It’s Monday. Monday means something a little different to me now that I’m back working regularly, rather than freelance. It’s not a bad thing, it’s just different. I’m still getting my new schedule sorted out though, so please do bear with me. I’m going to keep posting as much as I’m able to, though I’llContinue reading “Navel-Gazing”

Thursday Doors – Haven
I’ve been posting in Thursday Doors for a while now. Some weeks the doors have been grand, entrances to cathedrals or palaces. Other weeks they’ve been more humble, just like my door this week. Yet a door, no matter the size or shape, represents possibility. None of us know what lies behind until we chooseContinue reading “Thursday Doors – Haven”
Back To A Working Week
It’s a new year, and a new era for me, as I’ve just returned to office work after more than a decade working freelance. My daughter is older now and soon won’t need me to take her to school any more so, when an opportunity came up, I took it. I am still writing andContinue reading “Back To A Working Week”
#writephoto – Lanternlight
Sue Vincent has come up with another beautiful image for her latest #writephoto prompt, and my response is the next part to the story I started for another prompt, Sacha Black’s 52 Words in 52 Weeks. And here it is: Later I sat and pondered his words. Alone in a dark corner, rainbow light fromContinue reading “#writephoto – Lanternlight”
Writespiration – 52 Weeks in 52 Words – Lost Things
The fabulous Sacha Black has set a rather good writing challenge for the year. Each week this year she’ll be setting a writing prompt, which you have to respond to using exactly 52 words. This week’s prompt is: Lost Things. Here is my response: ‘D’you like lost things?’ ‘What?’ ‘Lost things.’ He smiled, gesturing atContinue reading “Writespiration – 52 Weeks in 52 Words – Lost Things”
Snow Day
It snowed here on Friday. And Saturday too. Proper snow, like fat feathers falling from the sky, swirling around and settling on trees and pavements and rooftops. The schools didn’t close and life continued pretty much as usual, but it snowed. I love snow. If you’ve ever watched the Gilmore Girls, you’ll know that LoreleiContinue reading “Snow Day”
#writephoto – Swansong
Sue Vincent’s weekly #writephoto challenge is one of my favourite writing prompts. Her photos are always evocative and inspire a wide range of responses, as though she’s captured a little piece of storytelling magic in each image. Perhaps she has… Here is my response to this week’s photo: Swansong They call it a swansong OurContinue reading “#writephoto – Swansong”
Walking A Tangled Path
I’ve been a bit quiet on the blog front of late. Partly because I think I’m still recovering from the Thirty Day Writing Challenge, partly because I’ve actually been recovering from a nasty lingering cold that’s been running rampant around here (even the Queen had it), and partly because I’ve been trying to untangle theContinue reading “Walking A Tangled Path”
#writephoto – Gold – The Third Time We Choose
Sue Vincent has chosen yet another gorgeous photo for her #writephoto prompt this week, and here is my response: The Third Time We Choose She was scared. Terrified, if she was being honest. But she’d known she couldn’t take another minute stuck in that place. It had felt so good walking into her manager’s office,Continue reading “#writephoto – Gold – The Third Time We Choose”
Wishing Everyone A Happy New Year!
It’s the last day of the year and so, as is tradition, I’m taking a look back at my blogging year. Oh, I won’t be sharing stats or anything like that – rather, just revisiting some popular posts and summing up my 2016 blogging experience. For it has been an experience indeed! This year I’veContinue reading “Wishing Everyone A Happy New Year!”
