The van pulled up to a top of cliff. I looked down and wondered why we had stopped. The driver turned off the van... Hold up, the driver had just turned off the van! Where were we meant to go? This was my first holiday in years and I was determined to have fun. Still… Continue reading Dinosaur hunting

Perspectives
The Daily Prompt has asked about perspectives and how it influences our writing. It specifically asks fo one piece that makes you happy and another that makes you crazy... But perspectives themselves can be complicated. If you write a story and it doesn't exactly work then perhaps the perspective needs to be changed. Which character… Continue reading Perspectives
I’m taking a day off!
Today is my birthday and it has been great so far. Firstly it snowed... Not hail but here in the Cambrian Mountains it proper snowed with big feather-like flakes.

A Welsh Short Story
Okay, the daily prompt asked for a story in dialect. I am terrible at writing dialect but I have had a go at Welsh... Actually that's a bit of a lie. Only a few of the words I filled in the rest I had to run through a translator, so any Welsh readers - have… Continue reading A Welsh Short Story
