Thanks @katemachon and @sandradavies. I realise that I should have given some context to this as it’s actually an excerpt from my WIP and, although this is the first time Dipsy actually appears, the reader would know her age and her relationship to the narrator. So sorry.

I will tidy up Dipsy’s character questionnaire and post it if you’d like,…[Read more]

Amazing but true: participants in Songs of Innocence and Experience have just under two months left to complete their short story.

Good stuff, Jane. I am a ‘surface reader, accept what I’m given and expect to be further enlightened as the tale goes on, but also need to be enticed in the first place. Although Dipsy doesn’t sound like someone I’d warm to/would actively avoid for her lack of off button, her situation and the narrator have my sympathy.

I received a year’s subscription to this as a present, and am a bit ambivalent about the content for myself. That said, they claim to “showcase vivid writing by the literary new blood” – flash, short stories and poetry.

Just missed the deadline for the next issue (each offers a theme) but might be of interest for…[Read more]

On the subject of self-publishing, two to-be-proofed books uploaded to Blurb on Saturday afternoon were received before midday today. I did wait for a 30% discount offer; ordered six titles in all and p&p was £14.

“… confounded me with his disturbing narrative…”

To explain a little in case this wasn’t clear: Four Ling leaves 🙂

Thanks, Janette. I’ve taken the opportunity to post a possible opening of the as yet untitled Luke #5. 362 words.

Prologue?

Lucy Longland, who had only gone to check her hair, emerged from the Ladies in Leith’s Registry Office too prematurely for Dylan Richards to successfully make himself invisible. Her smile a blend of pleasure and warning, s…[Read more]

Well done, J!
Apologies, John. I actually wrote something for this but never got round to tidying it up 🙁
Athelstone replied to the topic Monthly Comp – November 2019 in the forum Monthly Competition 6 years, 7 months ago

Well done, Jeanette – super piece. Great comp, John!
Barny replied to the topic Monthly Comp – November 2019 in the forum Monthly Competition 6 years, 7 months ago

Congratulations, Janette – nice work! And thanks John for the prompt.

Ooh yes that would be fab, thank you @raine. And yes, Julie C is the fabbest 🙂
JaneShuff replied to the topic Monthly Comp – November 2019 in the forum Monthly Competition 6 years, 7 months ago

Congratulations Jeanette. It is a stunning piece of writing. And thanks John for provoking such a great collection of stories!
Sandra replied to the topic Monthly Comp – November 2019 in the forum Monthly Competition 6 years, 7 months ago

Well done, Janette, and thank you John for releasing words I’d not anticipated writing. Thanks also for some brilliantly enjoyable reads.
John S Alty replied to the topic Monthly Comp – November 2019 in the forum Monthly Competition 6 years, 7 months ago

Well, I’ve read your entries with great enjoyment. Jeanette gave a beautiful allegorical rendition of the passing seasons, Athers made me laugh with his tale of Norman, the folium-phobiac hoist by his own petard, Sandra found a silver lining and Barney completely confounded me with this disturbing narrative – I’m still asking myself, what the h…[Read more]

Just dropping in quickly to say hello, and to apologise for my absence for the last few weeks. Will try and catch up soon. (Nanowrimo kind of took over).
