I’m just a girl with a 500-word humour piece about magpie-swooping standing in front of any mag (but probably more Australian), asking them to let her submit. #whichmags #submission #isthisapitch #writingcommunity

Lucy couldn’t believe Mrs. Castro was right! With a bit of practice - word-memory association, visualisation while sipping the right mix of cardamom, pepper, paprika, and rapping-memory technique, Lucy’s become the spelling juggernaut. #9forNavaratri #juggernaut

They were bottled nostalgia. Bibliosmia, a hint of mildewed rows of woody old-book smell transporting someone to the oldest libraries in the world. My favourite was Mango-tango with a fruity, sweet smell of teeming unpicked mangoes ripening over us as we kissed. #9forNavaratri

“We’re expanding our operations!” The Martian slaves mining the cobalt and graphite rocks groaned, praying their Long Dark Winter would come sooner when finally they could properly ‘welcome’ the Earthlings. #30words30days #expand #catchup

Mrs. Castro, our neighbour, knew how to deflect the developers wanting to buy her land. A whole truck of manure and fake skeletons in her backyard always did the trick. #30words30days #develop #catchup

Oh how I love writing micro memoirs for @FiveMinuteLit - always cathartic, and nerve-wracking at the same time. Totally recommend! 😁🙌🏾💕
Scared yet determined, I walked to the nearest phone booth and called my secret boyfriend. “Can you please pick me up?” Grateful that he was older than me, had a car and license.—RUNAWAY by @twitnikki Editor's Pick Fall Contest 2023 in case you missed it https://t.co/bHhnbOqk1r

“This way please,” the voice caressed my head inside. I walked down the corridor. Glimmers popping with every step, with no clue where I am I opened the first door. #30words30days #potential #catchup

I love this message… “don’t die with an unwritten book inside you”. That hit me hard. Thanks, Amanda. 💕💕💕
My dad was a writer. His book won an award, was translated into a language he couldn’t read, and referenced as textbook. When he found out he was dying, he finally started writing the novel he’d been dreaming of. But this isn’t that story: it’s the story of a notebook. 1/9
