NaNoWriMo day 21/22 – another step forward
I actually published the first parts of my work in progress ‘Pink’ on WattPad tonight. Just a cover, description and the first four chapters. It was a pretty hard thing to do, because so far I’ve always kept my writing to myself. This is my fourth novel and yet it will be the first that …

The red angel
This is one of my #seizeThePen projects and you can go see the rest here. This is just a rough draft, but I hope you guys enjoy. People like to look past children, mark them off as unthreatening. After all when you are a tall soldier with a massive sword in your hand the …
Catching your breath. (A magic battle)
Earlier today I shared a post on the sense of taste. In it I gave you a prompt to write a fight scene with the sense of taste playing a large role. I wrote my own scene for this prompt and thought I should share. Fila walked into the arena aware of all …
