I'm always on the lookout for great #WritingChallenges but also great #WritingCommunities ... Having competed in this year's quarterly #NotQuiteWritePrize I can honestly say that I've found both & recommend anyone else do as I've done ... Sign up for 2026 💜❤️😎 notquitewritepodcast.com/prize/#tickets

I didn't make the long-list of the October #NotQuiteWritePrize but I'm okay with that ... Sometimes you just have to have fun writing & that's exactly what I did 💜❤️😂😂 Although my story is probably the least-portable-story I've ever written, that's fine too 😂😂 (carefully steps back over the line 😱😂)

😂😂😂 LOL at this found #DadJoke #WordPlay #CreativeHumour 🌲🧑‍🎄😂😂 No #Christmas decorations up at the moment but tempted 🤔😱 ... How do people with traditional dates for this resist? (Post-Halloween, Post-Thanksgiving, 1st December) 🤔💜❤️🤗

I find stories with #TimeTravel tend to lean toward problematic #TimeParadox issues, however, as it's #DoctorWhoDay I thought I'd share this found #CreativeHumour #WritingInfluence #CreativeConundrum 🤔😱💜❤️😂😂😎

I know, I know ... And to those of you who say it's too early I say 'Bah Humbug' 👀😂😂

I love Christmas & some of my favorite films of all time happen to be #ChristmasMovies 🧑‍🎄💜❤️🤗 ... That reminds me ... "Alexa, play some Christmas songs" 🎼🎵🎶🧑‍🎄🤗😂😂

Today's found #CreativeHumour both made me laugh & gave me an idea for my #WhatIf #Ideation #ToBeWritten pile for revisiting at some point in the future 💜❤️😎 ... #CreativeWriters are never short of story ideas 🤔😂😂

I'm hoping this is true because if so it's going on my bucket list 💜❤️😎

🤔😱😂😂 More signs which remind you of the importance of including #WordSmiths #BetaReaders & #Editors in your life 💜❤️😎 ... Though, these are perfect with my quirky sense of humour 🤔😂😂😂

For me, the judging for the November #TwistedTournament is now complete. The standard of entries was very high, meaning that it was sometimes difficult to choose 1 over another 🤔😱 I'm now looking forward to the 2nd, 3rd and 4th of December when I see my own results and feedback 💜❤️😎

🤔😱😂😂 Sometimes you come across signs with such questionable grammar, punctuation & spelling they remind you of the importance of including #WordSmiths #BetaReaders & #Editors in your life 💜❤️😎

#250Word #TwistedTournament story complete (Though I still have some time to tweak it) 😎 ... I think I landed lucky with my prompts that suited my brain & gave me a relatively painless flow through Ideation, Creation and Editing 💜❤️😎 ... Next are the prompts tomorrow for the #24Hour #100Word story 🤔😱

I grew up in Loughborough, and at this time of year they always have a huge street fair 😎 ... For more info look at: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... 👀😎 ... A few years ago, I did a #CreativeWriting degree at #BoltonUniversity 💜❤️😎 & this was my attempt at a poem giving a flavour of #LoughboroughFair 🤔😱

Busy day today creating a #250 word story for the #TwistedTournament 😎... During my story resting time (while I let my subconscious consider the narrative and scream at me either 'That's Good' or 'WTF' 🤔😂😂) I found this #CreativeHumour 🎼🎵🎶💜❤️😎

That's a wrap on the #500Word #TwistedTournament story ... Thankfully, compared to last weekends rhyming story, this felt like a relatively painless flow through Ideation, Creation and Editing 💜❤️😎 ... Now to await the dropping of the potential prompts tomorrow for the #48Hour #250Word story 🤔😱

I wasn't sure I'd get through to R2 of the NYC Rhyming comp so having a long weekend with that, & straight into the #TwistedTournament #WritingCompetition is a shock to the system 🤔😱 ... Going to be another busy 6 days #CreativeWriting & 8 days #PeerJudging 💜❤️😎

Good luck to everyone taking part 🍀🤞😎

That was a weird, challenging & against the wire 72 hours creating a #500Word #GhostStory (not normally my forte) for R2 of the #NYCMidnight #RhymingStoryChallenge ... Anyone else late night #Editing 🤔💜❤️😎
Good luck to everyone else taking part 🍀🍀

R2 of the #NYCMidnight #RhymingStoryChallenge underway😎 (Ghost Story 😱👻🥺) I might have to do what I did in R1 & lean into the advice of Shannon Eilis in her blog on 'The Shape of the Poem' (hosted by Angel Editing) 💜❤️😎... www.angel-editing.com/post/the-sha...
Good luck to everyone else taking part 🍀

I'm not a fan of the non-celebrity traitors series' as they feel far more personal, bitchy & self absorbent 🥺 so I had my doubts about this celebrity version .... But I've loved it 💜❤️😎 ... Looking forward to the final tonight, though this will be dependant on getting Luna settled again 🐶🍀😎

I love fireworks but not when you have a pet visiting the house for the week who's petrified of loud noises 🐶😢 ... It's Nov 5th (UK Bonfire Night) so I suspect the fireworks will increase through into the weekend 🥺 .. Does anyone have any sensible advice on how to help nervous pets through them? 💜❤️🤗

In uni I had a lecturer who said that you should make every word & sentence count ... To earn its place in the #Narrative so this found #CreativeHumour made me chuckle 😂 (look into my 'own' green/blue eyes 💜❤️🤔😂)

I love this found bit of #LiteraryHumour 😂😂 ... I wonder if #Dickens ever considered using a #ProofReader #BetaReader #ARCReader or #Editor 💜❤️😎
