• 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 […]

• 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 […]

• Writing Tips From An Editor #3

  

  Showing and Telling This week I thought we would work on the difference between showing and telling in your writing. It makes a huge difference in how engaged your reader is, how likely they are to stay invested, and how well received your work will be.  It’s something I see a lot of when editing […]

• The Creeper of Dirt Alley – Writing Prompt

  Everyone knows to avoid Dirt Alley after dark.  A couple of years ago they put CCTV up at both ends in the hope that it might deter the incidents. Nothing changed.  The problem with Dirt Alley is that it isn’t straight, even though it looks that way on a map. You can’t see the opposite […]
