More Poems, morphrog


J.S. is chuffed to have five poems in issue 29 of morphrog. They even describe her as an "intriguing writer", which she is determined to take as a compliment (they have chosen to publish five of her poems, after all).

The poems in question are:

  • Waiting Time
  • Making My Bed
  • Not a Paper Doll Poem
  • Peepshow
  • Gridiron Flow

You can read J.S.'s poems for free (along with the stunning work from the issue's other contributors) by clicking here for the landing page or going directly here for J.S.'s poems.

Social Once More


Sssh, I don't want to say this too loudly in case the gremlins wake up again, but I think my Facebook page is working once more.

The Facebook page devoted to my writing is at  https://www.facebook.com/J.S.Watts.page

If you want to hear my news, big stuff will be published on this website, but it's worth checking out the Facebook page for day to day chat.

Social Media Blues

You may know that I have a Facebook page devoted to my writing. You may even know that it is at https://www.facebook.com/J.S.Watts.page. What you probably won't know, because I can't post on the page to tell you, is that the Facebook gremlins have determined that my heavy duty upload schedule of one post a day (sometimes) is too much and won't let me post anything further to my newsfeed. I have reported the problem, but Facebook gremlins are laid back critters.

So, if you want to hear my news, for the time being the best bet is via this website. Also, if you happen to stop by my Facebook page and wonder why it seems inactive, it's not that I've given up, it's just that the Facebook gremlins are having a prolonged afternoon nap, once a day, every day, for as long as they fancy.
