Shaking, I grabbed her hand and said, ‘in all this mayhem, you’ve stood out amongst the rest. I would love to offer you the job.’ Her smile spread across her face like a beacon of light. ‘Are you sure?’ ‘You are the best candidate we have seen so far.’ Tofurkey, its special aroma wafted fromContinue reading “It is a Tofurkey type of Christmas”

For Truthful Tuesday
I’m new to blogging, but as far as change goes, I have learnt as I go along. From the early days (a few months ago) I only posted snippets of my book and author advice. Not that I’m an expert, but I wouldn’t want anyone to fall in the pitfalls I have. My first bookContinue reading “For Truthful Tuesday”
For Simply Six Minutes – Family Reunion
Three years is a long time in our world. Bob had lived in another zoo only a few miles away, but the humans couldn’t meet up, so we went into our own isolation. My friend, my very best friend and life partner, brought me in for a hug. When we finally let go, we hadContinue reading “For Simply Six Minutes – Family Reunion”
A Snippet from It Won’t Happen Again
‘Were you close to your dad?’ For the first time that afternoon, Martha relaxed in her chair. ‘I loved his stories, and he was a good listener. Always there when I needed him. When I was being bullied, he would spend hours just making me feel better.’ ‘Tell me a little more about that.’ AnguishContinue reading “A Snippet from It Won’t Happen Again”
A New Beginning – A trio of Word Prompts
A waiting room with a view. Mountains, tall and silent, reflected on to the lake like a child’s drawing was painted underneath. Calm, quiet, and my thoughts focussed on the surgery I was about to embark on. I know what you’re going to say? Looks aren’t everything. But ever since I was a child theContinue reading “A New Beginning – A trio of Word Prompts”

Word Prompts – Celebrate, Life and Grateful
In my life I am grateful for my freedom. I live in a country where there is freedom of speech, and our successes can be celebrated. Women, as close as one hundred years ago, only just got the vote. We were seen as second class citizens. It took two world wars, to make the startContinue reading “Word Prompts – Celebrate, Life and Grateful”

The question is do I experiment, and the answer is probably no to most things. The one thing I have done, which I hadn’t written before was my play. I have always written longer pieces such as novels and novellas. When I was told about a playwright course I thought why not. They had theirContinue reading “https://weeklyprompts.com/2021/11/20/weekly-prompts-weekend-challenge-experiment/”
Life – Going Around in Circles
The two things I’m most proud of is that I’m responsible for bringing to lives into this world. As any parent realises, they only want the best for their children. We fight alongside them as children, but when they grow into adults we have to let them go their own way, just as our parentsContinue reading “Life – Going Around in Circles”
