Thought i'd do an intro post as i'm more active here now! I'm a UK based writer of flash fiction, screenplays, prose & notebook scribbles. I love movies and all kinds of music (saw Blue & Slipknot in the same week.) Avid NUFC fan. Believe in integrity and being nice to people!

The #measure of everything
Should really be nothing
Because it is within us
That all already exists.

Greetings! I didn't want to wake up this morning,but here I am with today's word - #literature. According to Collins that is any writing of artistic merit,which isn't much help when deciding on the genre of my books.Are they literary or pulp fiction?
I may go back to bed now.

I’d almost forgotten this is what it feels like to be a Newcastle fan.
I’m going back to bed.

Some Newcastle fans moaning Hall should be playing full matches. Because obviously you throw a player who’s been out injured for about 8 months* straight back into a full 90 minutes of football. 🙄

* I can’t remember how long he’s been out for, don’t come at me

GMM: A story that read like someone trying to escape their living fever dream of profound loneliness.
TR: A short, sharp story about getting a taste of your own medicine and the remorse that comes with learning.

I love reading and the worlds it opens up to you!

Even what is lost,
Retains its #language.
Through recollection,
Aches,
Joys,
Sadness,
Laughs,
Remain as moments
Etched in the memory
Of what was said.

She hoped the meaning was not lost in the #language.
She was unpicking the riddles
Causing confusion and friction
Had it been heard? She hoped to hear.
This was a pause for 6 weeks not a stop.
A time in which she hoped for faith over fear.
To dissolve what may block Christmas cheer.

I have lit my woodwicked candle which crackles, put on my big winter fluffy socks and am in my favourite cardigan. Winter is here and i'm not mad one bit.

If the wounds of our past
Are taking shots along this path
We are extending the journey,
Lost in the #geography
Pushing away the end.

Perhaps a pause…
To clear up our #history?
So it can’t pinch
at the flowers of the future
Which are aching to bloom.

Good morning! The next word from my Xword book index is #geography - not one of my better subjects from school, though I enjoyed drawing maps.
I still prefer real maps - if I don't know where I am now, how can GPS tell me where to go next?

Apathy is so dangerous. Seeing the voter turn out numbers go up so much for this guy is a relief.

Change will not happen over night but it is starting to happen. Momentum is everything.
Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

Farage, who was paid £189,000 in January to promote gold bullion in his spare time, is currently wanging on about how out of touch the Labour frontbench is. Ok
