Write something about yourself. No need to be fancy, just an overview.

My blog

Dear reader. I am rather busy at the moment with one thing and another. However, since I am writing within the tradition of working-class women writer’s this is only to be expected. I sincerely hope that no one has been waiting with baited breath for the rest of my poems. I have put them on the back burner for the time being, having more pressing tasks at hand. Although, I must admit it is nice to know that I am able to conjure up a poem when required, and I will definitely be doing more work on them for the poetry module of my MA. 
Meanwhile, I need to press on with my autobiography. So watch this space.
 
I am now on twitter, which I find to be a very useful and informative resource, and quite entertaining.
You can find me there as Sue Petty otherwise known as @therealsuepetty (beware of imitations).
  
Have a nice day and thanks for looking.

    I recently completed an academic research project (MPhil) about working-class women’s autobiographies. Now I’m writing my own...

    To cut a long story short:

    My dad and both my grandads were coal miners. I was born in Coalville. I belong on this website. 
    I returned to education as a mature student: got a couple of A-levels, went to university; got a BA, an MA, a PhD, and an MPhil. It was not as easy as that. It was not as quick as that. But I did.
    I have spent most of my adult-life studying something. Generally something to do with English literature: mainly something to do with working-class women. My MA is about Women and God – inspired by and emotively written through my experiences as a pupil at Catholic primary and secondary schools. My PhD and MPhil projects are about working-class women writers – inspired and emotively written through my experiences as a working-class woman in a materialistic and class-ridden society. When I was an undergraduate at university, there wasn’t a module about working-class writing. There just wasn't. I didn’t study any working-class texts. I just didn’t. I once gave a research paper about my PhD (ie: talking about my work) and I remember someone laughingly said, ‘Was there a recession in the 1980s? I must have missed that.’ That just about sums it up.
    I have had no working-class peers. I found them in my reading and writing. In my reading and writing I found myself.

    Welcome to my blog.
    It's basically about me.It’s called ‘My Travel Blog’ (because I’m time travelling through my memories of the past). See what I did there?
