I saw someone writing about their child learning about symbolism at school a few weeks ago.

She was laughing and saying in the statement ‘the red door’ there is not always a symbolic reasoning for the door being red.

My opinion is that all writing is entirely imbued with symbolism and meaning.

I spend every morning with tea
Chai just means tea
A rebrand for the fam
Me and you and you and me
Tears and apostrophes

New poem about a new squid

What do you think?

Have some nice trees.

Take a moment. Refocus on your goals. Believe in a better world.

You got this.

Japanese painting of a shorthaired white bobtail cat with a red collar tied around its neck. It is crouched, playing intensely, attacking a length of blue ribbon that runs across the floor.

Great idea!

Black and white photo of a very happy looking little girl with a big smile, holding a white and tabby cat that doesn't seem to reciprocate her feelings at this moment as is trying to wiggle out of her arms. The girl is outside in a cobblestone alley, beautifully shiny and well-definite because its wet with rain, and a smiling woman stands watching her from a doorway in the distance.

Your first genie's wish should actually be infinite knowledge on how wishes work.

Writing prompt

I agree, but I think they should be used sometimes and sometimes not in all writing, rather than a hard 100% yes/no

Same here, though in a lot of my content work I get asked to edit them in

Interesting, I use them similarly

Agreed, I find it tricky to use them all the time, it’s often in the editing that I put them in 😄

Contractions, to use or not to use?

How, and when, and for what, do you think?

Is the recent fashion for using them in all writing useful?

Thoughts from writers, authors copywriters, teachers and everyone very welcome!

Haha true!

Haha me too, several toilets!

Standard

You know what smell really annoys me?

Incense sticks.

The Grinch - did you know they hired a torture councillor for Jim Carrey when he played The Grinch because the makeup was so intense!

Love the AI Artwork on AI Generated Nonsense

Haha those would be some informed kids!

I feel like people used to talk about snails a lot more

Maybe I should have concentrated on reading lists like this earlier on!

Thank you 😊

Anyone else in the U.K. being battered by repetitive flu at the mo?

Had it last week, then fine for a few days -and now it’s back with vengeance 😭

Did you know that some people don’t get goosebumps?

Do you?

I rarely get them but just found out I can give myself them on command!

That’s a good point, I have tried before but it’s never worked

I was saying that I agree with you saying ‘no no no’ but then again it’s a shame if I don’t pay because I’d lose my photos and messages
