I’m late posting this because, well…Christmas. You know. It got in the way. And then I won another competition and I was so excited I had to write about that as quickly as possible. So I guess what I’m trying to say is Sorry. I’m sorry I’m late, I’m sorry I’m posting things upside downContinue reading “Second Place! Well, sort of. Shhh!”

Happy Christmas – I WON!! 🙌 🎄
It’s a glorious day. It’s Christmas. As I sit here now on my usual perch on the edge of the bed, I feel a little unhealthy thanks to the effects of Covid. That’s right, I got Covid…for Christmas. Yay! What else did I get for Christmas? Well the usual beautiful presents from my partner, theContinue reading “Happy Christmas – I WON!! 🙌 🎄”
We’re back! #amwriting YEAH!
November was sooooooo slow. Oh my goodness. The anticipation of Christmas coupled with the lack of writing competitions while other (far more robust) writers took on Na No Wri Mo (post on that to follow soon) meant I was itching for December to start. When it eventually rolled around I was sat at my laptopContinue reading “We’re back! #amwriting YEAH!”
My place in the Tortive Theatre advent of flash fiction 😊 💜 🎄
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”
