Did you know that, when you look at a portfolio for an artist, you’re looking at their best work? It’s a shocking revelation, I know. I’ll let you sit down and take it in. Did you know that, when you read a book you’ve bought, whether from highstreet or Amazon, you’re reading a fully edited, …
100 Followers! A Friday Feeling.
So… Something magical has happened. After finally kicking myself up the ass to take my blog seriously – as a means to, not only discipline myself to write, but to promote my writing as well – I’ve hit 100 Followers. I’ve been blogging semi-regularly since Mid-May, increasing the frequency of my posts as the months …
Awakening: A #WritePhoto
Within dark and mossy walls, where light rarely touches stone, eldritch fingers clasp primitive tools. On rock they leave their sinister carvings, elaborate portrayals of their worshiped master, and pray for Its long awaited arrival. It is almost time. ***** Not sure what's gotten into me today, first my response to 3 Line Tales and now …
The Antique: A 3LT
The dials whirled frantically; spinning relentlessly in a mechanical frenzy. Held captive within the copper casing, an ancient power thrummed, desperate for release. “This antique is a particular oddity,” the seller said, watching her young eyes widen as he moved the piece between his skeletal hands “It’s even older than the time it tells, yet, …
WiP Wednesday #2
Last week I vowed to do WiP Wednesdays; a day a week, here on the blog, where I would update you on the progress of my current Work in Progress (WiP). Maybe share some lessons learnt along the way; or even pick up tips! It’s something I’ve wanted to do for quite some time now, …
Kicking the Perfection Addiction
Perfection does not exist. I’ve long believed that the term Perfection is a superlative term used to describe it’s opposite. “This isn’t perfect” “This could be perfect, but...” Yet, despite believing it doesn’t truly exist, despite never in a million years identifying as a perfectionist, I found myself continually holding myself to the standards it …
Far, Far Away: A MicroFiction
Todays Prompt: Far Far Away Far, far away; past the salt flats and across the marshes, where the emerald grass grew long and vibrant, the golden walled city of Aurela sat in quiet majesty. Aurela was known across the land as the City of Prosperity. It existed to be an almost unachievable dream, a place …
Prompting Passion (Or Passionate Prompts?)
My mind is being taken over by Prompts… And I love it! The reason I started taking my blog seriously was to reinvigorate my creativity; I wanted to shake myself out of my every day comatose state and get back to my true passions. I needed to discipline myself and I desperately needed an outlet… …
Alicia’s Dead: A #WritePhoto
I've been wanting to take part in Sue's #WritePhoto for awhile now... But sadly I was too slow in writing something for the last prompt! So, I've kept it short and sweet this week just to make sure I hit the deadline! (And honestly because I'm more than a little obsessed with Three Line Tales!) …
The Captains Storm: A 3LT
The brilliant white light cut across its canvas; filling the space betwixt the storm and the stars. Beneath maddened, purple clouds the turbulent sea jostled its once loyal voyagers with no regard for their welfare. Holding fast, the rails of his quarter deck pushing deep into his diaphragm, the Captain winced as sharp, white fire …
