Prompt 227

I slammed the car into an emergency stop, staring through the ground, through the car, at the hundreds of bones I could see contained within the soil. Human bones. ‘What the hell?’ I climbed out of the car, standing and staring beyond the ground until a horn jerked my gaze up again. ‘AreContinue reading “Prompt 227”

Prompt 484

The first few times had been terrifying and painful. A sword piercing her chest from behind. Savage dogs ripping through flesh. A lamppost falling, crushing bones. Perhaps staying in the house would have been better, but she had awoken alone, her family nowhere to be seen. Nothing had been out of place- the car wasContinue reading “Prompt 484”

Daily prompts (from Instagram)

Now that I’ve discovered the wonders of instagram, I’ve found a way to stop being lazy and get back into writing. I’m following a few writing prompt pages and have written over 500 down in notebooks. I then put each number into a box like a raffle for me to pick one at random everyContinue reading “Daily prompts (from Instagram)”

Ceilings drip, drip, drip onto damp scented carpets, the scent of abandonment still lingeringContinue reading “Poem idea (house invaded by nature)”

Poem idea (house memories)

Words written on the walls, painted over. Intentional for future viewers or an action without purpose? Will they be revealed again one day to a stranger, or scrubbed away with the paint concealing it? Will the words bring annoyance to the finder or an absent-minded smile at the evidence of an earlier presence? Carved namesContinue reading “Poem idea (house memories)”

My First Blog Post

Right, it’s been about three years now since I’ve done any regular writing. I need to get inspired again (and less lazy), so I’m starting this blog, as well as the daily writing prompts on Instagram/facebook (not so daily right now, but…yeah, life keeps getting in the way). I have a few writing goals toContinue reading “My First Blog Post”

Introduction

This blog is here to help me get inspired for writing. I’ve fallen out of regular writing and am using this blog to get back into it properly. Making it a public blog will hopefully make me more likely to keep updating, out of guilt (even if no one reads it). I’m hoping it willContinue reading “Introduction”
