Have you ever thought about the impact the little things in life are having on you? What about the changes you can make that take no time at all? Last week I wrote about Little Changes in Life. You can read it in full by following the link, but to summarise I talked about how …
War Dragon: A 3LT
Dead. Finally, it was dead. Her breathing heavy, her body coated in a vile mixture of bile and blood, she slumped against the corpse of the War Dragon. The reptiles body would remain here forever, its skeleton too big for mortal hands to move, but, at long last, its reign was over; it would bring …
Timelines and Editing with April Munday – A WiPW Guest Post
After the success of Ritu's post last week, I am glad to have another strong Work In Progress Wednesday to share with you all today. One thing I've always found difficult is making sure my characters behave on the right schedule, that they're not skipping from one place to another... The following post has some …

Little Changes in Art
Have you ever noticed the subtler things we do with our art? The little changes we make that hold a bigger impact? When creating art, be it writing, photography, or anything else, it can often be improved with little touches. That doesn't mean to say that big changes can't help, perhaps you're working with a …
The Furnace: A 3LT
The flames licked up through the sockets, dancing between teeth and flashing behind nostrils. The rest had already burnt away; turned to ash in the intense furnace heat. Finally, he was gone, she thought, but still... she didn't trust the flames. ***** This one took a fair few iterations... but here we are. Thanks to Sonya and …

The Future of the Clouds
The Tagline for this website has always been "I like to pretend I am more clever than I am", and it's a sentiment I still hold very true. I really do pretend I'm more clever than I am, I often give my own opinion a lot more credit than it's due. However, it's not really …
My Therapy
"I don't feel like writing so I'm writing." That's how I began this post. I wrote this one line. The thing is, writing is more than just my hobby, and it's more than a future career. To me writing is my therapy. I use writing to make sense of my own feelings and get my …
Disorganisation Station
Do you ever let your disorganisation get the better of you? I do. Today I am celebrating Kirstys Birthday, so again this post has been scheduled in advance. In truth, most of my blog posts tend to be scheduled at least a few days in advance (at time of writing I have 4 post scheduled!) …
Compromise isn’t 50/50
When most people think of compromise they think of meeting in the middle. This kind of implies a 50/50 split, of efforts on either side, which I don't think is a good way of looking at things. Perhaps in the grand scheme of things it evens out to a neutral number, but each occasion isn't …
