I didn’t really have any idea what I wanted to write this week (I know, I’m shocked too, it’s not like I do that nearly every week). However this idea first struck me whilst I was writing a short story prompt that I’d set in some kind of post apocalyptic future, and then struck me … More Life Should Be About More Than Just Surviving
Prompt: “Describe something you wanted badly and, once you got it, never used.” It was an art set, one of those ones that came in an attractive box with a built-in easel. It had all sorts of different art supplies, all in their own drawers. It had pencils of all different grades, colouring pencils, acrylic … More #35. The Art Set
Prompt: “You are going to appear on a talk show. The producer comes backstage to elicit a funny story that the host should focus on. Write the story like a monologue you are giving for national TV.” Okay, so this story is one of my absolute favourite stories, it’s one that I like to tell … More #26. The Incident With The Iron
Waiting. It seems like we do a lot of it doesn’t it? We wait for buses, for trains, for taxis, for planes. We’re taught from a very young age how to wait; ‘wait your turn,’ ‘wait until Christmas,’ ‘wait until your father gets home.’ The thing about waiting is that you’re expecting something to happen … More #21.

No matter the circumstances however, leaving home is always a pretty steep learning curve. I left home at 18 to go to university, and it … More #20. Leaving Home
Okay, so this is very late tonight, because I am a disorganised mess who decided to have a last minute social life. Ooops. How the other half lives. For me that sentence conjures up ideas of complete polar opposites, the extremely poor and the extremely rich. I don’t consider myself as either of those two things, … More #19. How The Other Half Lives
“Sorry” by Halsey is one of my absolute favourite songs at the moment, and I find it such an interesting song that this is the one I’ve decided to write about. One thing that draws me to this song, especially when I play it as part of one of my playlists, is its pure simplicity. … More #17. Write About A Song
Emily had always been a messy person. The kind of person who always had a mixture of clean and dirty clothes strewn across their bedroom floor. The kind of person that has a hoard of dirty dishes on every surface, some of them so old the cultures growing in them could class as a science … More #16. A Hopelessly Messy Person And An Obsessively Neat Person Become Roommates.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. At least that’s what the health experts tell us. Unfortunately, I often forget to eat breakfast, usually because I’m such a disorganised mess in the morning and would rather have an extra 20 minutes in bed than worry about eating. This morning however, I had no … More #15. What You Ate For Breakfast
Paris was supposed to be a romantic city ‘The City of Love’ it had been dubbed by so many people. On that day it didn’t feel very romantic, not to her at least. It was her first time in the city. She’d been called there on a last-minute business trip, to meet with an important … More #14. That Day In Paris
