Evening all, hope your Tuesday goes well.
As an antidote to winter dramas, Tuesday down under was hot and smoky. Like usual you say. No today was something else, Sydney covered in a smoke haze, that reduced visibility so much that the harbour came to a standstill and sufficient dense to set of smoke alarms. Never seen anything like it, the source a mega-fire north of the city that has already burnt a footprint the size of Sydney itself. Respiratory issues have peaked in hospitals.
In a disaster in New Zealand a number of Australian cruise tourists were killed or seriously injured when the volcano (White Island, or Whakaari) they were visiting exploded yesterday.
I have managed to get three quarters of the way through my competition story which feels great. Well done to Susie for managing to complete hers with a month to spare. I might take a beer, this hot smoky evening. Take care everyone.

Any more calls for alcohol or some lesser (cheaper) drink?

Under 5000, okay so that means 4999 words from me then Rachel.
Though, as it pays to have a plot in mind before committing to write, lets just say I am not yet as enthusiastic as Vanessa.
I see from the announcement that the Celts are thought to have been the founders of what is now known as "Halloween", a large festival called Samhain which was a celebration of the harvest and the start of winter.
End the cultural hegemony of the north I say.
Rise up brothers and sisters of the south, end hemispherism, and lets celebrate the day before the start of winter on the right day, namely April 30th.
Or do I just have to fall into line and think of plot twist for southern ghosts having a preference for spring over autumn.

I wonder if there is a drink called, The Snake Bite, or Rattler, or something similar. If not, we should invent one.
Oh God, there is. In the UK - equal parts lager and cider. Vomit city for me. I dislike both.

Hi all, coffee for me this Wednesday lunchtime, as I am supposed to be working.
Thanks so much Vanessa for your kind words about my poem and to others who have commented so kindly on it. I have only written a handful of poems, but with this generosity I am inspired to write more.
But first there is the serious matter of the potential Vanessa competition, I am so entering.
To get ahead of you other literary butterflies, I have a horror story (surprise, surprise,) the Loch Nessa monster to be precise. Nessa as a kind of Wickerwoman which will get Under Your Skin. There might be some Unkindness of Ravens but Scotland is a Wild Country only suitable for Dog Soldiers; no Urban Ghost Story this, what with The Dead Outside including Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi snatching bodies. Is that the right amount of Scottish horror movie allusions, Hannah, or a tad over the top.
Now when it cums to the sex scene, well all those druid sacrifices throwing nubile virgins from The Road to Anywhere into the Loch are key, as they turned out to be Nessa's Lesbian Pussy from Dimension X. They won't be spending Eternity in Your Arms, butt hers. It is not widely known that Nessa has tentacles, which this intrepid writer will foreshadow turn out to be the perfect accessory for a lesbian orgy.
Like Vanessa does, opportunities for Scottish humor will be taken (What is worn under that kilt? Madam it is all in perfect working order.) The judges are sure to be impressed with the classical allusions to The Scottish Play. Nessa has a pet Scottish terrier called Spot. Though when Nessa gets all Lady Macbeth and says, "Out out damn spot," it is because she is a Prom Slut and doesn't want a dog in her menagerie of pussies.
Dear God I my have outstayed my welcome. Ping is moaning, "enough, enough." Perhaps another coffee to go and I will get back to work.
Have a great Wednesday.

With the enormous drop off in recorded views we have seen as more and more readers use the mobile site, it is insanely difficult to reach the 25K famous story level now, let alone a 100k legendary peak. A change like this will only punctuate that new works have little or no chance of equalling these posted before the changes.![]()
