This flash from @patiencemackarness.bsky.social is wonderful: delicate and gentle but achingly sad! πŸ‘πŸ˜

What a beautiful piece from @hilary55.bsky.social - but beware of the killer ending! πŸ‘πŸ˜

Such a fabulous, musical piece of frozen apopocalypse from @sharon54.bsky.social, doom side by side with human optimism! πŸ‘πŸ˜

Here's a stonker of a flash from @pleomorphic2.bsky.social - who else could turn a colonoscopy into a gorgeous little story? 😍😍😍

NFFD is here with a flood of amazing stories and hourly prompts to write to - SUCH FUN! πŸ˜€πŸ’«

I wrote this week's piece for the #PoemsAbout prompt #FierceBattle as a tribute to the people I know and love struggling with anxiety in various ways and to their courage. Thanks to @brokenspinearts.bsky.social and @alanparry83.bsky.social. πŸ™πŸ’œ

That is a totally gorgeous cover! Big congrats to the winners and finalists, can’t wait to read your stories! πŸŽŠπŸ’«

I had so much fun with this week's #PoemsAbout and the #Spectacle prompt - just let it take me somewhere sort of weird. Thanks as ever to @brokenspinearts.bsky.social and @alanparry83.bsky.social for the weekly motivation and inspiration and community! 😍 Photo de Giorgio Trovato sur Unsplash

If you can’t make it to #Brighton for the @brightbookfest.bsky.social's brilliant author talks & workshops, there are online options too. Brighton Book Festival June 18th - 22nd brightonbookfestival.co.uk

Congrats on the double launch! The two books sound amazing. Question for you Alan: are they available elsewhere (I don't do Amazon)? πŸ’«πŸŽ‰πŸŒˆ

This week's #LiftToTheSky goes to Marjorie Power: reading her work on her website I'm struck by how rich the poems are, how much scope they have, how they glow with beauty and intelligence. πŸ’« @brokenspinearts.bsky.social @alanparry83.bsky.social www.marjoriepowerpoet.com
