Profile I`ve been writing creatively since I was old enough to hold a crayon, but after focusing on English Literature and theatre for my degree, my own work dropped off significantly. My interest has been revived by recent discoveries in the fan-fic world, including a short writers` workshop at a recent Lord of the Rings convention, so now I think it`s time to do something about it!

Flash Fiction #94: What a Difference a Day Makes by Cailleachna Word Count: 374

With the passing this week of Gene Pitney, I've taken one of his songs as the drive behind this week's challenge. Not to be confused with the TV series, this week's prompt is Twenty Four Hours. Tulsa is not required - just a max of 750 words by midnight on Saturday the 22nd!

Flash Poetry #9: The Red One by Cailleachna Word Count: 72
1  Comment

I have just watched a film called 'What the (bleep) do we know?' - a story and a documentary rolled into one. Hard to explain but it's about the links between spirituality & quantum physics & what that might mean for us. Highly recommended. So I wanted to take a quote from that - do what you want with it! It is: 'How far do you want to go down the rabbit hole?'

Flash Poetry #8: No props to Junior by Cailleachna Word Count: 162
2  Comments

Go somewhere you can eavesdrop on people (preferably without getting arrested). Try to pick up sound bites to put in your notebook. When you get home, take one of these odd phrases and write a short free-form poem around what you have heard. Use it as your title, opening line, or finishing flourish, or just the gem around which your story develops. (Taken from the BBC Get Writing website.)

I don't know about you, but I could do with a break from 'the X of Y go ZZZZZ'. How about a Countdown poem [only ten lines]?
