazy by Jaclyn Moriarty, nearlly killing myself with laughter at how great (and funny) they are, and now I don't have the next two books... tomorrow I'm going to the bookstore...

However, I did manage to use up the last of my scholarship money to buy me the last Dorothy Porter verse novel murder mystery she wrote before she sadly passed away at the beginning of this year :(

I'm excited! That woman is amazing at poetry writing, just go read The Monkey's Mask.

Here's an example from pg 3 of Monkey's Mask:

Trouble

'Jill'
I challange the mirror
'how much guts have you got?'

and further down the page

'I've got no head for heights,
but plenty of stomach
for trouble.'

trouble
deep other-folks trouble
to spark my engine
and pay my mortgage

seriously if I could ever write poetry half as well as this lady did, I'd be one happy girl!

Random side note: It's kind of ironic that the protagonist of Monkey's Mask is called Jill, and in the book she acts like Deverry Jill, but in a more modern, detective sort of way... oh and a lesbian way. I like Porter's Jill, I wish she was real :(
