      Writing Wednesday is here again and like I promised things are a little Christmasy! I’m not a huge Christmas fan, but working for ages in retail tends to kill the joy of Christmas for you. I like the family time, I hate the lead up. Anyway, today’s prompt for you: Your character wakes up to find themselves in a snow storm…in the middle of summer! What do they do? Write it out and see what you can get from it. Have a crack at it, it’s not that Christmasy but it’s early days yet. Good luck! Send in your entires as usual and I’ll give them a look over…

    The last week of NaNoWriMo is here! Woohooo. It’s all about finishing off and validating. How close are you do getting there? Today’s Writing Wednesday prompt is all about finishing a race (because, seriously, NaNo is a race!) Your character has just clawed their way through to the end of the race, what happened before getting there? Why are they all bloody and looking desperately for safety? Who was chasing them? I feel like zombies are about to be taken advantage of. How cool are they? Send me a your try for a chance to get free editing!

    Week three of NaNoWriMo. Things should be starting to pick up again. You should, hopefully, be liking your story again. I love this part of NaNo, purely because it gets fun again and you don’t think you’ve made a fool out of yourself. Today’s Writing Wednesday prompt is about loss. It also is the 7 month anniversary of my Dad passing. Miss you, Dad. Watching the news your character finds out that their best friend has just been involved in a terror attack. They were in the exact place as the exact time that the reporter has just mentioned. How does your character react? What do they do? Send me…

    Welcome to another week. It’s Week Two of NaNo. Mostly it’s all starting to turn into you hating your writing, but keep going, it gets better. I promise! Today’s prompt is one of my favourite. Here it is: Faeries are real. They don’t have wings and they’re not made out of sugar and spice, but in fact made of lust, sex and cunningness. There are two courts, the light and the dark, your character has to decided which one they want to live in and why! Send me your attempts for a chance for free editing.

    It’s the first week of NaNo! So this Writing Wednesday prompt comes from the thick of it. It’s been a bit crazy but so worth it. I hope you’re all having a ball because I know I am. Here’s this week’s prompt: Your character has stumbled along into a dream and it’s back to a time where electricity didn’t even exist. It’s prehistoric times and there are dinosaurs! What do you have them do? Send in your tries for free editing.

      I’ve been working at the show and today was supposed to be about me getting on top of things, and mostly I did, offline, so that’s something. Not long to go but I promise that thing will go back to normal real soon. Thanks for all being patient though. Here’s today’s Writing Wednesday prompt. You’re character is a fair and they spot their crush, what do they do next? Let me know what you come up with. I’ve been clearly in show mode so hence the fair prompt. I hope you all have a lovely Wednesday.

      So I missed Sharing Sunday, I was super busy with going to the color run with my Mum and then having my godson and his parents and grandma come over for dinner and I was busy swooning over his pretty little head that it totally slipped by me! Now that I’m back in Melbourne I’m adjusting to being back better, looking for a car and generally trying to get back on track (can you say going back to the gym hurts, ouch!) but I’m here and ready wit today’s writing prompt! Think fire, candles, pyromania. Your characters is a pyromaniac, what is three things that they would torch first…

      Today’s Writing Wednesday Prompt is about magic. I’m starting to watch the Harry Potter movies again (it probably means I’m about due to re-read the books but I am a snob and can’t read anything before book 3!) and all that is been on my mind is magic! So bear with me, I promise it’ll be fun. Your character wakes up in the middle of a dream, only to find out that it really wasn’t a dream. Magic is real and Harry Potter is no where in sight, what do you do? What is the first power that your character has? Have fun with it! Let me know how…
