Writing 101, Day One: Unlock the Mind

I’m taking part in a new Challenge during this month of June: Writing 101. Today’s assignment is ‘loosening up’ for twenty minutes writing via the ‘stream of consciousness’ technique for twenty minutes!

It was the first of June…

Today is the first of June, a memorable day for Jane Eyre. It was the day Jane decided to return to Thornfield one last time and search for Edward Rochester, before leaving England, probably to move to Ireland: It was the first of June; yet the morning was overcast and chilly: rain beat fast on […]

Splash!

I wanted to seize that ephemeral moment of a splash with my camera. So I picked up a seashell I had brought back home from the beach, threw it in my pool, and captured the splash. The whitish circle on the left of the photo is the seashell, which caused the ripples and now rests […]
