It’s day fourteen of the 30 Day Writing Challenge, and today’s prompt is: Home. I’ve been at home for most of today, which I’ve enjoyed. It’s a busy time of year and, as a bit of an introvert, home is where I go to recharge. It’s also where I write. Even though I’m *supposed* toContinue reading “30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Fourteen – Home”

30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Thirteen – Forgotten
Forgotten. It is a word of sorrow, of lost things. Memories, people, ideas, thoughts – to be forgotten is to disappear. We search through the forgotten, trying to piece together the past. But the flickers of light that made it real have long since faded, and all we are left with are the shadows ofContinue reading “30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Thirteen – Forgotten”
30 Day Blog Challenge – Day Twelve – Out Of Control
It’s day twelve of the 30 Day Writing Challenge, and today’s prompt is: Out Of Control. And I have nothing. Nada. Bupkus. Zilch. I’m out. Christmas burnout? I’m not sure. I do have a lot of other ideas running around in my mind at the moment, but none of them really fit the brief. IContinue reading “30 Day Blog Challenge – Day Twelve – Out Of Control”
30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Eleven – Stars
It’s day eleven of the blogging challenge and today’s prompt is: stars. Which I completely forgot about while at the British Museum today – no doubt I could have found something wonderfully starry there to inspire me. So instead I wrote a little piece of poetry, and here it is: Opalescent path, Sprinkled salt-like uponContinue reading “30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Eleven – Stars”

30 Day Writing Challenge – Day 10 – Anywhere In The World
It’s day 10 of the 30 Day Writing Challenge, and today’s prompt is: Anywhere in the world. Hmm. This prompt would have been better on a Wednesday, then I could have gone for a wander. However, it’s Saturday and once again it’s been a busy day, so I’ve decided to set myself a timer (tenContinue reading “30 Day Writing Challenge – Day 10 – Anywhere In The World”

30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Eight – Shoes
Shoes. That’s right, today’s prompt is shoes. I love shoes. I used to sell them years ago, working for a handsome Frenchman selling high priced Italian shoes at a Vancouver store. There were several young women working there, all of us expected to project a high fashion image on a shoestring budget, the shoes weContinue reading “30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Eight – Shoes”
