Mondays are the bane of many a person; dragging our tired bodies from beneath the sheets of a warm bed to get ready for a long and painful five days at work. There are obviously exceptions to the rule, those who don’t have work that day or those that do but actually have their dream …
Sharing Success: A Friday Feeling
I didn’t really have anything for my Friday post; for what it’s worth I’ve actually been investing a fair bit of my writing time into NaNoWriMo. Friday Posts, to me at least, are often about Friday Feelings (there was a hashtag for it, back when I was first setting up, and it set me thinking …
WiPW – NaNo Edition: Featuring Cynthia
Welcome to Clockwork Clouds first ever Guest Post! As you'll have read I've been banging on about people taking part in Work in Progress Wednesdays - I posted yesterday, I posted last week and I have a permanent contact form. Well, it turns out it actually works and if you'd like to see more of …
Sharing Inspiration.
How bored are you of hearing me harp on about inspiration? Not bored enough? Good! Because there's more... So. Much. More. Yesterday, when I was all hyped up on positivity (which, I still am by the way!), I alluded to having received interest for the NaNoWriMo Edition of my WiPW. Whether it's because people share …
Positivity Week
At my main job (the one that sadly is neither here nor Level Up) it’s Positivity Week! I think this is an absolutely fantastic thing for a private company to do. I love that they take the time to invest some time into something like this. For me, at least, it couldn’t have come at …
NaNoWriMo WiPW!
Authors! It’s November! And that means… I’m hijacking today's Work in Progress Wednesday, because what is more 'in progress' right now than NaNoWriMo?! Although we’re only on Day Two, hopefully your stories are unraveling in some inspiring ways. I wanted to take this opportunity to extend my offer once more. Would you like to be …
The Isle: A Microfiction
October 4th, 1922 It’s the forth night in as many nights that I’ve woken up to the taste of my own sweat. Once again it’s that same dream that haunts me; once again I see the same haunting visage. The Isle in the centre of an eerily calm sea; it’s black spires like a thorny …
Real Life Halloween Scares
Three weeks into my relationship with Kirsty, I first witnessed her having a bad seizure. I knew she was epileptic before we started dating, but to see it occur in front of me three weeks in was really something else. I sat on a cold, plastic chair outside of Resus for 3 painstaking hours, silently hoping …
The Pumpkin King: A 3LT
Mounted on his pitch black steed, with rapier swinging above his glowing, carved head, the Pumpkin King rode across his lands. First was the moonlit marshes, their ground bloated by the dead, and then came the fanged forest, where ghouls infested ancient trees; all this and more was his kingdom and all here bent and …
Don’t Call it a Comeback…
Moving house is a busy time, isn’t it? I think I actually underestimated, vastly underestimated, just how much of a time drain it would be. I think, in my head, I believed it would be a simple lift and shift of all my belongings, but how wrong I was! When we first got the keys, …
