Hello everyone. As you'll perhaps know from reading recent posts, I appear to be bleeding readers. I don't have many regular ones as it is and they've all but evaporated. My main concern is that they're all okay and that it's for no bad reason they aren't around to read and interact with my posts … Continue reading A Lease of Life…?
I won’t say I don’t have a specific topic to talk/whinge about; there are always things I can delve into and cast my much-valued opinion on. However, this last month has been very writing-orientated due primarily to my rewriting of a large portion of my manuscript, which, if you didn’t know already, is entitled The … Continue reading Living the Dream Part 26 (Riding the Wave)
So, here I am again. Another year older and wiser. By the time this auto-posts, I should be hungover and getting myself ready for round two of my celebratory birthday drinking sessions. There seems to be this fear people hold in reserve when it comes to growing older. They fear the aging process because age … Continue reading Thirty-Five and Counting
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear! What have I done? Someone should put me on a procrastination ban!Whilst sat at work, I was passively thinking about my novel, Seas of Vengeance, and, out of absolutely nowhere, thought to myself, “Hey, I think this story arc would work better than the existing one”. On my lunch … Continue reading Living the Dream Part 25 (Here We Go Again!)
Ryan’s eyes snapped open. The noise was very familiar, yet extremely foreign. He climbed from bed and approached the window then just as quickly ducked as he did and made his way back over to the bed. “George! George! Wake up,” he whispered whilst gently shaking her. She stirred and shot him a disapproving look … Continue reading ASAS: Survival of the Fittest–Chapter Twelve
It was well into the small hours of the morning before the truck came to a stop. Kas was too exhausted to carry on driving. Jay thought about taking over from him, but instead decided on everyone resting up. They happened across a large house on a hill about a mile away from a sizeable … Continue reading ASAS: Survival of the Fittest–Chapter Eleven
For the first time in what feels like absolutely ages, I’m doing a LtD post about writing! *Faints* One thing that bugs me while I’m tapping away at my keys is always being conscious of shoehorning myself into a trap of word repetition. I absolutely hate it! If two consecutive sentences start with the same … Continue reading Living the Dream Part 24 (Crutch)
Leaving the town had proven easier than any of them could have hoped. The truck was a heavy, cumbersome thing; it had no problem in flattening any lurcher that stood in its path. Within a matter of minutes they were out onto clear roads. Darkness quickly fell. Ryan stared out of the window and looked … Continue reading ASAS: Survival of the Fittest–Chapter Ten
We met in primary school. I didn’t like her at first. I can’t recall exactly why now it was so long ago, I just know that I didn’t. The dislike didn’t last long. We began to talk one day in class and became bosom buddies in the space of one afternoon. That friendship endured throughout … Continue reading Best Friends’ Wedding (Flash Fiction)
The message was passed to all that they’d be on the move soon. There were protests, as was expected; however, nobody was going to argue with the fact that staying was simply untenable if the town was about to be reclaimed by the undead. Jay confirmed that they’d be leaving around sunrise the next day … Continue reading ASAS: Survival of the Fittest–Chapter Nine
