Ahoy thar all! It’s that time, that sad, sorrowful time, wherein I show you the very last 10-minute short story I wrote as part of a writing workshop… Hope you enjoyed them!

Also, I believe I’m becoming addicted to Sunflower seeds. Better than getting addicted to Poppy seeds, right enough 😛

Story Prompt: A character needs to find the source of the noise (I may have tried to be overly smart with this one)

Lat nights were never good in the lab, especially now that Kevin’s overtime allotment had all been used up. He was now her eonly to prove that he was still good at his job, still worth something to the company. read more

Hello all! As promised, another short story from last week’s workshop! Quite looking forward to tonight’s writing group, as I’ll be presenting the final few pages of the script I’m writing for submission. It seems to have been well-received thus far!

Anyway, have a great week, and I’ll see you on Friday!

Specifically what has set me off this week was an old schoolmate who had made the comment that a footballer should not be campaigning against racism ‘because he is not black’, and said old schoolmate did not see the point in getting annoyed about racism. Said footballer is mixed race, and has been on the receiving end of racial abuse in the past. read more

A little short story

Hullo everybody!

So, yesterday I wandered along at the behest of a friend to try out another writers group. Unlike my main weekly group, where you bring along things that you’re working on and have them evaluated, this workshop was more along the lines of getting you thinking creatively, and giving you the opportunity to write. I wrote four shorts today, and bar any important news breaking, I’ll be parcelling them out here! So, here goes!
