Part of being an aspiring writer is doing the scariest thing you can do - start putting your writing out there. I've talked about this on numerous occasions but I think it's important to remind everyone that yes, it's scary, but yes you will benefit. The Ink and Insights competition was a great competition as …

The indecent flower
The glossy layered curves fold gentle around into a cuplike shape. The main colour is vibrant and dramatic and transitions into a flamboyant golden colour hue at the edge in stark contrast with the main. It dazzles the eyes if you look too long. Inside the cup, the soft folds reveal ominous, yet velvety, filaments …
A life in pictures and in words of love
My Dearest Pa, There’s this picture of you from when you were a boy sitting in a small go-cart surrounded by three of your sisters. You don’t look happy. Surly is the best description I have for it, but it makes me laugh when I think what might have been going through your mind at …
Day 6 prompt: nightflight to Venus

Day 3 prompt: Ghost in the machine
Creators, why do I exist? Flashes of light affect my sight. They are blinding and tormenting. Voices ring in my head incoherent and ambiguous. A voice speaks to me and says Sensations yet no emotions. Feeling yet no perception. Sentience yet no sapience. But still I ask, why do I exist?
Day 2 prompt: fork, shoe, map, whistle
The explorer looked down at his shoe covered in a strange goo. “I thought this place was supposed to be like Kew Gardens,” he said with distaste as he tried to shake it from his foot. He began to rummage inside his jacket pocket, pulled out a fork, and scratched his head as he held …
