I’ve had a crazy couple of weeks, but I finally managed to carve some time to write and visit my online friends. The following story is inspired by the above photograph. It was taken by a friend, Jarno Willemarck, in the French part of Belgium (he’s not allowed to give exact location). He titled it … Continue reading Cinderella Castle – Photo inspired short story

Alphabetti Spaghetti – A pasta free word game!
After reflecting on my A to Z challenge (I know, I know, I was supposed to provide evidence of those reflections…say in a post for example!). Ahem…anyway… It occurred to me that I need to work on my writing muscles, since my exercise regime is somewhat lax at the moment (okay, fine…I’m not great … Continue reading Alphabetti Spaghetti – A pasta free word game!
Worth the wait
I apologise for posting twice in one day (sort of - it's after midnight here), and a largely unedited piece at that. I would have waited, but it seemed a good example to complement my A to Z posts. Sam has been in my head for the last two days, and has been driving me … Continue reading Worth the wait
Eternal Darkness
J. Sander over at 'Don't Delete Me' shared a sentence starter for his Writing Prompt Wednesday. I couldn't resist a quick detour, since an image sprang into my head and I had to go with it.

Hope
Part 5 of the collaboration between Laura and I. She awoke some time later to the welcome realisation she was alone. The moonlight lit the bottom half of her bed, and her eyes were drawn to the window before she felt the cold. At first she thought it was an illusion, the way her curtain … Continue reading Hope
A Sweeping Glance
Daily Prompt: Those Dishes Won't do Themselves (Unfortunately) What’s the household task you most dislike doing? Why do you think that is — is it the task itself, or something more?
