Day seven and I’m still here, although it’s been a long day and I almost forgot today’s post! Let’s hope I get it finished before I fall asleep! Today is ‘F’ day and, after much internal deliberation, the word inspiration for the day is ‘French kiss’ and is used in a little flash fiction. “Crap,ContinueContinue reading “French kiss”

Escort.
Today’s post is brought to you by the letter ‘E’… and the ‘e’ word, escort. A few months ago I read an article on a male escort service operated by two women from Melbourne, Australia. I was intrigued, and I’ve been following their blog (dearaphroditeblog.blogspot.com.au) for a while now (an excellent source of inspiration!). SoContinueContinue reading “Escort.”
Danse du Ventre
Welcome to ‘D’ day. Today’s inspiration, brought to you by the letter ‘D’, is danse du ventre. The English translation of danse du ventre is belly dance. There are, apparently many conflicting theories as to when and where belly dance originated, but it is thought to be one of the oldest forms of dance, andContinueContinue reading “Danse du Ventre”
Cheating.
Today’s ‘C’ word is cheating… and I’m introducing you to Greta Jones in a little dialogue exercise (and yes, I’m also slightly cheating as I’ve had this piece written for a while!). Greta is 24 and works as a secretary in a small law office in a small country town. She’s married to James Jones andContinueContinue reading “Cheating.”
Bad Sex!
Today is day two of the A-to-Z Challenge and my inspiration phrase is: bad sex! We’ve all had it… and yet in many romance novels all the sex is good (really good…!) so I thought it would be fun to try something different. Note that adult content follows below. Taking a deep breath, she wriggledContinueContinue reading “Bad Sex!”
Aphrodisiac…
Oh wow… it’s been a day and, for a few hours this afternoon, I thought I wasn’t going to make day one of the A-to-Z Challenge. But I did… It’s not particularly polished but I’ve got a little snippet below! Today’s word inspiration is, as the title of this post suggests, aphrodisiac. And did you knowContinueContinue reading “Aphrodisiac…”
Promises, promises…
When I last dropped by my own site, I had all the good intentions in the world. I was going to be more diligent with my writing, be more active on the site, and on social media, and generally be more present. And all that would have happened if my Mum didn’t wind up inContinueContinue reading “Promises, promises…”
Time stands still… please!
OMG. Where has this year gone. I can’t believe it’s already 1 February 2015… Time is moving way too fast for me! For someone who is also trying to hold down a full time job, I’ve got way too many projects on the go and tomorrow we’re about to start some home improvements whichContinueContinue reading “Time stands still… please!”
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! I’ve been pottering around the house today after a quiet New Year’s Eve, and reading everyone’s celebratory posts and those posts looking into the new year. Usually I’m all over that on social media but, this year, especially after the recent siege in Sydney, things have felt more reflective. And so,ContinueContinue reading “Happy New Year!”
I’m still here!
Yep, I’m still around, but real life and a summer cold with related side effects (boo!) has seen me be very absent from my newly minted social media platforms for the last few weeks. But today sees me getting back into the swing of things… and posting another snippet as a little ‘pre-Christmas’ present. It’sContinueContinue reading “I’m still here!”
