As previously mentioned in 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.

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. Mum again wouldn’t write (because she is stubborn) and no one who wasn’t family came (because too many have met me). But triumphantly Tablet wrote,Continue reading “Christmas in July – Lisa’s”
KSP Exercise – POV
I may have been ignoring my blog but I’ve still been facilitating at KSP Writers’ Centre. Admittedly mostly Tabby and Alex but I believe technically there are considered people.

My piece.Continue reading “KSP A Dialogue Exercise”
50 Word Fight
A mean person; not mentioning any names Lisa, told me to write some 50 word stories for a competition and then forgot to send me the link. So it is up to you to judge me. Stop judging me ! Only joking, judge away! Fight! Ryan’s head hit tiles. Sam, normally quiet, could devastate withContinue reading “50 Word Fight”

Remember the fun exercise from Lisa at KSP. If not it’s here; KSP Presents Petal Pilots. We were practicing slashing word count.

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 outContinue reading “KSP Presents Petal Pilots”
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 […]
