Another Saturday, another morning #writing club. This week's prompt: The Typo.

We had codeword mess-ups, big contracts foiled, inheritances nearly stolen & a manipulative assassin as our short stories. Have a go & let me know what you come up with. 15 - 20 mins. Let the words fall from your brain.

Well, I told you there were hoverbikes!

Editors, are you ready for this one?

I think this fantastical world was born of a youth obsessed with The Matrix, Dragonball Z, Garth Nix & Scott Westerfield.

BE THE WATER (title of novel) logo in the centre with arrows leading off and listing the following tropes in glowing pink text: So many secrets, mixed race anxiety, love triangles (brothers & sapphics), hoverbikes, a twist on elemental magic, complex families, all-powerful empire. Almost transparent purple flames and pink outline to black background.

Rereading my MS before sending to my amazing agent
@losbennett.bsky.social. And as much as it makes me cringe to admit, I really love it. A powerful coming-of-age #YA #fantasy where a teenage girl embraces her mixed heritage & her own hidden truth. Watch out for this #writingcommunity & #editors!

Sunday mornings are writing club mornings. Our prompt today was mythical creatures and night-time fire alarms. My short story was titled 'Bakhtut, or the Adventures of a Night Hag'.

The opening line?

Sleep paralysis is the bane of my life.

I couldn't believe this! The three Pauls! 50% of the list is called Paul 🤣. How did that happen?

Change is in the air, underscored by struggle and fear. It clouds the greying skies; an oozing discontent that's whispered across borders, across classes, across cultures. A cat's tail twitches, and the universe shouts back: 'We were meant to be so much more than this.'

Just found out that my auntie is the mystery stranger who saved this person's life! @bbcnews-world-rss.bsky.social - you assumed she was a man!

It is! We have three & she is by far the naughtiest of them all.
