Sacha’s #Writespiration prompt this week.
Your most embarrassing moment… and yes, it can be fiction, but I’d much prefer memoir! Give me juicy memories and gossip :p
Imagine this,
First push up bra
Excitedly sitting
In the car
A wedding party
Time to dance
My bra stuffing
Saw its chance
Worked its way out
Of my bust
On Wonderbras
I do not trust
My cousin waved
My pad around
No hiding place
Was to be found
Stupid push-up bra!
A true story!
And I posted the full version here if you fancy a giggle!

After all the hype, and the moans and groans from Sacha about this book as it started as a tiny zygote (idea) and became an embryo (opinion polls etc.), then a foetus (first draft), through to the time of painful contractions (editing) and labour (publishing), I had to get my hands on a copy! (Actually I got two… Kindle and then the Paperback!)
And I really wasn’t disappointed! Here reads my review, on Amazon and Goodreads.
Star Rating: 
Never, as a fledgeling writer, did I think I would ever want/need to read ‘how to’ books regarding writing, much less a book about crafting Villains!
To be honest, in my writing, I have never really thought about the need for a villain, though after reading this book, I realise that they are EVERYWHERE!
Whether in a children’s book, or Science fiction, in Chick Lit or Fantasy, there will be a villain lurking, and now I know how to
a) spot one, and
b) create one!
Sacha Black has, in a mere 13 steps, shown us would-be (and experienced!) writers exactly what our thought process should be regarding those negative characters that are omnipresent in Literature.
Using her immense knowledge of popular characters form both Fiction, TV and Film, she has created a guide that gives you many ‘A-ha!’, ‘Of course!’ and ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ moments!
A great and simple book to read with so much information, presented in a humorous way.
Definitely one to recommend to all those writers out there!
I didn’t mention them in my review, but the Appendices were fantastic too, I think they are something I will be referring to a lot!
13 Steps To Evil is now on sale and for one week only, you can get it at the bargain price of £1.99. After the 7th June, it will go up to its normal price of £2.99. So make sure you download it ASAP to avoid missing out on the launch promotion.

Sacha’s back with her #Writespiration prompt this week.
Your challenge is to write your story using the weekly theme/prompt and write it in just 52 words…. EXACTLY, no more, no less.
Tell me the story of why this room is empty!
Everything.
They took everything.
Not one fixture or fitting left to adorn the walls of this now bare shell of a room.
“If the bank are chucking us out, we aren’t leaving a thing, not even the carpet!” Rhys exclaimed.
They left, but not before unearthing a floorboard…that would make them think!

Sacha’s back with her weekly #writespiration prompt!
Your challenge is to write your story using the weekly theme/prompt and write it in just 52 words…. EXACTLY, no more, no less.
This week I want you to continue the sentence below (the sentence doesn’t count in your 52 words).
It stared at me…
…goading me, teasing me, inviting me to come and choose it, to open it up, to love it again.
It seemed to be asking me why I hadn’t visited for so long, and when I would finish it.
I ran my mouse over it, hovered.
Should I click?
My work in progress…

Love Sacha’s #writespiration prompt this week!
Writespiration #114 52 Weeks in 52 Words Week 18
Your challenge is to describe an object in the most filthy way you can in 52 words, while being wholly accurate and use a pingback so everyone can guess.
So… here we go, how filthy can we get…?!
Comment with your answers!!!
Succulent you taste.
As my teeth sink in,
you spurt
your juices all around
my face.
I lick my lips.
Now let’s do something
different
I dip you into
creamy whiteness.
You drip
thick drops.
Catch them with my tongue
Pure heaven!
I lick my fingers
then pop you in my mouth…
