• My Week In Writing

  It was 2.30 pm on a Friday. The week’s work was finished. I was sitting on the sofa with my three-year-old, watching dinosaurs, and enjoying the last half an hour of peace and quiet. Very soon, it would be time to collect the others from school and start the half term. It would be nine…

• What Are You Reading?

  As a way of honouring my fellow writers, I decided to seek my reading material from my following. I can’t read them all, but if you pop your links to your ebooks in the comments I can pick one at random to buy and read. Consider it free promotion, too, because I’ll do a separate…

• Trying Not To Be Chair Shaped #8

  

  I’ve fallen off the wagon in a big way. In the last two days I’ve eaten more donuts than I have in the previous month. I don’t know if I’m ashamed or impressed with myself. It doesn’t help that it’s been that time of the month. Sugar cravings are insane, it goes hand in hand…

• Writing Tips From An Editor #5

  

  Planning Planning is just as important as having a writing habit, it is the other key way of preventing writer’s block, or simply getting stuck.  As a creative person, planning can feel really dull and restricting. Not planning can be equally restricting because you might not only forget key information that you wanted in the…

• Tapping at The Window – writing prompt

  There aren’t many of us anymore. At least, not out in the open. I’m lucky because of my wife, she works in the high council. It means I’m untouchable, in theory. I can live a life of relative freedom, for a man. I’m allowed to tend my own garden, read books, and educate my children;…

• Upon a Moonlit Bridge – writing prompt

  His suit jacket was stiff, she noticed, as her arm curled around his. Stiff, but warm from the heat of him radiating from beneath. They stepped out into the crisp night air, leaving behind the beat of the music and the chatter. The air was fresh, laced with the chill of the impending autumn. It…

• Trying Not To Be Chair Shaped #6

  Today’s the day! All three children are back to school, this is my chance to truly emerge from the chair and to be able to look after myself at last. My plan was to get outside and start walking or running, invest in some healthy habits in between my working hours. On the other hand,…

• The Broken Armchair

  “I’m going to sell it.” “There’s nothing wrong with it?” She let her gaze flicker over the chair in the corner, only for a moment, “I hate it.” She said. “Not comfy?” Her brother asked, completely oblivious to her discomfort. “It’s awful.” She said through a clenched jaw. He threw himself into the chair and…

• She wore a yellow coat

  It wasn’t just her coat that irritated me, it was also her luxurious heels. I sneered at her dark denim jeans, those stiletto shoes were unreal. Her hair was extremely frustrating somehow still neat in the breeze. Her seamless makeup was maddening, she looked like an unblemished Queen. I trail in the shadows behind her,…
