#250Word #TwistedTournament story complete (Though I still have some time to tweak it) 😎 ... I think I landed lucky with my prompts that suited my brain & gave me a relatively painless flow through Ideation, Creation and Editing 💜❤️😎 ... Next are the prompts tomorrow for the #24Hour #100Word story 🤔😱

I grew up in Loughborough, and at this time of year they always have a huge street fair 😎 ... For more info look at: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... 👀😎 ... A few years ago, I did a #CreativeWriting degree at #BoltonUniversity 💜❤️😎 & this was my attempt at a poem giving a flavour of #LoughboroughFair 🤔😱

Busy day today creating a #250 word story for the #TwistedTournament 😎... During my story resting time (while I let my subconscious consider the narrative and scream at me either 'That's Good' or 'WTF' 🤔😂😂) I found this #CreativeHumour 🎼🎵🎶💜❤️😎

That's a wrap on the #500Word #TwistedTournament story ... Thankfully, compared to last weekends rhyming story, this felt like a relatively painless flow through Ideation, Creation and Editing 💜❤️😎 ... Now to await the dropping of the potential prompts tomorrow for the #48Hour #250Word story 🤔😱

I wasn't sure I'd get through to R2 of the NYC Rhyming comp so having a long weekend with that, & straight into the #TwistedTournament #WritingCompetition is a shock to the system 🤔😱 ... Going to be another busy 6 days #CreativeWriting & 8 days #PeerJudging 💜❤️😎

Good luck to everyone taking part 🍀🤞😎

That was a weird, challenging & against the wire 72 hours creating a #500Word #GhostStory (not normally my forte) for R2 of the #NYCMidnight #RhymingStoryChallenge ... Anyone else late night #Editing 🤔💜❤️😎
Good luck to everyone else taking part 🍀🍀

R2 of the #NYCMidnight #RhymingStoryChallenge underway😎 (Ghost Story 😱👻🥺) I might have to do what I did in R1 & lean into the advice of Shannon Eilis in her blog on 'The Shape of the Poem' (hosted by Angel Editing) 💜❤️😎... www.angel-editing.com/post/the-sha...
Good luck to everyone else taking part 🍀

I'm not a fan of the non-celebrity traitors series' as they feel far more personal, bitchy & self absorbent 🥺 so I had my doubts about this celebrity version .... But I've loved it 💜❤️😎 ... Looking forward to the final tonight, though this will be dependant on getting Luna settled again 🐶🍀😎

I love fireworks but not when you have a pet visiting the house for the week who's petrified of loud noises 🐶😢 ... It's Nov 5th (UK Bonfire Night) so I suspect the fireworks will increase through into the weekend 🥺 .. Does anyone have any sensible advice on how to help nervous pets through them? 💜❤️🤗

8th place in round 1 of the #NYCMidnight #RhymingStoryChallenge .... I'll take that 😎💜❤️ ... Now to wait nervously for round 2 prompts dropping tomorrow 🥺😱🍀🍀

In uni I had a lecturer who said that you should make every word & sentence count ... To earn its place in the #Narrative so this found #CreativeHumour made me chuckle 😂 (look into my 'own' green/blue eyes 💜❤️🤔😂)

I love this found bit of #LiteraryHumour 😂😂 ... I wonder if #Dickens ever considered using a #ProofReader #BetaReader #ARCReader or #Editor 💜❤️😎

After one sleepless night, much soul searching and navel gazing, mixed with clock changes and life getting in the way, it's in 😱💜❤️😎 Still got time to tweak my story but at least it's in 😳
Good luck to everyone else taking part in the #NotQuiteWritePrize 🍀🤞😎

In the midst of writing my #FlashFiction entry for the October #NotQuiteWritePrize & feel like I've landed as a #CreativeWriter when I find out that my #Infamy appears to have lead to a name-drop in a piece of #WritingRuleGuidance 💜❤️😱😂 IYKYK 😂😂 #WritingCommunity #CreativeWriting #WritersAndEdtors

👻😱😂 OMG folding fitted sheets does my head in 😱😂 ... I tried following a video once or twice on how to do it but, nope 🙄 ... That's probably why they end up rolled into a ball 😂😂💜❤️😎

If you ever questioned the need to use #BetaReaders and #Editors 💜❤️😎 consider this game/exercise 🤔 ... Sometimes the placement of a single benign word and/or the accentuation of one can completely change your narrative intent 🤔🙃😏😱

That was tricky 🤔 After not having so much as #WritersBlock but rather #BrainFreeze akin to downing 16 ice-creams on the trot (The Horror 😱💜❤️🤣) I've submitted my #500Word #FlashFiction to #TheBoobyPrize #WritingCompetition - I've taken a few risks with this but hopefully it lands well in judging 🙃😏😎

Just awoken to my prompts for the inaugural #500Word #BoobyPrize #WritingCompetition ... Now to bang my head against the desk for a while to see what ideas coalesce 🤔😂😂💜❤️😎

🤔😂😂 Scammer, Spammers and Cold-Callers can 'do-one' ... I usually ignore scam/spam emails. For calls, I can normally tell when it's a cold one coming in so ignore most of them ... Except when I'm bored 🤔😂 & then I love stringing them along keeping them busy and wasting their time 🤔😂😂💜❤️😎

October is Mental Health Awareness Month 🤔🙃, so it's quite apt that I've just returned from a long weekend away with the lads ... Boy, do I look tired, but I had a great time & definitely feel the benefits 😎.. Here's hoping my return to my #CreativeWriting is as equally good for my #MentalHealth 💜❤️😎
