Stokesy's Written Rambles: January 2007

http://stokesyswrittenrambles.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html

A place where I bung all my (completely amateur and just for fun) writing. Tuesday, January 30, 2007. Very short piece for a 15 minute writers' group exercise about my friend Kate. Believe it or not, it came from the task to write about one of a series of random words: the word I picked was "rucksack". Kate seems perpetually happy. She is a bit like a puppy. She is a bit like an excited, yappy, puppy. She is a bit like a hyperactive kid. I sit opposite her every day wondering how she can be like this.

Stokesy's Written Rambles: Remember Me!

http://stokesyswrittenrambles.blogspot.com/2006/09/remember-me.html

A place where I bung all my (completely amateur and just for fun) writing. Monday, September 04, 2006. A fifteen minute unplanned writing response done at my writing group. It was in response to a card, which showed a cartoon picture of a computer, subtitled with the phrase "Remember Me! It's just a "story chunk". Have no idea where it would go from here. The screen blinked into life, cancelling the bubbling fish screen saver. His eyes scanned the screen for signs. Messenger. JP Offline. Hi , he typed.

Stokesy's Written Rambles: Cheese Pretzels

http://stokesyswrittenrambles.blogspot.com/2006/08/cheese-pretzels.html

A place where I bung all my (completely amateur and just for fun) writing. Tuesday, August 22, 2006. Homework" exercise for my writing group. We had to write in any way we wanted on the subject of FOOD. I am a bit fat. I know I am a bit fat. And to be honest most of the time it doesn’t bother me. I don’t feel too unhealthy, I try to keep fit and I also try to eat healthily. But I’m still a bit fat. The eating thing. Ah. That’s a slightly different story. Now, if I cook at home, there’s no problem I alway...

A place where I bung all my (completely amateur and just for fun) writing. Wednesday, August 02, 2006. In response to my writers' group's task of writing about a person you met while travelling who made an impression on you.). I found myself in a dark, noisy bar, surrounded by smoking shadows and speakers pumping euro-pop into the atmosphere. I remember staring at my pint, feeling very peculiar. And then starting to feel a bit panicky. And slightly sick. Whitie . Dodgy pub, in an often dodgy city, wasted...

Stokesy's Written Rambles: August 2006

http://stokesyswrittenrambles.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html

A place where I bung all my (completely amateur and just for fun) writing. Tuesday, August 29, 2006. In response to this task:. I found an image in a newspaper, of a stern looking older man. He has white beard and hair, though is balding. Very smartly dressed in a business suit and tie. I decided on a monologue, trying to bring out aspects of this person's character. I won't post the image here as I wouldn't want to offend anyone who knows him in real life :-). What the hell is she talking about? How dar...

http://stokesyswrittenrambles.blogspot.com/2007/01/flat.html

A place where I bung all my (completely amateur and just for fun) writing. Monday, January 22, 2007. Writing Group "homework" task: "Write about something you bought.". I thought I would scream if I heard that comment once more:. When you see it, you’ll just know. What hippy-dippy crap was that. I had no time for it: all I knew was that I was trying to do the virtually impossible. I was trying to find an affordable property in. Yup, I remember thinking: that’ll be enough to get a one bedroom flat. My lov...
