Three Wishes…

December 31, 2013December 31, 2013 Kate17 Comments

Why three? Well, I'm greedy. But if I could have three wishes for next year they would have to be these... 1. To have the ability to make small talk... I would love to talk to people without having to go through a huge rigmarole of trying to find something interesting and failing. "So how… Continue reading Three Wishes…

Ideas…

December 30, 2013December 30, 2013 Kate8 Comments

I tend to write myself into an idea. Even the Dark Crystal Author Quest involved me tapping away in order to find a story within the world they had created. Sometimes inspiration comes from an image and sometimes a word... Suddenly the idea is there, glowing but just out of reach. I then use my… Continue reading Ideas…

Best Days? (an idea for a book)

December 29, 2013 Kate9 Comments

People always told me as a child that my school days would be the best... Really? Then I can safely say that the rest of my adulthood is going to be worse than hell. My name is Colleen Norton (you have to say that in a Micheal Caine voice - it only works that way).… Continue reading Best Days? (an idea for a book)

Art and all that

December 28, 2013 KateLeave a comment

I have finally done it and create a deviant art page. I've also added a journal which will be about my illustration. I'll try to pop a button on the side bar to give everyone access, otherwise you can find it HERE. Thanks. 🙂

Short Stories

Wish I was there…

December 26, 2013 Kate2 Comments

This is a piece of flash fiction and not based on real events. We were dying. Mostly of water deprivation, and dehydration is not the best of deaths. Firstly it hurts. Or maybe that was the starvation? I'm not certain. By the time we found it we were all hallucinating. I spent my time in my mind,… Continue reading Wish I was there…

Best day ever

December 25, 2013 Kate5 Comments

I'm not sure if I have had a best day ever. I've been thinking about this post and I don't remember a day that has filled me with complete happiness. Or rather, I can't remember a day since I was a child. That Christmas present that you have wanted for a good six months and… Continue reading Best day ever
