I’ve been followed by 65 people in 2 days and really it’s just so tiring when they’re not writing folk or even real people. Also have no ideas in overwhelmed tiny brain. Going to catch up on Severance. Full moon, watch out. Ciao.

Wait until the sauce starts to #congeal, volcanic over the bland cauliflower. That’s it. The rich cheese and a hint of mustard is all it takes to evoke potential. I’m so hopeful I could spoon it all up, buttery lips leaving their mark on a wineglass for tomorrow to worry about. #vss365 #prompt

Micros are weird little things. You read them quickly then some days later they can pop into your head out of nowhere! This one by @jameygallagher.bsky.social just keeps tapping away at my mind.

They asked us to #measure ourselves against the trees and we fell short, how could we not? Birds circled, mocking us for having dreams but never the will to fly. We surrendered to the grass in our laziness and let the ants carry us away. #vss365 #prompt

Tonight some Italian men of the 21st Century will laughingly call women ‘Befane’ and ask where they hide their broom, and I will eat them all.

I’m still waiting for your definition of the word ‘#turning,’ that’s why I put my hat on back-to-front, to see if you’ll stop me at the door and ask me to stay, but you don’t and the world keeps on. #vss365 #prompt

‘The sighting of a hare signifies a #fresh start, though in some cultures it’s seen as a bad omen.’ ‘Typical of you to see the negative side to everything,’ he replies. She looks over the fields, sees a streak in the distance. ‘Hmm, yes.’ And blows her fringe out of her eyes. #vss365 #prompt

My first story held on for quite a long time before being handed back with positive notes which I really appreciate. I’ll give it another bash, I mean, why not? Thank you @mattkendrick.bsky.social for always being so supportive!
