We've moved!

Sorry everyone who's only just discovered us. We need more functionality so we've moved to Wordpress. We love that we know what "functionality" means now. Thank you Birmingham Bloggers Group.

7 am Friday Morning, been up since 6, on my way out to do a performance in a school in about 15 minutes. It's an anti-bullying play, something close to my heart since I now do the job I do on account of being bullied out of my job as a psychiatric nurse in 2000. But hey, look where it took me! I found Wrote Under apart from anything else! I now get to do a job which brings me a billion times more satisfaction and joy and meaning than all those years battling with the inhuman forces in our beloved cruelty-free NHS...I'm a writer, actor, comedian, artist, and I do all the things I love every single day.....and get paid for doing it. Thanks to Wrote Under my comedy creation Kimmy Sue Anne became a permanent fixture rather than a one-off creation for a tour I was asked to do (my publisher wanted me to read my serious poetry about bullying but I thought that would just depress people, so I invented Kimmy to have some fun just for that tour). I was directed to the Sunday Xpress when one of the Wrote Under members saw my performance of her and she's been pushing her way onto stages ever since! Did anyone see The Butterfly Effect last night? I suggest anyone who has had a traumatic past and has had thoughts of 'what ifs' 'if only I could change the past' etc (like me) watch it, it's a fantastic film which leads one to think that whatever happens in our lives that may sometimes be awful....there is some greater scheme going on behind the scenes! Right, got to go out into the cold now to smite a few more bullies (watch Demons on Saturday nights, ITV and you'll know what I'm on about...except the demons in that programme are kinder, cleverer and prettier than NHS ones). Have a good weekend whoever out there reads this! Love n Light XXX

Hello, I don’t think I’ve been properly introduced. I am Lizzy Piffany. I will be writing lots more on here because it’s all about me. But first, I must tell you something. Yesterday I attended the excellent Social Media Surgery offered by the Birmingham Bloggers’ Group at the BVSC, which I found out about on the official Best Blog in Britain, Created in Birmingham, and which also got a mention on the fabulous Nicky Getgood’s site, Digbeth is Good. They gave me an injection of bloggers’ bugglies and taught me all sorts of useful things. One of which was: if you want people to visit your blog, pepper it with links to the biggest bloggers around.
