To Blog, or Not…
Writing and Thinking
by Elizabeth Stott
Welcome to the home page of To Blog, or Not. You will find some of my writing – short stories, novel extracts and poetry – mixed with reflections on things that engage me. There are musings on life in the universe(s). A bit of science. The odd rant. A memoir or two, diversions, and self-referential stuff about the practice of writing and the need for good coffee, wine etc. ‘To Blog, or Not’ is a play on words, of course, but the idea is not to to overwork the observational posts – they are sketches rather than oil paintings. This is a personal blog, and I reserve the right to get things wrong sometimes!
My stories and poetry have appeared in various literary magazines and anthologies, and performed at spoken word events. See the News and Publications page in the side-bar for information. My short story collection, Familiar Possessions, is now out of print, but some of the stories are included in the blog pages, accessible from Fiction Links. Follow the tag cloud to read fiction, short stories and poetry. Newer posts can be accessed directly from the side-bar.
In April 2023 I published a pamphlet of poetry – The Undoing – with Maytree Press. You can hear some of the poems and other work on Soundcloud, accessible from the sidebar. Read a review by Kelly Davies in London Grip.
Please note that all characters in my stories are fictional, and that I retain copyright on my work. Photography and artwork is my own except when stated otherwise.
