Creative Writing Experiments (Week 2)

Microfiction As we walked, winter continued to steal away the light and burn through our time. Occasionally a brisk wind walked with us. While the lake was romantic- with its still water, straining light and focused joggers, the walk back home wound through a private path known only to the locals and used most frequently by us. Secluded within a forest, the trees had paved the way and now patiently stood by. Between their branches, we could see glimpses of a grey and darkening sky above and, ahead of us, the path was lost under the horizon. I laughed and pressed myself closer to him. He staggered under my weight and ploughed us through a puddle of leaves. For a moment, a flurry of gold and copper rained around us. If this was a movie, he would have moved in for the kiss.  But the opportunity was missed. While I stopped to admire the dead, floating leaves, he spun me around, detangling himself from my grip and flashed that infamous smile. He leaned in, quite far considering our h

Although I'm a little late to the game, already over a month into the year, I thought I'd share with you the top 10 upcoming tv series that have caught my eye this year. Enjoy and leave a comment on anything I've missed that I should check out.  Collateral - 12 th February BBC2 -           The series has just begun, with the first episode airing on the 12 th February.  A political thriller with a star cast including Carey Mulligan, John Simm and Billie Piper and written by David Hare, Collateral looks promising. When a pizza delivery driver is murdered, with a headstrong Detective on the case, a politician wrapped up in a conspiracy and an ex with something to hide, the show tackles a lot of different issues in its short time span. IZombie Season 4- 27 th February Netflix -     Return of the Zombie series based on the DC  Comics, by writer Chris Roberson and artist Michael Allred . This TV series is produced by Warner Bros but is available on Netf

The Liebster Awards

So this is new- I was nominated for the Liebster Award by Tom Goodyear, friend and fellow blogger [ check out his blog-here ]. The Award is designed to connect blogs and I for one am all for it! It's very simple really, Tom has sent me a series of questions made by BethanMayBooks , which I am supposed to answer and then pass on some of my own questions to other bloggers (which I will link to at the bottom). For more information about the award check their website here , but without further ado, onto the q'n'a. 1 – Our society has been overrun by a totalitarianism dictatorship; knowledge is power, so any sources of knowledge are illegal and actively destroyed. Including books. It is thirteen minutes past two in the morning and your door is being hammered in by a battering ram. They’re here. They of know your collection. But they do not know of your escape tunnel in the cellar. You grab one book. What is it? Tough one, 'cause I have my favourites like Hit

Creative Writing Experiments (Week 1)

DISCLAIMER: Each week I am going to aim to post one piece of creative writing here, in order to create a small portfolio of my work but to also share it and hopefully improve as the weeks go by. Week 1- OPENING SCENE, The scene opens on a dreary train platform, the sign reads ‘Y Fenni Abergavenny’. It is dark, gone midnight and a small flickering station-lamp illuminates the station. Enter BRADLEY and MORGAN, two students, Bradley is calm and collected whereas Morgan seems flustered. Morgan: [rushing ahead] We’ve missed it, we’ve missed it, I told you we would miss it. Who has a party in the middle of nowhere anyway? Bradley: Hardly middle of nowhere and we haven’t missed it. It’s probably just late, they usually are. We can just wait. Unless you fancy walking all the back to Cardiff. Morgan: [sighs, shuffling from one foot to the other as if cold and mutters] Hope it’s soon. Bradley: Oh come on,
