The Price of Gold
I was late because I fell into a hole. I was desperately searching for glimmers and someone was digging for gold. The hole and I both were open...

Ew that sounds eye-wateringly
Posted on Tue, 26 Sep 2023
Ew that sounds eye-wateringly painful, the intensity of the situation expressed so clearly in your piece. I remember the inner fire which drives you to do crazy things when you're young, whatever the consequences, the future didn't matter. I was...

Wonderfully done Jenny. There is no greater playground than the woods. I was fortunate enough to attend a primary school bordered by a strip of woodland which we were not supposed to enter but of course we did. Love, 'branches appear to stoop...

You went to King Edwards, holy grail of selective schools? I must say, A levels seem like hell and I refrained from getting emotionally invested in my kids' results.
You've built the a sense of both apprehension and rapid change in this...

I enjoyed this arrangement of words. It's very different and got me thinking about how writing becomes so natural but only after years of learning to spell, punctuate and the rest. To be both creative and articulate, you have to dig stonking deep...

Posted on Wed, 26 Jul 2023
I couldn't agree more with writing as a retreat and a way to harmonise, a release as in a cloud burst, only when you've got that flow though. We are so lucky to be able to express ourselves in words and understand each other albeit with many...

Thanks for reading Insert. I wonder if there was part of them that wanted Sandra to be eaten. On a serious note, there are a lot of dangerous dogs out there with irresponsible owners. A horror ending to the story could have been entertaining but...

This sounds like absolute heaven. Maria making use of every bit of space to grow plants, useful or beautiful. It's interesting the way people will add to rubbish if they see rubbish, I think it's the same with grafitti and bags of dog poo. What a...
