Read MoreWriting Prompt 95: My Favourite Recipe
“Your favourite recipe” My favourite recipe is one I have been trying to perfect since the first time I attempted (and semi-succeeded) to make it: my mom’s lasagna. It may take a while to make, but it’s pretty easy, making it a great meal for those cold wintry nights. Recipe: Meat Sauce 1 kg of […]
Read MoreWriting Prompt 94: The Perfect Meal
“The perfect meal” This is what I would pick as the ideal menu for a brisk autumn evening like today’s. Just a combination of my favourite pieces of comfort food.

“Describe a room in your house” One of my favourite spots in the apartment is the dining area.

“You are a fifty-three-year-old woman living in Chicago.

“Your dog’s last dream” This time. This time I’m going to catch it. That rabbit things it’s so smart, pretending to ignore me as it munches grass and hippity hops around the yard. I know I’m being extra quiet and still—I am an awesome hunter after all—but still. I know he knows. He knows I […]
Read MoreHello, hello
Hello! Yes, it’s me. Long time no chat! I’m three – almost four – weeks into a new job where I get to write full time (eek!) developing content for a group that writes investing news. To say I’m thrilled is an understatement, but what it also has meant that I’ve had to establish a […]
Read MoreWhat a week
It’s been quite the week, I’ll tell you. I started a new job, got to watch Del Potro play not one, but two fantastic tennis matches, and, most importantly for me at least, my story, Dear Friend, won a short story competition and has been published on Reedsy’s blog. It’s a special story to me, because […]

“What a character wearing something red is thinking” Lucius was anxious. For the first time in his life he was waiting for a date whom he had met on an online dating site. It had taken him a while to transition from online interactions to a real date. Unfortunately, he was of a generation where […]

“Your favourite hiding spot” When we were children, there were many instances during which we could hide. Sometimes it was even encouraged! Be it during a game or to run away from a punishment, there were quite a few times when I ended up behind a tree, under my bed, in a cupboard, or lying […]
