Portmanteau: Through The Ages

Categories:

Novels

by little

The new work in progress has me by the throat and bits and pieces pop into my head all the time. I have 4, maybe 5 tales to join “The Feet of Russell Chase” (of which more later) and now I’m throwing in challenges to myself. I know. As if its not hard enough. For …

A Little Drabble: Chef!

Categories:

drabble, Writing Progress

by little

Hannah was exhausted and it was only 7am.   It was worth it. The pain, the sleep deprivation, the constant name calling and even light bullying. She was learning in the kitchen of a true master and she was sure that one day she would gain the same recognition as him. “Right!” the head chef called. …

The Muse Strikes Again…

You see, this is why I don’t make New Year’s resolutions with regards to my writing (and I would have a link to a post here if I had actually finished writing it way back at the start of the year). Last week I felt that I had a number of plans for the year …

“As everyone knows, I’ve been ill of late. Your words of support have meant so much to me. The letters and emails have helped me in my battle back to health.” Leo P sat back in the radio studio and sighed. “Except that dirty fucker who not only stole my wife and made me ill …

Latest, Writing Progress

by little

Over the past week or so I’ve been trying to make a concerted effort to do more writing and editing. As usual, progress is sporadic but I have managed to write 7 drabbles in just over 2 weeks and last night wrote around 1200 words of the first of my books aimed at children. As …

A Little Drabble: Blackbirds

Categories:

Latest

by little

Those bastard blackbirds are sitting there waiting for me. Perched on the branches of the trees across the way they keep watching all day. Probably most of the night too, but not sure how their night vision is. Even if I can’t see them, I know they’re watching me. I close the damn curtains and turn …

A Little Drabble: Yesterday

Categories:

drabble, Writing Progress

by little

Yesterday was close to a perfect day. I woke up from a heavy sleep feeling both refreshed and ready for the challenges ahead. Breakfast was light but filling. The newspaper had not been delivered, and with no television or radio, bad news didn’t bother me. I decided to walk rather than drive, which was the right …

A Little Drabble: Downtime

drabble

by little

The first morning of his enforced annual leave, Duncan read all of the broadsheet newspapers. The afternoon saw him complete the tabloids and one edition of Maxim. Day two he decided to catch up on some dvds, but he made the mistake of cracking open a TV box set which took him through to evening on day …

A Little Drabble: Nonsense

 ”I mean, have you actually read the lyrics of this thing?” Robert asked, his indignence at its highest level. “Of course I have,” Wendy replied. “What sort of fan would I be if I” “Semolina pilchard, climbing up theEiffelTower? I mean, what the fudge?” “Look, there are several interpretations of the meaning, but at the …

A Little Drabble: Spinning

Categories:

drabble, Writing Progress

by little

Kathleen mounted the spinning bike and started her usual rapid breathing. This wasn’t due to any physical exertion but rather part of her warm up; her way to get into the zone. She kept up the almost hyperventilating performance until the music began. The instant she heard it, she pushed down hard on the pedals, …
