Ok everyone, I’ve got about 10 pages at the moment I’d like someone to read through, just to proofread and to let me know if I’m on the right track. I expect there will be some grammar and spelling mistakes I’ve missed and I’d like to know if it reads ok or not. I got quite a bit done on the weekend, which I’m pretty happy with, but now I’m getting ( Read more... )

Hi everyone. I know I’ve been a bit quiet lately, but life’s been changing fairly rapidly which has made it hard for me to write. I’ve started on the topic of “Lament to Magenta”, but I wasn’t happy with what I came up with, so here’s a second look at “Celebrity by Default”, which I had meant to write a few weeks ago but didn’t seem appropriate at ( Read more... )

Ok, again, I know it’s a little late, but I started writing on the topic of “Mt. Dandenong” and it got a lot longer than I had expected. I’m still working on it in the background, and I’ll probably post it in a couple of parts when it’s ready. So instead, here’s a short story about Cheese ( Read more... )

Ok, I know I didn’t post last week, but London kinda blew up and I was a little more concerned with making sure friends and family were ok . . . plus, what I had in mind didn’t seem appropriate after that, but it will keep for later. Instead, something slightly different on the same topic. I’m not sure how great this one is, but it’s something new ( Read more... )

I said I’d write a story on Wednesday about a submitted random topic! And I did! I did! I just haven’t posted it yet . . . I’m afraid it’s not very creative, but that’s the whole point of these exercises: practice. Anyway, if anyone else has any ideas for random topics, submit away, or I’ll just keep recycling the two I’ve got ( Read more... )

I have an idea! How about, everyone think of random things, and I’ll write a short story on the topic. It could be a word, a phrase, a thing, a place, whatever, and every Wednesday, one will be selected at random and I’ll write something and put here. I promise. At the very least, it’s a good way to see who actually reads these

I had a vivid dream last night, which I’m still attempting to make sense of. To reflect on it, it would seem to be or feel much more emotional than what it did at the time, and I woke up feeling unaffected but puzzled ( Read more... )

I slept long and restlessly last night, and had quite a few dreams, but one has mainly stuck with me. It’s been a long while since I woke up, but I’ll do the best I can in transcribing it as I remember it ( Read more... )

A Man with a Limp
Followed Me
Or Maybe
He Didn’t
He Could Have Been Walking Fine
I Don’t Know
I Couldn’t See Him Properly
He Was Behind Me
