"The Jade Killer always leaves an emerald lipstick at the crime scene." "Why?" "She only kills evildoers. She's warning them that she's watching...Plus green lipstick is usually on sale." #30Words30Days Day 25 Jade

Mum always said, turn the other cheek. So when Mr Brown, the teacher with the bogeys, started telling me off, that's what I did. Unfortunately, mooning is against school policy. #30Words30Days Day 26. Pliable

We moved to the new planet, bringing plants from home Mint, sage, basil. They didn't grow. We did. My great grandchildren don't know mint or sage or basil or fear. #30words30days Day 28-30 Mint Sage Growth

Thanks to Danielle Baldock and all the #30Words30Days crew for another fun challenge. June's a busy month for me but I loved reading everyone's creations and joining in when I could 🎉

Doing Julia Webb 's poetry course and I spent ages constructing a fairytale poem. And I've done something in two seconds which I think is actually better. Typical!

I have a small story in this if anyone fancies checking it out. Really looking forward to seeing the other contributions. Some familiar names on the list 😊 🤖🔮👾🛸

Finished Julia Webb 's Mythologies email poetry course. I've really enjoyed it. Dedicating a little time every week to discover new poems, be guided to think about themes in new ways (not to mention producing a few poems myself) has been so pleasant and rewarding.

I cannot stress how lovely the editors are. Give it a go 😊

The moon grew fat on the sun's dwindling light. The stars added a flourish of victory to the alabaster light. Night flowers twitched awake, scenting the air with their joy. #30words30days

"You've got potential. But you're still young. Travel, read philosophy, broaden your mind." He smiled at her, hoping she never did those things. Unsuspecting naive minds were much more delicious. #30Words30Days Day 4+5: Broaden and potential

The sea swells. The gulls shriek grabbing a fish, a McDonald's wrapper, each other. The rain blows into my face, proving my waterproof coat a charlatan. I smile. I'm home. #30Words30Days Day 6 - Swell

Crystal handed me the pearly-rock. "One taste and we evolve into something better than humans." "Maybe we should figure out how to be decent humans before worrying about being more." #30Words30Days Evolve

"It's always darkest before the dawn? What nonsense. What can possibly thrive in the dark?" Grace took my hand in her small one. "Hope." And so my villain era ended. #30Words30Days Thrive

Can't wait to see this issue. Heard a rumour that over 30 writers have contributed! (I've also got a wee poem in it which I'm chuffed about)

Really enjoyed the The Paperclip launch yesterday. Such a friendly group of people and some great readings. Been reading the other contributions today and there are some fantastic pieces in there 📖

Was so excited to finally sit and read this but I read Fire On Her Bowstring by Arani Acharjee first and now I have to sit and absorb it. So excited to read the other contributions if this is the standard.

Intending to catch up on #30Words30Days this weekend and more importantly to read the wee gems others have been writing.
