I'm not just being magnanimous when I say that #vss365 creativity is dazzling to behold. As those who know me will attest, I'm attracted to shiny things. Let your writing sparkle with the March 7 #prompt, #jewelry.

#vss365 When her tears crystallized to slips of bone, she knew she was crying for no one, not even herself. Only life, both rose and charlatan in one fumbled breath. From her brambled garden of colorless ache, she released her heart, its patchwork of wounds glinting like

Shining #jewelry Catches its eye while in flight To snatch unawares #vss365 #haiku

'Gosh, that's a lot of bling you're wearing, Gabe.' 'It is not bling, Pixie. It is... dope.' Splutter. '#Jewelry. New lingo. Are those feather highlights? Please don't go out until I've had a chance to research angel midlife crisis charms.' Sniff. 'Insufferable pixie.' #vss365

I never did find that bracelet. But I’ve found lots of #jewellery since. I like to think it chooses the finder. Take this bracelet, for instance. It grabbed me. Well, the hand it was attached to did. I took it as a sign. Shook the hand and left it in the sinking sand. #vss365

How the #Jewellery Heist Went Wrong ‘Oi Geordie! Where’s yer drill?’ ‘T’ween ma knees.’ ‘What’s it doing dan there?’ ‘I got t’hammer in ma right hand and t’spanner in ma left.’ ‘Chuck it over then.’ ‘I’ll have to put—bugger, I’ve got paint on ma trews.’ ‘How?’ ‘Well…’ #vss365

Your wonderful #vss365 posts grace my timeline like the finest jewelry. The genius you show takes my breath away. I can't wait to see how you dazzle me with the March 8 #prompt, #spellbound.

'Did you see that, Pixie. The audience was #spellbound by my performance. At last my greatest wish has been fulfilled. They hung on every last note of my harp recital.' I shake my fingers free of the pins & needles from the stupefaction charm. 'A captive audience, Gabe.' #vss365

Fixated on me That intense stare looks #spellbound Wanting to eat snacks #vss365 #haiku

She prodded at her face in the mirror, pointing out wrinkles & jowls. “What do you mean?” he said, confused. She rolled her eyes. “No need to lie.” But he was still #spellbound by the image of her when they first met - and that’s the way he still saw her. Always would. #vss365

Fay is #spellbound, literally. Toodles has bound her with a spell so strong she is stuck. Toodles thinks she’s a drugs baron and is reporting her to the Magic Council. You’ve got it all wrong, Fay says. It’s medicinal only. But Toodles just rolls her eyes #vss365

Would it be too much to say your #vss365 offerings leave me spellbound? At the very least, I feel a tremendous warmth when I read your work. The flashes of brilliance are truly spectacular. Now it's time to spark your imaginations with the #prompt for March 9: #lightning.

#vss365 The widening of the aperture, revealing her darker themes - pocket horrors, where blue #lightning scries itself on the inner thigh. The emerald snake that coils around your wrist and injects its venom is not unpleasant. That poison travels along your veins, then wraps

"Riz, I have no issue with you making Runes, as they're what stops us getting killed like most of the time..." I started saying. "Deres a 'but' comin." "...but please stop testing them inside! That #lightning Rune fried the electrics!" "Its rainin outside!" #vss365 #riztherogue

Smoke curls from Gabe's hair & his feathers smoulder. 'Wh...what was in that jar, Pixie!' 'Bottled #lightning, Gabe. That'll teach you to go through my stuff.' 'You left it in the cupboard next to the jam!' 'Did I? Whoops. My bad.' #vss365

#vss365 One flash, and his mind smokes her name. One near miss, and his hands become currents prowling the pyre of her hips. One strike, and he becomes a hunger, biting back its growl a live wire kissing metal, tasting the wildsweet of her mouth. #Lightning arches between their

Writing tip: Don’t wait for inspiration to strike. Just churn out words. Alice disagrees. She goes on a clifftop walk to spark her imagination, advice ringing in her ears: “You’re more likely to be struck by…” A clap. A flash. Damn. An idea was brewing then. #vss365 #lightning
