It’s day eighteen of the 30 Day Writing Challenge, and today’s prompt is: Warning. When I read the prompt it made me think of the weather and how quickly it can change – in Melbourne they say you can experience all four seasons in one day, and when I lived there I soon learned toContinue reading “30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Eighteen – Warning”

30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Seventeen – Early Morning
Earlier this week I shared this image on my Instagram account. It was taken one early morning as I walked past the park. Mist hung low beneath the trees, the light behind turning them to silhouettes and it seemed so serene to me, the mist like a blanket on the grass, that I had toContinue reading “30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Seventeen – Early Morning”
30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Sixteen – Small Things
Today is day sixteen of the 30 Day Writing Challenge, and the prompt is: Small Things. It’s been a funny old week with lots going on, and I’ve just realised that I forgot to take a Wednesday Wander! I’m think perhaps this blogging challenge has thrown me off course a little – I tend notContinue reading “30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Sixteen – Small Things”
30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Fifteen – Witness
It’s day fifteen, half way through the 30 Day Writing Challenge, and today’s prompt is: Witness I’d had a little flicker of an Ambeth story running through my mind and it seemed to work with this prompt, the idea of the trees as silent witnesses being quite insistent. If you’ve read the books, you mayContinue reading “30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Fifteen – Witness”
30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Fourteen – Home
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”
