I will still use this account, and it is connected to my Facebook profile page. The additional Twitter page will not be connected to Facebook, and will focus on personal writing updates, writing advice, and general inspirational quotes.

I haven't exactly been active on here, for some time. <br /><br />At some point, I will be publishing a new poetry collection - mainly poems from 2013 to 2015. I am not currently writing poems, but am working - not as consistently as I would like, largely due to my health issues - on a novel. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I am hoping to start posting on a new blog that I have started, for writing-related posts. The focus will be slightly different to this blog, and I tend to prefer a fresh start, rather than trying to drastically alter an existing blog</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">. There are no posts on the <a href="http://www.paulathewriter.blogspot.co.uk/">new blog</a> yet, but I will post links, as and when, on this blog, and via social media. </span><br />

I had somehow managed to order it in A4 format - but Colin and I both loved it, and could see definite advantages to the larger print size, and the fact that my photographic art work was also displayed to good effect, in this format. However, I do still want to produce an A5 book, like my other Lulu collections, which will sit comfortably upon bookshelves, and have the "feel" of a traditional poetry book. Because of the set-up on Lulu, I can only make the book available in both format, to my knowledge, by uploading it twice - which I am now intending to do. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">There are also a couple of minor alterations which I may need to make to the content of this collection.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Due to the factors just described, it will take slightly longer than I had hoped and anticipated, to make the book available. I will announce on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and this blog, when the book is published.</span>Paula Puddephatthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08237081056468038374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8110964297057542552.post-66230969716987508282013-02-26T02:25:00.000-08:002013-02-26T02:25:29.064-08:00On sale<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">My poetry book, </span><a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/paula-puddephatt/spiritual-peace/paperback/product-20440649.html"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">"Spiritual Peace"</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"> (paperback format), is currently available at a 15% discount - price £3.40, plus £2.99 postage and packing (postage works out cheaper when ordering multiple books).</span><br />

If all is well, it can then be made "public", and will be available to purchase, along with my other poetry collections, "Inside My Mind" and "Spiritual Peace", both of which can be bought through the </span><a href="http://www.lulu.com/"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Lulu website</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">The cover image for my latest book, "Dreams and Illusions", was a computer generated image, of my own creation. In fact, the poem "Dreams and Illusions", from which the book's title was taken, was actually inspired by the image, to which I gave the title of "Dreams and Illusions" when posting on Tumblr and Flickr.</span>Paula Puddephatthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08237081056468038374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8110964297057542552.post-27879895558842790092012-10-22T02:07:00.001-07:002012-10-22T02:07:04.043-07:00Another poetry collection!<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I am making progress with my latest Lulu poetry collection.</span><br />

It's the whole "who/whom" issue, that has me confused. I've checked the poem on two online software packages, and it "passes" on both - <em>either way</em> - the "who" or "whom" version. Not <em>entirely</em> helpful, then...??? I suspect that I need to alter it to "whom" but, if I'm wrong, a misplaced "whom" is much worse, somehow, than an incorrect "who". (Not sure how I work that one out, as surely accuracy is all-important, and no mistakes are really acceptable!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Anyway, I've found a very useful grammar-related website</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">, and the corresponding Facebook page, and asked for some advice. Oh, and apparently The Rolling Stones should have been singing: "Whom Do You Love?" So now you know! At least it's not just me, I guess.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">"The spirits of those who/whom we've loved remain." (from "Spiritual Peace") And, incidentally, I don't care if it's a "complex sentence", which fact was pointed out by one of the grammar correction packages. It's a line from a sonnet, and I am <em>so </em>not rewriting the whole thing.</span>Paula Puddephatthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08237081056468038374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8110964297057542552.post-70754552845481723542012-10-09T22:16:00.000-07:002012-10-09T22:20:26.961-07:00My latest poetry collection<span lang=""><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I have provisionally finished the print book version of "Spiritual Peace". It is currently set to "private access", but has technically been published, and my own copy is in the post, so hopefully, the book will be available soon. The eBook version is "out there" already, price £1.50 - but this has a "standard cover". The print book cover features images by my husband, which I have selected and arranged on the page, using Lulu's software. I also used one of Colin's images for the cover of "Inside My Mind".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I might adjust the theme and direction of my proposed third Lulu poetry collection. Hopefully, I will be able to say more about this project soon.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">
