Life in words

The trials, tribulations and occasional nonsense of a fiction writer. Life really is too absurd not to write about it.

Making a Hash of the B Word

November 13, 2019November 14, 2019 ~ Jessie ~ 3 Comments

I need to let off steam, and it's not for the reason you might think... Don't fret, this ain't political; I'm not here to lecture, I'll leave those folks with stronger views than mine to come and getch'ya, It's not for me to tell you what your opinion ought to be, Nor is it for … Continue reading Making a Hash of the B Word

To Know One’s Place

April 23, 2017 ~ Jessie ~ Leave a comment

Is it such a heinous crime to want to know my place? A notion of what's gone before and what I've yet to face? Is it so surprising I should leave marks in my wake? Must I be despised for each impression that I make? I have no wish to be cast adrift in the midst of this adventure, … Continue reading To Know One’s Place

Saviour of Sheep

March 13, 2017April 18, 2017 ~ Jessie ~ Leave a comment

I've no great fondness for sheep beyond how they taste with mint sauce, Though in winter it's quite nice to have to hand a good woolly jumper, of course.

Other than that I am … Continue reading Saviour of Sheep

March 10, 2017January 4, 2020 ~ Jessie ~ Leave a comment

By day he was a gentleman, all good and rich and proper, He wore the latest fashions – a sartorial show-stopper. He could handle well a curricle, ride his stallion at full speed, He attended church on Sundays and all but pissed Noblesse Oblige. His house was grand, his fortune large, he was, in all, … Continue reading Mr Darcy: Superhero

A little bit of nonsense goes a long way

Fuzziness and grumblinoss, Snifflinky bungedup snozenges, Snortingy sniffinuss sneezeburgers, I've lost the Strepsil lozenges.

To do, or not to have done

March 2, 2017April 18, 2017 ~ Jessie ~ Leave a comment

I've torn a leaf from my diary, And used it to make a list, Of things I've to do on the morrow, Of things that are not to be missed. But what of the page that was torn out? When I get there, what will be gone? On that day I could have been writing, … Continue reading To do, or not to have done
