“Don’t tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.” Anton Chekhov
Thanks, Spidey.
The whole writing thing is on my mind at the moment.
After not hearing anything back from the First Novel Competition, I was tempted to fall into a wallowing muddle, but because I had the charity walk to do, I wasn’t allowed to.
Instead, it made me think back to the fact that I LOVE my story, and I know the couple of people who read it for me in its unaltered state, enjoyed it too.
The biggest thing was to read through and do that whole ‘show, don’t tell’ thing. I was very guilty of it at the beginning as I started writing this piece as a young, inexperienced writer, and I have grown so much since then.
So, this is my next step.
Really combing through it and working out where I can do more showing, and less telling, and tweaking the plot where certain suggestions were made.
It’ll still involve a lot more work, but I know it will be worth it…
Because it is my dream. My story will be told. My book will be out there soon enough!
Tell me about a dream of yours that you have worked really hard to try and achieve 😘
Have a peaceful Sunday Peeps ❤ And enjoy your week!

Thanks, Spidey.
A quick shoutout to all those Cancer patients and survivors out there.
I’ll be recovering from my fundraising walk for Cancer Research UK when you read this.
(Actually, I hope we will have actually finished…!)
But no matter!
We have raised a great amount to help this charity continue doing the amazing work they do.
We have all been touched by this disease, in one way or another, either knowing someone who has suffered and come through, or sadly lost their fight, or even been one of the warriors against it ourselves.
Here’s hoping there will be a time when Cancer is a thing of the past…
If you were to fundraise for a charity, which would it be? 😘
Have a peaceful Sunday Peeps ❤ And enjoy your week!

“My colleagues think I’m Pants-(tastic)!” – Ritu
This will be the slogan on badges I think I am going to make for a new initiative I’ve started at school!
Yup, it’s that “Art of Brilliance” course that inspired it again! Check my post out about it here, if you haven’t seen it before!
He talked about special pants and the fact that every day is special, so we shouldn’t save our special pants for a particular day, but make each day count.
I got to thinking, after having seen a staff appreciation wall in another school, and came up with an underpant related idea for our establishment, and ran it past my Head, who loved it!
Anyone can take a pair of appreci-pants and write a comment celebrating another member of staff, or thanking them. It makes you feel pants (tastic) when you are appreciated!
So, here’s the poem I penned…
And these are all the bits and bobs I put together to create the display. It has been introduced to the staff who will hopefully take it on board. Whoever has seen it has said the love the idea!
I’m hoping plenty of pants will be up there over the next few days!
The badges were an idea of another colleague – I am so tempted!
