Ah, civet coffee!
Who first thought it'll be good,
To pick beans from poo?

#WritingCommunity - is it ever okay to give up on a Writing In Progress #WIP?

Should #writers always finish a project, even if they're not feeling it anymore? Or does this just result in accumulating a collection of unfinished stories?

#Boosts appreciated - hoping to write an article about it on my #blog

Submissions are now open for our June issue!

Just sent another newsletter out, this time packed with fun and free CPD ideas for fellow translators, copywriters, and other freelancers.

One I think looks great is Tim Clare's 'Couch to 80k Boot Camp', a free podcast that'll help you flex your creative writing muscles over 48 episodes (8 weeks).

And if that one's too short for you, you could give his '100 Day Writing Challenge' a go. That'll keep you busy for just over 3 months.

I'll start listening today. Will you?

For those who know what it’s like working in a corporate environment. A short chuckle for the end of the week.

Rowan comes home: A ghost from the past

This was another audio short story as part of the Professional Writing Academy course.

The writing prompt for this was: “Rowan is back in town…”

In case you missed it, if you had seen my sci-fi short story I posted a couple of weeks ago, I posted a part 2. Part 1 is linked there as well.

Sometimes, I use writing prompts to try out different genres. I wrote a quick piece a while ago using this prompt:

“The world is at peace and cloning is commonplace. This allows people to live for hundreds of years by using multiple bodies.”

What would you write with this idea?

I submitted the audio format for my final submission when I undertook a course with the Professional Writing Academy.

I wrote this part of the Giz A Word Creative Collective. Our theme was ‘Vanilla’. It took me about ten minutes to jot this down on the bus at the time, hence excuse the errors.

Trying out some creative writing

This could go horribly wrong. I was going to keep this new creative blog anonymous, but what the hell.

https://cool-as-heck.blog/trying-out-some-creative-writing/

I'm #planning on #graduating in a year or so, so I'm trying to make more #friends and get more involved in the #community outside of my #school. That way, I won't be #alone after I don't have all my school friends and community around anymore. I don't know where I'll go for a #PhD, but this area is still my #home.

I'm into #gardening, #cooking, #sewing, #painting, #CreativeWriting, #reading, #VideoGames, and #anime. I'm from the #Rochester, #NY area.
