Ath, I know I’ve not been round much recently, but that looks fab! Noticed that blogs and whatever the heading is next to it both go bold when you click on blogs, but it seems so much easier and intuitive to navigate. Thank you xxx

Recovering from Covid. It’s no joke. Be careful out there people, the risk is real

Sorry to hear you caught it. Did it break through jabs? Hope you recover quickly and fully x

Take care of yourself and take time to recover.

Thanks. Difficult with all the work I have on, unfortunately

Yes, double jabbed, last one in July.

Ugh Daeds, as if you needed an extra thing to deal with now. Hope it doesn’t linger & hope you are able to treat yourself gently & get extensions if needed. x

All done! Lost the ending I wanted to word count woes lols, but this was very fun none the less 👻🐱👤

Tall pines creak in the eeriness of night, blown by a sudden, fierce gale. It tears through the forest like a spectral fox hounded by wild and ghostly dogs, and the darkness feels alive with power and invocation. Two, small boys stop running…[Read more]

Hallo everybody. Sorry to have been so absent lately. I’ve disappeared into the black hole that is marketing for On The Edge – along with writing book 2 in the series (currently missed two publisher deadlines for this). Hopefully things will calm down a bit after 26th October. I’m looking forward to the annual challenge!
-
Never apologise for the success of a book launch (coming shortly??). Good luck with the next deadline.
-
26th October. Feeling pretty stressed about it although determined to enjoy the day itself!
-
-
Sounds exciting, Jane, if rather challenging.
-
I am definitely not a natural marketer although I’ve discovered I enjoy writing articles – yet to find out if readers enjoy reading them!

Okay guys, Iβve completed my reading and I really must say these are all so good and left my expectations very well-met.
@squidge β I enjoyed this far-away, fantastical dream sequence, with its lightly pressing sense of isolation, elusive understanding, and finally, lucidity.
@athelstone β Gorgeously streaming subconsciousness with this one,…[Read more]

Gentle one-week reminder for the Monthly Competition. This month’s prompt is dreams (or nightmare). Your piece can be inspired by a recent dream, or a recurring one. If you donβt dream, you can still write anything you like, so long as the story is dreamlike, and the writing dreamy. 300-500 words.

Half way through the month! Just your gentle midway reminder to dream a little dream for me and enter this month’s short story competition ✨ Entries so far definitely do the theme justice, full of streams-of-consciousness and the beautifully bizarre nocturnal meanderings of the minds of those who penned them. Your entry can be based on a…[Read more]

My endless summer vacation comes to an end on Monday. I’ve been doing my best to be as active as possible here over the last several weeks, but we all know where my promises to keep that up go once a new school year commences, haha. Gonna still try tho 🙈😊

In the place and time I found myself, I had done something wrong.
My punishment? A chain of large metal links, secured around my throat, pressing against my flesh, reminding me of its presence every time I swallowed or turned my head.
A man, with whom I had a connection β were we related? Was he the reason for my wrongdoing? β received the sam…[Read more]

Most of my dreams are about me being chased, and my running away. Seems to be a recurring motif in my dreamscape. Sometimes it’s horrifying, other times a call to adventure, and most times, something in between the two 😊

The link works, @libby, and the news really warmed my heart along with my morning coffee. The fact that the river was declared dead in the 1950s also brought to mind The Great Stink in @kazg‘s Time Catchers, though the Stink and the declaration were almost a hundred years apart. So happy to hear about the baby seals, sunning on the banks, eating…[Read more]

Found out today that Super Stories has been longlisted (1 of 8) in the Lunchtime Book Club, a new children’s book prize based in Luton! SO chuffed.
(Also in some amazing company – Frank Cotterell-Boyce; Lauren St Child; Marcus Rashford as well as others I’m not so familiar with)
-
That is truly awesome @squidge! Very chuffed and happy for you. Congrats 🥳🥳
-
You’re on a roll, Squidge! Excellent news. That’s brilliant company you’re in too.
-
Fabulous news Squidge. Delighted for you.
