Two months? I’ve been away for two months? No way! Sure, I was really busy in June and I had my summer break in July and then I was ill in August and… well, I probably was gone from Blusky for two months. 🫣 Sorry…

So… I’m in the middle of writing this 7 volume magic realism series, but I got this idea out of the blue for a novel that could actually become a bestseller. What do I do? Break off my current work and write it? Or save the idea for 2028, when I’ve finished the series? #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

May 23: cover #WIPSnips “This is where I work,” she said. Ian looked at the building. It was monumental in its height, and the facade was completely covered by glass, giving the building a clinical, inhumane appearance. “Great,” Ian muttered. #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WriteSky

May 17: cough #WIPSnips Because of the noise from the Tube that passed the theatre every few minutes, you could hardly hear what was said on stage, but the audience didn’t care. They were just as noisy, coughing, talking, burping, their seats squeaking. #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WriteSky

Went to a talk yesterday. A retired nurse talked about her experiences as a young nurse in a totalitarian state during war. Her description of what had happened to torture victims was especially nauseating.
