What have you been working on? Welcome to the first Writing Prompt post of 2024! As you have already gathered, the daily series of posts has come to an end, but that doesn’t mean this series is over. What have I been working on? As a lot of you have gathered, I write stories, and […]
I’m very, very happy. Today marks the day I have completed my quest! Today, I have posted at least once a day, every day, throughout 2023! I can’t say I’ve always found this Writing Prompts series to be easy. At times, finding a topic to discuss has definitely proved a challenge. Nonetheless, I persevered, and […]
The seventh letter of the alphabet leads us to countries beginning with G, and there is no greater treasure-trove of mythical creatures than Greece. There are numerous monsters and beings to be found in Greek mythology, and choosing just one was quite the challenge, but choose I did, and I went with the mighty Minotaur. […]
F is the letter, so France is the country, and gargoyles are the theme for this latest mythical creatures prompt. The origins of this particular beast can be found in medieval France, with a story dated to the 7th Century, and a man called St Romanus. Romanus is said to have saved the country by […]
Welcome to my second book! Fontana & Istilor has been bubbling away for several months. It burst into my brain in the early part of 2023, and it would not leave until it had been fully realised. I am proud of this, it is completely different to The Awakening, and thus has its own, unique […]
Recently, the US state of Colorado invoked a clause in the Constitution to bar Donald Trump from running for president in that state. Even more recently, Maine followed suite. Whilst Colorado tends to vote Democrat, Maine can potentially go either way, so there might be a greater impact on Trump’s 2024 presidential bid. Ultimately, the […]
Today, this meerkat is exploring the mountains of Ecuador, in search of a Muki. A Muki is a dwarf-like entity, said to be no more than two feet tall, with long, bright blond hair, a head upon a body with no neck, and a reddish face with a white beard. Because Muki dwell in the […]
We’re the other side of Christmas, and it is fair to say I am exhausted, but before we get to that, shall we go back to two weeks ago? Inclement Weather Rain was the chief order of the day, two weeks ago. I had to make a couple of journeys, and got soaked as a […]
For once, when I reference trolls, I am not referring to the internet idiots that you find across social media, but rather the Nordic legend. After covering the Christmas season, we’re back to my daughter’s suggestion of posts about mythical creatures, and since we had explored Cambodian legends last time, we’re on to the letter […]
It’s the day after the big one, and you’re tired, still horrifically full from Christmas Day’s food, and maybe a wee bit hungover. However, Boxing Day can be a very busy day, as a lot of people go back to work, lots of people see the family they couldn’t see on Christmas, and big sales […]
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
You may be wondering where this post will go. Well, let’s place the scene in the restaurant above. What might I deem inappropriate behaviour in this setting?
