Writerly passions,sweet shoes and ages past

Well I'm become fixed on my writing and hope not to care a jolt about much else,besides my lovely boards.I am wanting to write about myth and legend,ancestral tradition,feminity,love,ancient celts,everything British isles and the otherworld.My novels really must be worked on foremost.Today I've spent much time reading on wise women traditions,the reading of other women writers(those writing on myth),their writing habits and writing rituals.I read again the lovely myth of Dubh ruis and Mis that I always love,what a scene ; Mis shredding out all around her,and gentle dubh ruis playing her back to her noble harmony.Yesterday I read Rosamond's biography for hours and her dedication to her writing (so many novels) really inspired me to take it all more seriously.But my gosh the woman was spoilt and had it so easy,her husband fully supporting her so she was able to pen her best seller and eat chocolates.As I've said with my life full of uncertain trials it really is hard to be dedicated to anything.

I imagined myself though in my cottage typing away this or that all hours,all the while biscuits baking,tea brewing oh it was a nice thought come evening.I want also to read much more poetry,but don't even know where to begin in searching it out,the more flowery,antiquated and romantic the better.I have become hostile to all things modern.I've become a little expert on Celtic poetry which of course I adore,but really I want to read aloud 19th century poetry and I do recite Yeats 'the hosting of the sidhe' very often,so much so that I'm getting my favourite lines from it engraved on a pendant.Which poets? which poets to choose,I promised to read Tennyson and probably I would like any poets of the Celtic revival,I just need to buy a book of 19th century English Poetry.

Oh I want a writerly husband that will publish books with me and other snippets,in my readings Of British bohemians the couples are always starting little publishing presses. With it so easy to self publish nowadays online and ebooks I would not bother.I really want a river running through me of pretty and peculiar words just flowing and dancing.I found a nice little how to for making such simple shoes and really I want to make them very much,it's because once again I was aghast at modern shoes,like I am saddened at everything modern,modern life seems to have had all the romance of life blown out of it.look at these lovely shoes really everything from the old and lost years is magical.
Well I think I'll watch a costume drama and really get swept up or work on the Hawk and the Harper the inspiring images for it you can see below.
