He’s Arrived – The Amazing Race
I thought he was lost in the mail. I thought he may have been stolen by pirates or used as an unwitting drug mule by corrupt baggage handlers and was currently languishing in a dank jail cell (If you’re interested look up Shapelle Corby on Google); without my phone number. OMG why didn’t I send…

Monkey Hear Monkey Write
KSP Writer’s Circle didn’t have a writing exercise this morning but people were talking about a 49 word challenge. At the coffee break I let Mum make my cup of tea; it gives the old dear something useful to do. She paid me back by listening to things I randomly said last week and ruined…

We had to concentrate on dialogue and we had 3 options Gossip I can’t remember (no I can’t that wasn’t the prompt) A declaration (with the examples ‘of love’ or ‘ of war’ The contrast in the 2 examples resulted in; “Terry, it’s good…

The KSP Writer’s Circle challenge of this morning was to write a piece based on 3 words taken at random (in the form of words written on stones) from a jar. “Please God hear my prayer! Deliver me from the horrors of the ocean. And if it be thy will that I must die today;…

Here is my attempt: “Oh drat, not again!” Sam rechecked all his pockets for the fourth time. Sam opened his battered faux leather briefcase up on the quilted bed spread.…
