I’m struggling to believe that I’m writing this post on December 15th. We are, officially, 10 days from experiencing the most expensive and extravagant commercial holiday EVER. Wow. I’m 2 weeks from asking “where has my small amount of cash gone?” and “why are the kids more interested in the toy boxes than the actualContinue reading “My place in the Tortive Theatre advent of flash fiction 😊 💜 🎄”

I found a second shortlisting 💜🤔
I’m not looking at things with enough care. I mean who misses their own success? I’m going to blame a ridiculous amount of lost sleep on the problem. Tiredness is making me clumsy, stuttery, careless and forgetful. I’m also cranky and paranoid. Who wouldn’t want to live with me? Lol. I found, randomly, a shortlistingContinue reading “I found a second shortlisting 💜🤔”
The Apple of her Eye
I’ve lost my creative mojo lately and felt more than a little lost. As a result, I forced myself to pad out another story I was interested in finishing. The same as a couple of my other posts, this story hasn’t been submitted anywhere, it’s just here for myself and you,, if you fancy aContinue reading “The Apple of her Eye”
First Place 🏆. That is all.
Well November is typically a difficult month for me. Notorious for leaving me pained, sad and tired, finding it difficult to get up and get on. It started as I expected it to. The grief I experience annually still arrived, but in desperation I tried to push it away. I’ve explained in other posts theContinue reading “First Place 🏆. That is all.”
Feirg – it’s backwards
This is probably going to be my longest prose so far, but it’s been bubbling in my head for a while and I’m setting it free. This is a half and half share of fiction and reality, blended in to one story, but split in to two perspectives. I’m learning about character building in fiction,Continue reading “Feirg – it’s backwards”
Flash Fiction Shortlisted again!
I’m starting to struggle to find words that begin these posts. I am humbled, proud, happy, overwhelmed and shocked at least once month. So i’m starting this post with an apology for being repetitive. I am working on my word base and will try to improve! For now though, I am, once again, shocked andContinue reading “Flash Fiction Shortlisted again!”
Selected again! So humbled and proud
Another day, another piece of awesome news! Incredibly, one of my short stories was selected again by Secret Attic. Once again, I took part in the Weekly Write. This time (week 47) I wrote a piece about grief. It’s a subject that I hate to say i’m terribly familiar with. As a result, I findContinue reading “Selected again! So humbled and proud”
Oh my gawd…I won!
Well I can’t quite believe I’m able to write this, but finally after a few short listings, I won a competition! Back to the Secret Attic website. This time I entered their Drabble competition. I’ve entered a few flash fiction stories in the past with varying success. This competition was another flash but it hadContinue reading “Oh my gawd…I won!”
