Whoops. Behind again… But I’ve not missed 5 posts in a row yet. Almost but not quite. And that means I’m still in it. Just! That said, we’re looking at another composite posting today, covering letters S, T, U and V. And out of some choices… I’ve gone with spoon, tease, unprotected and voluptuous forContinue reading "S, T, U and V"
R is for Romance!
Today is brought to you by the letter ‘R’ and the word ‘romance’. And today I thought I’d try something different. I want to quickly cover off the top five romance authors who inspire me to write. Click on the names to explore their homepages. Nora Roberts Thanks Mum, for introducing me to Nora Roberts.Continue reading "R is for Romance!"
Q…
It’s Q day… and that doesn’t make for a lot of word-based inspiration. Sex-Lexis had some really ugly ‘Q’ based words (check out quandong, queeb and quail for some particularly iffy ones). Reading the list, and seeing quaaludes, I was thinking back to a book I read many years ago called Facades by Stanley LevineContinue reading "Q…"
M, N, O and P!
I’m starting this post with an apology… I may have over-extended myself this month! I’m not sure why I thought taking on the A to Z Challenge while working a full time job and trying to navigate caring for my mum was a good idea but here I am, late again. Whoops. Maybe that isContinue reading "M, N, O and P!"
Lascivious
Lascivious. Inclined to lustfulness. Wanton. Lewd. Arousing sexual desire. Indicating sexual interest or expressive of lust or lewdness. Welcome to ‘L’ day on the A to Z Challenge. A little 300 word scene starter that may be continued tomorrow. Fastening the black lace between her breasts, she smoothed her hands down over the soft chiffonContinue reading "Lascivious"
Kitchen
It’s ‘K’ day in the A to Z Challenge and I’ve decided to go back to the beginning of my flash fiction journey. I wrote today’s little snippet as my first entry in a flash fiction competition. I didn’t win (I did win the Virgin Award for my first time in the competition) but IContinue reading "Kitchen"
Jewellery
I’m catching up! I certainly wasn’t expecting to be writing this at 9:23 pm today, but I’m here and I am. Today (well, yesterday) was ‘J’ day in the A to Z Challenge and today’s inspiration is jewellery. Who doesn't love jewellery. And even more so, who doesn't love Tiffany’s (this first photo is actuallyContinue reading "Jewellery"
Illicit
Whoopsie. I’m a day late and a dollar short… well, just a day late. As always, I had good intentions but my Friday went a little more pear shaped than I had anticipated, so I didn't get to post. And then I had good intentions of doing it first thing this morning, but that didn'tContinue reading "Illicit"
(Broken) Heart
Tonight I was planning on going old-school with my ‘H’ inspiration as heart. And I was planning to go down a more positive route. But inspiration isn’t really hitting tonight and, what I really want to do, is introduce you to my current main character, Katherine Montgomery. This is a scene from my current work-in-progress thatContinue reading "(Broken) Heart"
G is for Grind
I’m so tired! It’s been a long few weeks here, and between trying to keep up at home, at work and with my writing, all I really want to do is crawl into bed and stay there for an extended period of time. It’s been such a… grind. Which leads me to today’s ‘G’ wordContinue reading "G is for Grind"
