Yes, you know it’s Tuesday, and that means Flash Fiction Foray time with Matt The Book Blogger!
As always he chooses a song as a prompt and we have to write a short 100 word piece of fiction…
Find out about it here.
“Send In The Clowns” by Judy Collins
Here goes!
Top talent judge Diamond Prowell sat next to his co-judges Felicia Vixen, Samantha Bolden and Wavid Dalliams, waiting for the next act. He’d had singing monkeys, dancing geriatrics, a number of extraordinary magicians amongst others. There had been extraordinary acts, but who was going to win? The standards were high, the competition fierce, but Diamond couldn’t help but think… Really? Is this the kind of thing Her Majesty, The Queen really wants to see? Or maybe they’re going about it all wrong?
Should we go old school?
Find jesters?
Diamond thought…. A new show idea… “Bring On The Clowns!”
I hope you enjoyed it… Now go on, have a go yourself!!!

Its that time of week again, for the haiku challenge set by the lovely Ron. Click here to see the challenge.
The prompt words are Rise & Save
Two entries from me this time!
Help…
I watch the water
Slowly rising up ahead
…who will save me now?
Bake Off Heats Heat
Checking my souffle
Rising high in the oven
…Enough to save me?

Sometime soon…
The news will come…
That my cousin’s wife
Is finally a mum!
But oh the wait
To hear some news
Boy or girl?
I sit and muse
Oh phone, please ring
Or WhatsApp, beep
I’m staring at it
Nothing, not a peep!
I think I need
To just keep busy
To stop myself getting
In such a tizzy
Baby will come
When it’s time is here
And I know that I’ll
Definitely shed a tear
My little cousin brother
Becoming a dad
I can’t quite believe it
It seems quite mad!
But still I wait
Impatiently
To coo over a pic
Of he or she!
They are far away in Australia… It’s baby number 1… We all know it can take time, but still, I just can’t wait!!!!!
IT’S A BOY!!! SO EXCITED!!!

Ok so in the 777 challenge, I posted an excerpt of the book I had started many moons ago, and there was a lot of positive reactions to it.
I just read, or re-read it, and was pleasantly surprised… I’m a few chapters into the story, nearly 13,000 words down…
So, the big question… Do you wanna read some of it? If I get enough likes and comments of encouragement, I will do… But I need coaxing… I’m nervous!
