#Interim roles had always suited her. Until now. She finally asked what she was running from. What took her to hotels and short term apartment rentals across the country. Even in relationships she seemed to be the stopgap until the right one came along. Time to return home and face her past. #vss365

Reason laid out her plan of action to the others. #Petulance started with his usual response but I don’t want to, stamping his feet causing Irritation to jump up. But before she could speak Harmony stepped in. ‘Surely we can find a way,’ he said. ‘Let head and heart work together.’ #vss365

My #reservoir of love runs empty. It started as a slow leak and constant erosion means I’ve run dry. I thought you could fix me not realising all along only I could make the necessary repairs. #vss365

It was the storm before the #onslaught. Calm was a forgotten word, so underused and unavailable that it had fallen from the pages of dictionaries. #vss365

What a gorgeous sunrise. Soon it will be time to fill the cafetiere and write. Was writing until late last night and love how head was still in the book when woke up - found myself writing notes about chapters had been working on. The subconscious is a wonderful thing for writers

He told her he could trace his #bloodline back to Henry the Eighth. What a pick up line. If he thought being related to a man who married six wives and had some of them killed was an attraction, he’d picked the wrong woman. She held him in her gaze. Yeah and I’m related to Medusa she said. #vss365

You can't escape it, only change its course Tacking, gybing, or stagnant remorse Saturday's #vss365 #prompt is #bloodline. Enjoy! 📷@SandersSails

Afternoon @JamesBlunt.com - not sure if you'll see this with all the tour stuff going on but my friend Victoria and her husband Lew are flying from Las Vegas to see your show in Manchester tomorrow (15th). Any chance of a shout out if that's a thing you do. It would make her day! Cheers and thanks.

The #complex, centre, unit loomed in the distance. She would never refer to it as home despite them using that word. ‘Care home.’ A full life lived and this is where they expected her to end her days. But she had other plans. She had to get back to the sea, to feel its power once more. #vss365

It’s February 14th already and my final #vss365 #prompt is #complex – because they’ve all been fiendishly linked! They were all extracts from my WIP, which will be published this year. You’ve all been fantastic. Thanks for playing!

Just twenty-four hours to go until the spookiness starts - and you can take part from anywhere in the online UK Ghost Story Festival! www.ticketsource.co.uk/ukghoststory...

She thought he was her #safehaven. He thought she was his. It turned out they were both wrong. #vss365

Ten days to go until Derby gets that little bit spookier for three days of the UK Ghost Story Festival! We have a fantastic line-up of talent joining us for three days of talks, panels, interviews, workshops and more... www.ticketsource.co.uk/ukghoststory...

‘Oh my. Don’t book any travel and make sure you check every detail on the new client’s spreadsheet before sending it,’ said Monica. He didn’t understand everything was fine. ‘Why the sudden concerns?’ ‘Don’t you know,’ whispered Amy. #Mercury is in retrograde.’ He was none the wiser. #vss365

Three prompts to go and things are hotting up. The #vss365 #prompt for February 12th has risen – it’s #mercury

Looking around I’m so jealous I’m jealous of the blue blue Cloudless skies I want me some of that Looking around I’m so jealous I’m jealous of the green green Tumbling meadows I want me some of that I want to roll roll down them In to the arms of pure #liberation #vss365

Also don’t forget the Bridport Prize also has the Never Too Late Award for Writers Over 60. Please share :)

#Liberation came in the form of a young soldier, a schoolboy. He wanted to yell, celebrate but nothing came, wanted to drink a yard of ale but a sip of water was enough, joined the other men - ghosts of their formal selves. Didn’t realise the haunting would continue for the rest of his days. #vss365

I’m sure this #vss365 #prompt for February 10th will set free all your creative impulses. It’s #liberation

Bigly? Not for me, thanks. I wouldn’t want to overstate the #vss365 #prompt for February 9th, which is #modest

He only took a #modest amount. Just a little something each month to top things up and to give him the salary and lifestyle he believed he was worth. He’d exhausted the HR processes always meeting a dead end, the recipient of their ‘sorry but,’ letters. This way was easier, less paperwork. #vss365

I know… sometimes it feels like we’re all going round in circles. The #vss365 #prompt for February 7th is #cyclone.

He went to take the #thoroughfare but found himself in a maze of estate houses, with small lawns and cars on drives and bumped upon pavements. This happened a lot lately. His mind persuading him to meet his pal Mickey, through the lanes and alleys of the old town, how he remembered it at 14. #vss365

The #vss365 #prompt for February 5th is #nexus. The point where everything connects…

In her nightmares, the #bathtub was always the monster, dragging its heavy clawed feet toward her, taps full on, water cascading over the edge, flooding the floor where she was paralysed by fear. And now, here she was, facing the monster in a shared university house. No showers. Only a bath. #vss365

Goodnight. 🖼️ Fatally Yours from wonderful Barnacles and Moss

My favourite part of a visit to my local otter sanctuary is the bit where the otters stand respectfully in silence for their national anthems.

Take it easy. Bask in the #vss365 #prompt for February 4th. It's #bathtub But... where's the soap?

Let your writings be as powerful and enduring as the mighty #oak – the #vss365 #prompt for February 3rd.

She’d thought him solid as an #oak instead found out he was a cheap substitute. MDF with a veneer finish, unable to weather a storm. #vss365
