Writer’s Block Word Vomit

I'll be quite honest gang: I don't know what this post is going to be. I've just sat down to start writing, and we'll see where it goes. I've been struggling to write lately, so I thought the best option was to just start something, anything, and see if it…

Musings on Autumn

The nights creep in a little faster, the wind is blowing a little harder, and a chill starts to sweep through the air. The leaves are donning their finest colours, splashes of amber and crimson dancing overhead, their final hurrah before their end comes. Golden fields, bushels of…

Musings after Lockdown

(source)And the world awakens.Reawakens.Cautious glances,hesitant footsteps,tentatively venturing beyond the front garden.Shy waves at long unseen faces,scarcely believing the option to do so is even real.Reemerging from shuttered windows,eyes blinking in the bright sunlight,seeing the world anew.One by one.Slow, cautious, careful.But no.It is not like this.It is an onslaught.A rush of…

The Eco-Warrior | Character Sketch

She's out to save the planet, whatever it takes. That's easier said than done, of course. She's always known about climate change, it was taught to her in school as a child, but life got busy and it didn't seem like a pressing issue for a while. Then,…

Life Doesn’t Stop

Sometimes you desperately want to hit pause. The world seems too big, or time is moving too fast, and you just want to stop and catch your breath, just for a moment. Just to have an extra moment to process or decide or maybe even savour something. But…

Musings from a Tourist Town

The cobbled streets weave in and out of each other, a never-ending maze where every corner looks the same yet entirely different. The buildings stand tall on either side, towering precariously high overhead, their rough stonework marked with centuries' worth of stories. Behind each set of dark wooden…

Brown | Colour

It's natural and organic and rough. It's old and worn and used. It's dirty and dull and messy. (source) It's the mighty trunks of giants in the forest, standing firm for centuries. It's the thick, warm fur of a bear as he lumbers through the trees.…

The Extrovert | Character Sketch

She likes to make a splash. She's bold and wacky and out there. Extrovert doesn't even begin to cover it. Meeting new people is her favourite thing to do. She'll ask endless questions about your life, your hobbies, your experiences; while pouring out her own answers…

A Frozen Landscape

An icy tundra, stretching out into infinity. A scene of endless white, where sky and land meet and the horizon is scarcely visible. A cold, frozen wasteland, empty of life. (source) It is a place so far from humanity, unseen and untouched by mankind. A place where life…
