The Dream (Stories on a Theme – “Hope”)

August 30, 2020

You write for the younger you. For the younger you who always dreamed but never believed you really could. For the younger you who wished with all of her heart to create a dream. For the younger you who saw no limits. For the younger you who still dreams today. For the you that still … More The Dream (Stories on a Theme – “Hope”)

Future – (Stories on a Theme – “Hope”)

August 29, 2020

It’s impossible to know what the future will hold. It’s impossible to ascribe a value to that future – a good or bad, a right or wrong. Because it’s not known. You can’t tell whether the decision you make today will be the right or wrong. All you can do is make the best decision … More Future – (Stories on a Theme – “Hope”)

Peace (Stories on a Theme – “Hope”)

August 28, 2020

“What do you think?” Ilyen asked, taking another bite out of his dinner. The burrito juice dribbled out of the end of the paper wrapping, spilling onto the metal of the car. It sizzled gently when it hit. “Think?” Gyn replied, looking over at his husband with confusion. “Of the view,” Ilyen asked, gesturing out … More Peace (Stories on a Theme – “Hope”)

New Day (Stories on a Theme – “Hope”)

August 27, 2020

Sun bursts through the curtains. You wake up, eyes still full of sleep and head still full of dreams. You slowly recognise it is morning as you roll over in the covers to turn off your alarm. Another morning. Another day full of possibility. You look up at the ceiling, feeling the weight of your … More New Day (Stories on a Theme – “Hope”)

A Green World (Stories on a Theme – “Hope”)

August 26, 2020

Nadine woke to the sound of birds singing. It was still weird, to hear that instead of the constant hum of the city traffic. Even after fifty years of the banning of fossil fuels, she still expected to hear the thrum of engine noise. Not that she’d change it for anything. This world was once … More A Green World (Stories on a Theme – “Hope”)

Fighting (Stories on a Theme – “Hope”)

August 24, 2020

You can smell it in the air when you wake. The vicious smell of hopelessness and hatred. You can feel it on your lungs. It aches like a weight, pushing down on every breath, forcing you to struggle. It’s like it wants you to feel the rush of air into your lungs, it wants you … More Fighting (Stories on a Theme – “Hope”)

Time is Relative (Monday Inspiration)

August 10, 2020

Sure, some people write their novels faster than others. Some people started the journey sooner, and so have already shown signs of success. Others have been at it for years, and are now reaping the rewards. Time is relative to each journey. Each person comes to the journey with their own barriers and difficulties they … More Time is Relative (Monday Inspiration)

It Will Happen (Monday Inspiration)

July 13, 2020

You might not feel it today, but your dreams will happen. It might feel like an uphill battle today, but tomorrow you will be three steps further up the mountain. It might feel long, but the day after tomorrow you will marvel at how far you’ve come. It might feel tiring, but you can envisage … More It Will Happen (Monday Inspiration)

A World, Changed (March Update)

March 31, 2020

I spent a long time debating what to title this blog. “A World in Chaos”. “A World in Panic”. “A World gone mad”. But I decided to go with “A World, Changed”. Because yes, the spread of Corvid-19 is creating a situation unprecedented in the modern world. Quarantine. Social Distancing. Shops and spaces closing down. … More A World, Changed (March Update)

It is the loss of an expectation, the loss of a hope, that crushes the happier part of your soul. … More Flash Fiction – Disappointment (From the Archives)
