Heading to York knowing that I’m performing in Friday Night Live and I have a sore throat. This could be the first ever FNL in sign language!

Bestest of best luck. 🙂
Keep us up to date, please.-
Will be sending healing vibes all the way, John. And keeping fingers and toes crossed for you x

Thank you!

Thank you both! I can’t reply directly to Seagreen for some computerish reason xxx

Whisky and lemon and honey. Then you’ll do brilliant. Good luck.

My favourite remedy x

Good luck @johnt3! Yes, whisky for that smokey, throaty burr. That and your wurdz together will knock ’em dead 🙂 Enjoy!

Good luck. I hope the throat sorts itself out in time.

We’ll try to get a Cloudie table together to cheer you on to your inevitable victory, John!

Good luck, John. Rooting for you. And hope you feel better soon x

Didn’t see this – good luck, John. I’ll be cheering you on remotely. BUt also, doing a reading in sign would be so utterly amazing and inclusive and beautiful!

Folks did ask when I was going to do a launch – details here: https://squidgesscribbles.blogspot.com/2019/09/book-launch-tilda-of-merjan.html
It’s a full daytime event in half term, although half term seems to run over two weeks and this is the first of the two.
But I have been wondering whether any Denizens would be up for an evening…[Read more]

Early because I’m about to go on holiday (and yes, Squidge, definitely Valspar!)
Battle drab (400 words including title)

Calling all writers – this means you! There are 3 weeks left until the group “Songs of Innocence and Experience” becomes private and is closed to new members. This annual short story event has led to winning National Competition entries and inspired novels. It can draw out the best in you and at the very least is tremendous fun. To join, head…[Read more]

Sandra, they are fun, aren’t they? Valspar (Other paint companies also available!) are the absolute best ones – much more imaginative than others I could mention!

Sandra replied to the topic September 2019 in the forum Monthly Competition 6 years, 8 months ago
Squidge, you mentioned paint colours when we did the Lords and Ladies, and I’ve been gathering them as prompts ever since.

September comp’s up – realise it might be a bit quiet this month because of York, but looking forward to reading those who decide to give it a go.

Squidge posted an update 6 years, 8 months ago
I believe certain peeps have heard about comp placings for York this weekend…
Anyone else we don’t know about yet?!
Good luck to everyone who has been, commiserations to those who haven’t, and have a bloody good time the rest of you. x

Right, many of you know I use paint samples as one of my writing prompts in creative writing sessions; now you get to have a go.
The samples are all beige/brown in colour. Your challenge is to pick one of the following names given to the shades of brown and give me a max of 400 words, using the name as a title. Your choices are;

Well done Squidge, and thanks Kate for the challenge – much appreciated, and all entries enjoyed, as ever.

Thanks Kate, good comp.

Songs of Innocence and Experience 6 years, 8 months agoSome intriguing choices being made. I hope that expectations are not knocked too far off kilter when the theme and meaning of the choices is revealed. I’m sure that kind, clever, wise, reliable and wholly impartial Jules will make my choices quite perfectly.

You’re not trying to butter me up there at all, are you, Ath?

Simply speaking the truth – as I learned to at my mother’s knee…

Songs of Innocence and Experience 6 years, 8 months ago@sandradavies You choose the BEST character names! 😀
-
Zephaniah (surname Poole) is a family name – wish I’d known that before I had my children!
-
Zephaniah is such a great name. I kind of want it (for myself, not for this challenge!)

How’re things, Denizens? Hurray and thanks to @athelstone for managing to drag me out of my cave to sign up for his splendid comp. *crawls back into cave to mull choices*
-
Thanks for the thanks, though I assure you there are plenty of selfich reasons to run the comp – it’s fun for starters.
Can’t speak for the Denizens, but things are fine for me. How about you?-
Things are a bit bleurgh tbh. Hence the cave. So am extra glad of the challenge this year. 🙂
