Aurora adjusted the scanner to filter out background ambiance and the grav sled’s energy signature, smiling at the results. “There we go!” “You point, we drive.” Estella told her, waiting for a direction. I kept my eye on plant creatures that blocked our paths while we went in a more or less straight line backContinue reading “Adventures Aboard the Chen Xing- Chapter 29”

It’s all in the frame…
This is based on a blog piece titled It’s all in the frame by Laurie Wagner. I think she said it was a line of dialogue one of her friends said. I’ve actually taken this line quite literally in the piece below where I’ve basically described all the framed photos that are sitting in theContinue reading “It’s all in the frame…”
What to do in Hong Kong…
The jump-off line is really What to do… from the title of What To Do The First Morning The Sun Comes Back by Roseann Lloyd. I just decided to make it about Hong Kong. What to do in Hong Kong:
Adventures aboard the Chen Xing- Chapter 28
“Whatever he’s doing it seems thought out.” Aurora told me with a shrug. I had no idea what she was talking about but I followed her gaze. A small part of Vines was doing something to a panel with some tools. H squared came wandering past. The rest of Vines was covering him down toContinue reading “Adventures aboard the Chen Xing- Chapter 28”
A few reasons I said no/yes…
I couldn’t remember from which poem the starting line was inspired from but I took a line invented by Laurie Wagner instead of from the poem. A few reasons I said no: I don’t want it, I’m mostly past the stage of yielding to common courtesy I have my doubts and my interest is notContinue reading “A few reasons I said no/yes…”

The moment she crossed the threshold
The line is not from Wild Writing actually but taken from the novel Northern Star Guide me Home by Jo Spurrier. I like the line a fair bit, in that I can take it in so many directions, such that I reused it for free writing for my female protagonist of my work-in-progress. Anyway, enjoy. Continue reading “The moment she crossed the threshold”
Good days of writing… bad days of writing…
This is just my own prompt inspired by a Wild Writing piece I did off “good news… bad news…” Good days of writing: you know what happens in the scene and you just know how to write it. Everything flows seamlessly onto the page. Bad days of writing: you try to write it but there’sContinue reading “Good days of writing… bad days of writing…”
I am a 38-year-old girl
This is my own prompt and I wrote this piece two years ago so I’m actually 40 now. But nothing has changed much. I am a 38-year-old girl. It’s strange but I never considered myself a woman. I mean, I am quite mature mentally but somehow the label didn’t feel right. I think of myselfContinue reading “I am a 38-year-old girl”
Adventure Aboard the Chen Xing- Chapter 26
Estella whispered to me, “We need to slow him down, it’s still early, they’re probably still at his office.” I hurried to catch up with Scorsby. “Hey, we still haven’t talked about the jobs you wanted us to take off you.” “Let’s have one last drink while you tell us for the road, whatever yourContinue reading “Adventure Aboard the Chen Xing- Chapter 26”
