I Didn’t see any of this Coming!
My week has ended, not with a bang but with a whimper from yours truly… Somehow, my one-job-at-a-time routine has gone dramatically wrong, and after such a brilliant beginning, too. I have so many irons in the fire again, and it must have crept up on me unawares, for I didn’t realise what had happened…

Growing Chances… #Poetry #TheSundayWhirl #Challenge
Someone is drawing circles in my mind My thoughts lost in a cloud I wonder through the hours thinking of a silent prayer hiding in the mist Whispered secrets conjuring seeds of growing chances My visions stained by my tears. I emerge, grateful to remember. faith, hope and charity. Looking through the rain stained window,…

One Happy Editor… #Editing
I know that most writers don’t look forward to editing; to be fair, we are writers, not editors. And, let’s face it, it can be daunting. Hard enough to write 50.000+ words in the first place and then have to edit these words, rereading them over and over again until you want to scream? I…

Is it Time to be thinking of Holidays?
The sun has been making more of an effort this week, and apart from several walks around the garden to see what needs doing, we have been thinking of getting away from it all for a bit this year, even for just a day. The Norfolk Broads was our very first family holiday. Two women,…

The Unrepeated Sin… for @The Sunday Whirl #Wordle644 #Poetry
An angel’s scream echoes across the universe. At the loss of his wings He sits and watches the sunset, a last-minute painting. As frenzied swirls of colour fill his mind, light lunges across the water. Sober bees go about their business. An urgent feeling of loss gripped the angel‘s heart. Words repeating in his mind.…
