Wow - writers - what a fantastic offer from Curtis Brown Creative - A *free* lesson in how to write a gripping opening to your narrative, long or short... get in there!!

Giving up on the other place, Blue thingy. Every day it’s such a waste of time blocking unwanted followers- and no way of stopping them. Usually so called single men, or single bots! Disappointed.

Our first 🎤 in 2025 - new writers very welcome tickets : wegottickets.com/WordKitchen to bag a reading spot contact me.

Happy camper at jaipurlitfest and Crossword Bookstores #TheInheritance HopeRoad 💃🏻

Writers- in need of a deceptively simply named challenge? Flash Fiction is anything but simple. And so fascinating - endlessly morphing and switching in shape. Brilliant for zapping writers block too but that’s another story. Join us!

Finger in the wind- Russia ends war. Keeps all territory. Trump “negotiates” rare earth sole supply from Ukraine. Sends 50% back to Russia. Russia sells oil to USA in return. Trump gets Nobel Peace Prize. Some years hence, Russia tries again.

My novel began as a piece of flash fiction. That became a short story. That became the novel… flash fiction can be amazingly powerful, with the potential to take you over! Beware!

Huge fun at Clue Cracker in Tunbridge Wells with the grandkids!

Submissions for Issue 3 close on March 31st. Get writing!

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.
