I’m working on my character’s background stories today. It seems strange putting so much effort into something that I will mostly be the only one to see… still, it’s better to get it down on paper and to have it all laid out in front of me. #planning #background#research #characterprofiles

I’ve also done some more work on my owl. Trying to take it ( Read more... )

I don't know how to tell her. It was my fault, I know it was. I shouldn't have been looking. I wish I hadn't been. If I hadn't, I would never have known. The say ignorance is bliss, and really, they couldn't be more right, only I didn't know it before. The image is implanted in my head, making me feel completely sick. I can never get rid of it. And ( Read more... )

Smells always hold the strongest memories. I've always said that. I remember the first time I smelled it. It would be about seven years ago. Seven years since I first fell in love. He was so handsome then, and I knew that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. We got married that a week later, Christmas Eve, and ate popcorn in front of the ( Read more... )

It had to be the worst time of year for her to decide to do this. Of all the months, and all the seasons, and she books the test for the week before Christmas. She's not even left herself a decent amount of time to prepare. Talk about last minute, impulse decisions. Sometimes, I really wonder if she's actually mine.

My granddad used to march with the brass band. He played the trombone. I used to love listening to him with everyone else, cuddled up in mum's arms when I was younger. In those days, a white Christmas was a given. Children used to run around building snowmen and throwing snowballs. The lights sparkled on the big natural tree in the square, and it ( Read more... )

Dana turned it into a running joke. She always did have a great sense of humour, and now, while most people were complaining and begging for material gifts, she was simply running around singing "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth" It broke my heart to hear her, when I knew that she had no chance of this happening. Most children take it ( Read more... )

Laura stared at the writing on the envelope. She didn't recognise the handwriting at all, and wondered who had sent her a letter. Turning the envelope over, she tore the seal open, and took out the contents. It was a Christmas card, with a traditional, small village scene. Still not really any the wiser, she opened it up and read the inside... Dear ( Read more... )

Still catching up. Hope you like. x ( Read more... )

"You always do this! You never want to take directions, and we ALWAYS get freaking lost!" Diane shouted at her husband. "You know how important this is, but you still think it's okay to make a complete fool of me!" she jutted out her bottom lip and turned towards the window, focusing on the landscape flying past the car window. "You think I'm doing ( Read more... )

Christie stood and walked around the tree, smiling reminiscently, as she smelt the musty, fresh spruce scent. Even the sight of the natural tree, brought back memories for her. She felt tears pricking, as the memories engulfed her. She clenched her fists, and bit her lip, trying to force the tears back down. It was then that she heard it, those ( Read more... )
