May 18, 2017 20 Comments

Colleen’s prompt words this week, power and allure are just up my alley! So here’s a short extract from my YA fantasy manuscript followed by a haiku. The Curse of Time: The Bloodstone – excerpt. Stealing a glance at Ryder I drew in a sharp breath. I had been so absorbed in the drama back at the river that I hadn’t […]

The prompt words really attracted me to Ronovan’s Haiku Challenge this week…. (It’s a long time since I’ve joined in as I have been so busy!) as they relate beautifully to my manuscript – The Curse of Time, which I am close to finishing! I’m doing what I hope are the final edits – you never know if it is truly completed […]

I’m in the mood for poetry today! Started off writing two Tanka poems for Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday and then realised I hadn’t done anything for Valentine’s. To remedy this faux pas I decided to take a gander at Ronovan’s prompt words this week hoping they were a little valentine related and sure enough Eye and Fade were perfect, so I wrote […]

March 12, 2016 28 Comments

Ronovan’s prompt words this week, class and firm seem to be very appropriate judging by my new part-time role working in a primary school. It’s been quite a week. We’ve had rain, fog, cold days, mishaps, sharing issues, arguments, little fights and then…. one day this week the fire alarm went off during the lunch break and the little ‘uns were […]
