Day 71 Standing at the cliff edge, her scream of rage was rendered #unfathomable by the wind. On the horizon, a ship sailed away, taking with it the man she'd thought she'd loved. A voice reached up from the water offering her power. Vengeance. Falling forward, she took it. Day 72 The odds of suceeding … Continue reading VSS365 Week 11

VSS365 Week 10
Day 64 They took on #seagull form, circling the town as they sought out their target. It didn't take long for them to find him, the stupid mortals were parading him in the streets as if he weren't a deity to be worshipped, a force to be unleashed. Cawing, they report back to her Day … Continue reading VSS365 Week 10

Day 57 Even the #vermin taunted him, running in and out through the bars of his cell, rubbing their freedom in his face. If he could just catch one, maybe he could summon enough magic to transform into one and make his escape. Still as a statue, he watched, waiting. Day 58The #destination had never really … Continue reading VSS365 Week 9
VSS365 Week 8
Day 50"What is your #purpose? Why are you here?" The Princess demands, hands on her hips as she waits for an answer. I don't give her one, my eyes on the floor as if I can will her to disappear. "I'll just scream for the guards then shall I?" "No!" "So you can speak." Day 51Jonah screamed and … Continue reading VSS365 Week 8
VSS365 Week 2
Day 8 Jan 8thHanjae stood by the window, hidden slightly behind the thick red folds of the curtain despite the fact that no-one below would be able to see in. The quiet in his study was all consuming but opening it would only bring shouts of #usurper and he didn't want to hear them. Day … Continue reading VSS365 Week 2
Old Prompts Vol 1
I recently found a stash of old prompts I'd written and thought it might be interesting to write them up on here and see what people think. They're not dated, but I think age wise they're from around 2010-2014. At a guess, anyway, since I know some of them were posted on my DeviantArt which … Continue reading Old Prompts Vol 1

Last year I posted weekly progress reports and I thought I'd do the same this year as well! 01.11.19 Friday Goal: 1667 Achieved: 1771 Off to a good start, but it all kind … Continue reading NaNoWriMo Days 1-7
You vs The Word Count
Comparing yourself to others NaNoWriMo is right around the corner and before we get there, there's something I want to say. 50,000 words is the word count goal. It's what 98% of Wrimos are going to be aiming to reach by the end of November. But you know what? It's OK if you don't. There's … Continue reading You vs The Word Count
VSS365 Week 31
Day 211Anthony was hurt and it didn't matter that he wasn't mine. I darted to his side but he cupped my face and told me to run. "No, you need help. You're bleeding." Day 212#Jupiter shone brightly overhead. To most it would look like just another star, but Anthony had pointed it out to me. … Continue reading VSS365 Week 31
2019 Goals Check in
Back at the beginning of the year I posted a list of things I wanted to achieve in 2019 and I thought it could be fun to take a look at them again now and see whether my goals have stayed the same or shifted slightly. My goals for the New Year: - Finally make some … Continue reading 2019 Goals Check in
