• 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…

• Writing Tips From An Editor #2

  

  Let’s talk about writing habits. Yes, some people have literary genius. They can catch a wave of inspiration, spit out a generational masterpiece in a few months, and then wait for the next ride.

• Mathew’s Box – Writing Prompt

  It was the driest summer since records began. The earth was scorched and barren, stripped of every last drop of moisture from the devilish heat of the sun. The sky was a deep, unrelenting, cloudless blue that beat down like the very gates of hell. Global warming, some said. The new normal, said others. River…

• Him

  In response to The Daily Three Things challenge. Silence, Quieten, Sedate. Reality collapses in. Thoughts that are not my own start tumbling across the surface of my mind like debris lashing around in a tornado. I reach for him.
