December 2021 Self-Love Sunday

Dearest Readers, Did I miss two consecutive months of Self-Love Sundays? Yes. Did I start posts each month and abandon them? Also yes. In all honesty, I have been finding it very difficult to come up with anything kind to say to myself the last few months. My inner critical voice has been difficult to …

I Always Knew – Writing Prompt Wednesday

I always knew he'd find me eventually. I just didn't know it would be like this. A small part of me, a teeny-tiny voice in the back of my mind hoped he would. It would mean he had never stopped looking for me. Never given up. But in reality, finding me was an accident. Perhaps …

Character Prompt (Writing Prompt Wednesday from Jericho Writers)

Dear Readers, I hope this post finds you well. I am sitting here staring at the above photo and not feeling prompted. The oddest part about the situation I find myself in, which I don't really care to admit, is that I am hung up on the outfit the woman wears. (Insert palm face emoji …

The first time it happened, I was… (Writing Prompt Wednesday inspired by Jericho Writers)

Hello Literary Lovelies, I am continuing on with the writing prompt I received in an email from Jericho Writers. I will attach a screenshot below of the newsletter: The first time it happened, I was twelve. I thought it had been a recurring dream, happening oddly every summer.

Blind Date with a Book – A Book “Shop” Meet Cute

I froze where I had been dancing - alone in my apartment. Was that what I thought it was? As if in reply it came again, a soft: Knock, knock I went into a crouched position, as if somehow whomever was outside my door might be able to see me. When in fact they probably …

The Stack – A Book Shop Meet Cute

It wasn't the first time I had seen him there among the stacks of Rarity, my favourite book shop. But it was the first time I heard him laugh. He didn't even look up from what he was reading, not in the least bit nervous about who saw him or what it was he was …

Unsigned: A Book Shop Meet Cute

I wasn't supposed to be working today. Technically I wasn't working according to the regional manager. I was assisting with an author's Q&A that I was luckily given time off in order to attend. 'You can't imagine how busy events like this can be,' the echoes of his voice still reverberated within me. 'The very …

Writing Prompt Wednesday – Flash Fiction Challenge

Do you want to meet? I couldn't stop myself before typing my reply: Did you seriously just ask that question? You're being absurd. Absolutely absurd. I watched the three-dot text bubble appear on the screen before disappearing. Waiting for the response. Absolutely absurd had been a bit much even for me. But at least I …
