Thought i'd do an intro post as i'm more active here now! I'm a UK based writer of flash fiction, screenplays, prose & notebook scribbles. I love movies and all kinds of music (saw Blue & Slipknot in the same week.) Avid NUFC fan. Believe in integrity and being nice to people!

If you ever think the little things you are doing are going unnoticed know that they are not and what’s more they are greatly appreciated 💜

Woke up stupidly early because I either sleep for 4.5 hours or 11 hours (the latter largely eludes me) but I did get to see this lush Edinburgh morning sky while getting coffee.

She has moved through fires,
Scorching layers.
Letting go of the #ash
So the glow beneath
Can light the way for others.

The only way I know to guarantee a swift recovery from a migraine.
Off to drink water and eat veggies all day as I explore Edinburgh.

She didn’t know if the thing that she would #associate with his presence had changed. Suddenly more often and appearing in a different way. She was confused and questioning if this the change was to ensure it was seen or if it was unwanted attention from elsewhere. #vss365

Genuinely amazing how a song can transform a drive though red bricks and blue skies into something that feels biblical. 🖤🤍

This is a great idea. Inclusivity is so important.

Withered from a day critiques & clashes between differing hearts & heads, she resigned herself from the debate & headed across the vast office to spill out her woes to a friend.
"Vic, it's just #adverts. People fast forward through our day's work."
She laughed & grimaced. It meant nothing. #vss365

Storm Amy is incoming so me and my mate are hunkering down for tonight and tomorrow. She's writing her PHD, i'm writing my book. We're gonna eat Indian food, watch It's a Sin and be productive in between but generally hide from how rubbish it's gonna be outside!

The heavy pulp
of autumn leaves underfoot
In sodden streets
Still retaining beauty
Even while sinking
Into the darkness of the day.

I know loads of people think England is shit but I really don’t. There’s just so much beauty and so many good people.
(I’m giddy with joy from a day of wandering round a grey rainy Manchester listening to Joy Division).

'Professor'. Proof that education does not equal intelligence.

Vicky (she/her) @staytruecreate.bsky.social · 6d

I’ll never understand people that go to shows and talk all the way through. So disrespectful to the artist and the people around them. Just go to a Spoons to chat and don’t waste 30 quid on a show you’re not gonna watch.

Because, for some people, online clout means more to them than anything else. People are lost.

OMG i've just realised i've broken my own cardinal rule and this is not a haiku. 6/7/5. There is not enough coffee in the world right now.

May the poetry Gods/Goddesses forgive me.
