It’s poet’s choice of words this week. I’m going to have a go at a Shadorma as per the detail on Colleen’s blog: The Shadorma is a poetic form consisting of a six-line stanza (or sestet). Each stanza has a syllable count of three syllables in the first line, five syllables in the second line, three syllables in the third and fourth lines, […]
It’s nice to welcome Colleen back after her break finding and settling in to her new home in Arizona. I’ve missed writing poetry but I’ve been super busy getting feedback back from my early readers and beta readers on my WIP: The Curse of Time Book 2 Golden Healer. The synonyms I’ve chosen for beginning are dawn, and for consume […]
Red Jade is one of many intriguing crystals in my debut novel. Of course, the crystals in my novel are extraordinary gems, magical crystals conjured up by my imagination! They represent the light, or potential happiness of the protagonists within, whereas shadows represent darkness, deception and sadness. The Curse of Time is a novel of light and dark, so […]
Here’s my piece of flash: Imaginary Characters Brick fitted in the space well. It was narrow, like a cupboard to slot in, a place to be noticed. Brooke Trout sauntered past him. When she saw Brick her eyes opened wide. He smirked at her bemused expression. She didn’t notice but he followed her up the escalator. When she exited out […]
For this I have imagined one of my characters, Ryder, from The Curse of Time Book 1 revealing a snippet of a story which I might use in future books. The Ride It began with a rocking horse, a child’s toy. Ryder discovered this antique treasure in a quirky street window, down ‘the lanes,’ in Brighton. He strolled […]
Who am I? A curious cat muse. Each day is a discovery. I am five again, and my nine lives are creeping away… Time is ticking and I yowl to tell stories, so dear MJ grasps her keyboard and pounds the keys, stealing seconds, minutes and moments. No wonder MJ writes about time: time is precious, each day offers vast adventures. Writing has taught her to embrace and explore every […]
Today, I am thrilled to share with you details of a crystal that I have recently discovered. Chiastolite Chiastolite is such a fascinating crystal! I have chosen to feature it in the second book in the Curse of Time YA Fantasy series. This current work in progress stands in the region of 70,000 words. I am very excited about […]
Well done to all the winners of The Carrot Ranch Sound and Fury Flash competition. I’m so pleased to hear that my lovely friend Ritu won third prize. Here’s the link to the winning entries. https://carrotranch.com/2018/12/14/rodeo-5-sound-and-fury-winners/ Here’s my entry – I didn’t win… I got the fury but forgot the sound effects! Lol. How’s your day been?’ ‘Exhausting, but […]
This is my entry for Blog Battle, it is a poem so hope that is okay! I didn’t have time to write a full story as I didn’t get home from work until 7.30pm and the prompt seemed to scream poem, poem, poem! I had the idea for this poem whilst walking to work this morning. I often get inspiration […]
Hi all, Some of my more regular blog visitors might have noticed that I haven’t been posting, commentating, engaging in social media, etc, as much recently. This pains me a lot. Sigh. But, sadly this will continue indefinitely while I am writing/editing the second book in the series The Curse of Time. I can’t write, blog, and work in a demanding […]
