Changes to this site
I’ve given up the weekly writing prompt. I’ve found so many people are already putting up good prompts, so there’s really no need for me to add to it.
You will find links to writing prompts on the Resources for Writers Page. It’s the page that used to be called Writing Competitions. It still has details of competitions added as I learn about them, but also has links for writing courses, and links to sites that produce writing prompts.
What I’ve published this week:
Sunday: Work in Progress Update.
Chapter 2 of Venomous Void finds Wendy in the library of the Ivory Tower, avoiding princess lessons.
Monday: Life on Mars.
In this short story, a woman working on Mars looks out on the landscape and imagines the future.
Wednesday: Winter’s Tale
A poem complaining about the cold the rain, the mould, a possum and aches and pains. I am not enjoying this winter.
Thursday: Remembering Marc
Two friends return to the last place they saw their missing friend, ten years after his disappearance.
Friday: Overlord
Mr Bumpy, retired bloggercat and Supreme Feline Overlord, criticises everything and everyone.
Saturday: The Venomous Void Chapter 3
In the next chapter of my work in progress, Wendy learns how Octavius gained his Fallen powers, and has her first clue as to how to help him.
