About this blog

Outtamind is the place where the flotsam and jetsam of the brain end up.  It’s the ideas that don’t get written, the feelings and memories that rarely see the light of day.  It’s the salvage yard of the mind.

I don’t get out much and I don’t talk to many people so my outtamind is crammed full of rusty old beliefs and opinions and broken down trains of thought.  The trouble is they clatter around in there so I got to thinking, what if I took some of these tired old bits of junk and tried to make something with them?

Hence this blog. My name is Lorna Thorpe.  I’m a poet and freelance writer.  You can find out more about me and my work here
