My Fourth Mini #Bloganuary

Since I’m too lazy to post every day, here are my thoughts on the past week’s # Bloganuary prompts. 22nd Jan: What is your favourite quote and why? “The presence of those seeking the truth is infinitely to be preferred to the presence of those who think they’ve found it.” This nugget of wisdom is is … Continue reading My Fourth Mini #Bloganuary

Bunny’s Warren

Part 3 of Bunny. The opening to Beethoven’s Fifth chimed down the hall of the neat mid-terrace. Inside was unnaturally tidy. An upright piano shared the under-stairs space with the electricity meter, and the living room had an open fireplace. The mantlepiece was empty except for a clock with a crack that forked across the … Continue reading Bunny’s Warren

A Cheat’s #Bloganuary week 3

Since I don’t aspire to blog daily, I’m only offering my first thoughts about the week’s prompts. 15th Jan: What is a life lesson you feel everyone can benefit from learning? Whoever told you life would be fair? They lied. Life isn’t fair. It’s never going to be fair, but this doesn’t mean you have … Continue reading A Cheat’s #Bloganuary week 3

At the end of last year, I was greatly cheered by winning the Eyrie Press short story competition.

Bunny Blues

Part 2 of Bunny. Mr Warren was off for two weeks. Word was that he’d been in an accident; his sick note mentioned ribs. Nobody knew where he lived.

Bunny

In the absence of further blogging inspiration, here’s part 1 of a short story (loosely) inspired by the character of the White Rabbit from a writing group prompt. Bunny “Could we divert a library assistant to shelve these returns while I’m at the book meeting? Celia is familiar with their classification.” “I expect it’s time … Continue reading Bunny

#Bloganuary (somewhat late).

To galvanise me into action, I’m taking up the WordPress Bloganuary challenge but with a proviso. Since… a) I came to this challenge late, b) I don’t aspire to blog daily, c) I have other things to do… I’ll be looking over the week’s prompts and only rambling on about those that interest me (or … Continue reading #Bloganuary (somewhat late).
