Christmas in July – Lisa’s
KSP Writer’s Centre A.K.A. The greatest writing centre in the world were having a literary dinner the evening of my Tuesday Writers Circle. So I made that our writing theme.

KSP Exercise – POV

KSP Presents Petal Pilots
Another fun exercise from Lisa at KSP. We were practicing slashing word count. The topic was ‘Petals or Pilots! 20 minutes. ‘‘Darling, can you believe how harsh Flight Commander Greyson was in this morning’s briefing.’ ‘That man becomes a beast when he puts that uniform on,’ replied Harry. ‘He can be quite the beast out…

I Hate Hoomans! part 5.
I have been working hard on a competition run by KSP Writers’ Centre and the City of Mandurah called “Story Horse”. I was trying to edit it down from 2175 words down to 2000 which is what I thought I remembered the limit was. I cut it down to 2069 and then corrections brought it…
