Have we ever had an entry in the form of a song before? Formatting may be a challenge, so bear with me.
On a restroom wall in Baltimore,
Above a broken sink,
Someone scratched this message,
“It’s later than you think”I took this simple line to heart,
I saw that it was true,
And built myself a sturdy boat,
Then sailed the ocean blue.Time goes…[Read more]

Food for thought children. Sleep well tonight. 😉 400 inc title.

Just about to lose my data connection before surrendering to the joys of wifi at sea. No inspiration here yet. The pain chocolat is good though.

Well, Kate, you’ve got me stumped with this months competition. Still waiting for inspiration to strike.
-
Oh no! I was hoping to inspire, not stump. Maybe a nautical theme from you with the Captain reference?

A trawler Captain, he could be the captain of my sole!

Sounds fishy to me. 🙂

There had to be a catch.
-
Good one. I’ve been trying to come up with some smart reply, but I’ve got nothing, so you win this round!

Still floundering, Kate?

Just received an email to say that my ‘One Cold Coin’ story from our first Den short story comp has been accepted for ‘From Bloom to Blizzard’, a charity ebook anthology produced by Write in for Leicester (wi4cLeic). To be published later in the year…

Enjoyed writing this, and coming back to it after a week away, thought Kate’s was a very worthy winner among a host of fab entries!

Well done Kate – a deserved win 🙂 And yep Sandra you interpreted mine correctly.

I thought I would try and stick with Sandra’s successful poetical theme. Here’s a line from William Henley’s ‘Invictus’ that really resonates for me.
‘I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.’
