Merry Christmas to all you wonderful bloggers. I am going to take a few days off, to spend with my family. I hope you all have a great few days.

Synopsis
This is an attempt at a synopsis. It isn’t finished yet, because it needs work before I send it to agents or publishers. I wrote ‘In the Dark’ because I want to highlight how dangerous drugs are, especially to teenagers. Mental health is a strong theme throughout the story. Sarah Masters is a regular youth;Continue reading “Synopsis”
Homeless
Written for https://girlieontheedge1.wordpress.com/2024/11/24/sundays-six-sentence-story-word-prompt-342/ Gripping on to Merlin, her guide dog’s harness, she stopped at Robert; homeless, and the solitary person she could trust. ‘You alright lass?’ he asked. Sarah’s shadows halted in their own solitary conversation. ‘Lay down,’ she said, and Merlin joined his Jack Russel pal on his cosy blanket. ‘Thanks for the coatContinue reading “Homeless”
Leave
Written for https://christinebialczak.com/2024/11/12/simply-6-minutes-welcome-to-the-challenge11-12-2024/ His name, lost to my ears, as the postman ran screaming from the porch. Not sure why, he was surprised. There was a warning on the mailbox. Leave by the plant; do not post through my letterbox, the allegator could bite. Bob is a lovely pet and is more loyal than anyContinue reading “Leave”
Freedom
I watch the Remembrance parade because I honour those soldiers who allowed me the freedom I have today. Each person, whether they fought in another country, or defending mine, each have my thanks. As a child, I saw my dad’s pain, watching his companions march past the cenotaph. A survivor, he remembered those that weren’tContinue reading “Freedom”
Tune
Written for https://wordofthedaychallenge.wordpress.com/category/word-of-the-day/ Practicing my singing in the mirror each note, more out of tune than the next respecting my wish to remain in a life full of freedom. Each song brings new courage, over, the tears about my day, maybe tomorrow I can share every negative hurt to Mum and Dad remembering, the bulliesContinue reading “Tune”
Cost of Living
Written for ‘For example, we can no longer afford to drive to work because our vehicle drinks too much diesel. We have to cut back. A ten-minute walk, that’s all.’ ‘That’s true, but if it is raining or snowing …’ Stan stared at his figures again, and said, ‘Yea, but we need to make someContinue reading “Cost of Living”
Night Light
A Haiku, written for the photo prompt https://mindlovemiserysmenagerie.wordpress.com/2024/08/27/photo-challenge-530/ A Cheshire like grin invisible in the day a night light of hope
Growing Up
Written for https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2024/08/26/share-your-world-26th-august/ Did you have an imaginary friend? No. I was mates with my neighbours’ younger kids. I would be round theirs, taking my blue bag of Cindy dolls, outfits, and furniture. Their collection was far bigger; which included a loft full of unboxed toys. He even converted his pigeon loft to a twoContinue reading “Growing Up”
Bucket List
Written for https://girlieontheedge1.wordpress.com/2024/08/25/sundays-six-sentence-story-word-prompt-329/ Am I considerd a relic? Nearly sixty, but watching a lady, at a hundred and two, going on a tandem parachute jump. Something I always wanted to do. Perhaps, it isn’t too late to write that bucket list. Parachute jump, publish my book, pass a GCSE exam. Not a relic, if sheContinue reading “Bucket List”
