After seeing quite a few trailers for #TheElectricState I've had it on my watch list as a 'curio' π€ ... I finally watched it last night π Although it's got some predictable #ScriptWriting #Narrative components & some scathing reviews it's quirky & fun ππβ€οΈ

I haven't entered the #FuriousFiction #WritingCompetition for about 6 months as my head hasn't been in the right (write) space ... Hopefully the judges like my efforts π€π€πβ€οΈ
Good luck everyone else taking part ππ

Love the #FuriousFiction #WritingCompetition as it always has interesting prompts π€π€ Need to work out if my head is in the right space to develop & create a narrative worthy of it this weekend π€π±πβ€οΈ

For me, the judging for the March #TwistedTournament is now complete π ... The standard of entries was very high, meaning that it was sometimes difficult to choose 1 over another π€π± I'm now looking forward to the 13th, 14th and 15th of April to see my own results and feedback πβ€οΈπ #WritingCommunity
Although it's been a difficult week (or 10 ... IYKYK π) sometimes writing can be cathartic occupying your mind on other things π€πβ€οΈ Despite being close to a couple of DNF's I submitted 3 complete stories for this ... Now onto the judging π€
Good luck everyone talking part ππ #WritingCommunity
Best of luck to you too ππ€
I haven't written much lately due to some stuff going on in life ... Hoping this #NYCMidnight #MicrofictionChallenge100 will help as a mini diversion though writing a fairy tale with potential world building aspects is especially challenging in 100 words π±π€
Good luck everyone else taking part ππ€ πβ€οΈπ
I wasn't longlisted in the #NotQuiteWritePodcast FleshFiction #WritingCompetition but I'm extremely proud of the spotlight they awarded me πβ€οΈππ. Writing smut is not my usual forte so colour me intrigued at what the judges saw in my attempt. For now, the title & my pseudonym will remain a mystery π€π
Despite a challenging weekend I managed to cobble together some thoughts into a semblance of a narrative while on the road ππ€πβ€οΈπ ... Good luck to everyone else taking part π€π

Interesting prompts for round 2 of the #NYCMidnight #MicrofictionChallenge250 #WritingCompetition π€π I have 48 hours to deliver but need to get a shift on today as I'm out travelling tomorrow. ππβ€οΈ

Well that was a surprise ... I wouldn't say it was my finest work & I pushed the prompt boundaries a tad, but I'm through to round 2 of the #NYCMidnight #MicrofictionChallenge250 #WritingCompetition πππ

Interesting blog on 'Showing vs Telling' which is pertinent for poetry & short-form storytelling (6word / 50word / 100word) ππβ€οΈ: wix.to/xaZ93a2

That was tricky but it's in. My 1st 500 words didn't cut it and neither did my 2nd idea. What's been submitted is a bit of a weird left field narrative. Here's hoping the judges like it π€ππβ€οΈπ
Good luck everyone else taking part ππ

And away we go with the 1st #NotQuiteWritePrize #WritingCompetition of 2026 π€π±π I haven't written much over the last few months so hoping this kickstarts my brain into a year of writing frenzy π±πβ€οΈ Good luck everyone else taking part ππ

I wasn't sure at 1st but ended up loving this 'gruesome alternative' of #AliceInWonderland ... Or should I say rather, that, Yes Christina Henry used some names which makes it feel familiar but OMG, she then took the known & expected tale down a dark alley leaving blood (& worse) in her wake ππ«£π±πβ€οΈ

As a writer & fan of Lee Child, this was a great Christmas gift π Although its primary content is the 'story behind the stories' (ideation) you also gain insight into his writing processes (it seems he's a pantser rather than plotter which surprised me) π€π±πβ€οΈπ
