I'm an author, and I've been writing for a long time. But I like the idea of being 'new'. Everything I write feels like the first important thing I've ever written when I write it. So in that sense, yes, I'm a new writer, and also in the sense of being completely unheard of!

This week, Farage has threatened to abolish ILR status for legal migrants, has said migrants may be eating swans from public parks, & refused to condemn Trump's linking of autism to paracetamol. The UK media needs to stop pretending his insane extremism is politics as usual.
A poem! I am experimenting with a new form of presentation. All comments are welcome.

Yeah, I quit. All is well here, thank you. Plans are being formed! I hope you are well too!
I've also successfully used website blocking apps in the past when I got particularly addicted to certain sites. A third thing I did was buy a little wifi keyboard to go with my tablet, but I haven't used it yet because the ethernet cable solution was so effective.
Sometimes when I can't get it together, pulling out the ethernet cable and switching off the wifi really works.
Don’t toilets glow in the middle of the night?
I know it’s really because they’re white,
but aren’t they such places of solitude?
I mean it—not simply being crude.

Your examples are interesting. One is the physical reflection of light, which could be argued to occur without an observer. The other is a figurative reflection, which I would argue only occurs if it is observed. There may be potential reflections in existence which are not observed.
I think art is something that reflects life. While I don't think there's anything in life that necessarily doesn't do so, I think this reflectivity ought to be intentional or observed, so I'm open to the idea that there are things in life that, being neither, are not art.

Read my exploration of just two words in Paul Bowles' 1950 novel The Sheltering Sky: Port Moresby. Why did Bowles use the name of the capital of Papua New Guinea as that of his principal character? Visit my blog to see what I think.

"Lucky it's a sunny day," I commented to him. He turned and said to me, "Listen, son. If it rains now, I'll eat ma hat."
