Those of you who also read Liberty’s blog will have recently seen her post about the amusing writing exercise we and several members of Liberty’s family set ourselves. It was all inspired by one of Liberty’s siblings confessing that she was writing a bit of a saucy novel – somehow this turned into each of…… Continue reading Smut Party: Research Shuttle 569
Last night was February’s meeting of our local Writer’s Club, and our homework this time was to write something inspired by a selection of Rory’s Story Cubes that we (virtually) rolled on Liberty’s phone. The dice rolled looked like this: And the challenge was to use at least three of them in our piece of…… Continue reading MDWC – February 2016
This week, Liberty and I decided to return to our local Writer’s Club after a very extended break. (With the exception of the Christmas meals, we turned up for those 😉) I haven’t done any writing outside of this blog for probably well over a year now and I decided I’d like to try getting…… Continue reading MDWC – January 2016
It was Writer’s Club at my local library last night and we were looking at the poem ‘I am Taliesin’ by the infamous and legendary bard of the same name (he was real but his story is interwoven with the magic of the Arthurian legends). It is a poem of self-pride and boastfulness and is…… Continue reading I Am Tori, Defeater Of Socks.
This week’s prompt for the 100 word Challenge for Grown Ups was ‘…what does it taste like…’ and my brain instantly took me on a supernatural wander. I have no idea who Gretchen and Looper are or even really what they are, I just know that they start to ‘change’ when they grow up… Growing…… Continue reading Growing Up – A Microfiction for #100WCGU
Liberty posted her latest instalment of There’s no Such Thing As Fairies on her blog the other day, which means it is time for the first new prompt of 2013! After much thought and consideration I have discarded several ideas about the weather we have been having as direct prompts and went for one a…… Continue reading I Believe In Fairies – A Prompt For @Libertyfallsdwn
This post is a re-imagined version of something that actually happened this Christmas Eve/Day. I feel a tad guilty about it. Basically, my parents have a bit of a mouse problem in their house at the moment and… * ‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house everyone stirred, including a mouse. There…… Continue reading Christmas Guilt ~ A piece for the #100WCGU
I wish this cold had stayed as just that – a cold. Instead, I was in bed until almost one this afternoon after a night of hot and cold fever and throwing up. I feel mostly better now, aside from an irritating headache, a runny nose and a slight temperature. Hopefully Liberty is feeling better…… Continue reading I Believe In Fairies ~ a prompt for @libertyfallsdwn
As Carole is doing her utmost best to finish NaNoWriMo off this week (she’s currently only 3000 words from finishing and tomorrow is the last day!), I’ve said I’ll guest post a prompt for Liberty. (Liberty has finished her NaNoWriMo project already, so it seems only fair she should continue to have a prompt ;-)…… Continue reading I Believe In Fairies ~ a prompt for @libertyfallsdwn
I haven’t joined in with this for a while because NaNoWriMo has eaten all my creative-writing-ness but this week I decided to use it as a prompt because I’d got stuck in my NaNo piece. So here is what I came up with – carrying straight on from where I was up to in my…… Continue reading ‘Grey’ – An Extract from ‘Faerie Or No’ ~ #100WCGU
