What I’ve been writing

Sunday Cold Weather

I also submitted my Furious Fiction entry, but I can’t that story with you until after the judging.

Monday The Golden Orb
In this short story a woman learns that a weird family story has an even weirder truth behind it.

Tuesday The Big Time

Wednesday Pollie Ticks
A poem about people being fed up with politics as usual.

Thursday Overload
Cindy had never heard terms like “neurodivergent” or “sensory overload” she just knew she hated the beach.

Friday Top Ten Uses for a Human
Princess Cat explains why humans are useful to cats.

Saturday Communications
In chapter four of my work in progress, The Venomous Void, Wendy learns a new skill and receives an important message.
What I’ve enjoyed reading
- Kara Sue Achterberg’s charming story of establishing a little free library, and her love of reading.
- Lady Jabberwocky wrapped up her month on mystery writing.
- A science story which justifies my caffeine consumption. Drinking coffee can protect kidneys.
- After Io, novel by Elliot Wink, available on Kindle. Find the author on Twitter @WinkAuthor. It’s a space adventure (you might have guessed by the title) which caught my interest with the first couple of paragraphs. Three injured women are trapped on a disabled spacecraft and are not receiving replies to their distress calls.
- And I’m still working my way through all of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld books.
- Not so much reading, but I love Andrea, Children’s Book Illustrator’s work. She’s been a bit inactive on her blog for a little while, so it was great to see The Scream (shark version.)
- Rhyan Scorpio-Rhys’ story Garota Exilada 1 is a fascinating start to what I expect will be a great story.
- Sarah Cooper’s article (Twitter @sarahmcooper) on Ten Incredible Lost Treasures of the World
- And I’m about 13 books in on my reading of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld books and still loving it. I wish I’d discovered them earlier.
