“Only you would think it’s romantic to go to the beach in October storms!” I tilt my head into the wind and yell, “Babe, don’t you feel invigorated?” He growls, “I feel cold and all stormed out. I’m going to the beach cafe, and get coffee to warm up.” I turn to him and grin, “Get me a hot cocoa.” He kisses me gently...
When I was a little girl, I loved the rain. While everyone in my family hid from the raindrops, I headed out, with my bright yellow raincoat on, and my yellow polkadot boots, and I ran out to jump in puddles, and stand with my head tilted back, catching raindrops on my tongue. My favourite spot to be in the rain was...
Clouds seem to have a mind of their own in autumn. I love to watch them rush by my window, and imagine what they do to the earth below if they get a chance. That grey one over there looks mean, it looks like it could just drop rain at any second. And that fluffy white one… ooh I feel some mixed emotions from that...
The big oak tree in my garden is bullying me. Every time I rake up the leaves, I turn around to put them in the compost, and boom! New heap. To add insult to injury, it sometimes dumps leaves on my head while I clear away the old ones. And every time I can hear it laugh like a maniac. It keeps coming up with new...

For this challenge I’ve created the following prompts: leaves clouds rain storm cardigan pumpkin coffee You can use these words as prompts for short stories, short memoir pieces,...
I was bemoaning a jigsaw puzzle I’m doing, earlier today. It’s really cute and when it’s done it will be perfect but the pattern is way too busy for me to handle and I keep staring at pieces, thinking they could go anywhere and then set them aside, frustrated. I briefly considered putting the puzzle back in the box,...
I realised something when I woke up in a panic last night about my hospital visit today (update: the results were perfect): fear only works in absolutes. You either die right away of the disease or you live. Fear doesn’t do in between, and boy, it’s good at doom scenarios. Every time I walk out of the hospital after...
Right now there are countless machines spewing out countless perfect texts. All the language has correct spelling and is perfectly comprehensible. It’s so boring. I prefer things people make, write, doodle, craft. I rather look at your stream of consciousness, your blotchy doodle, your crappy handlettering, your...
My medication makes me feel constantly fatigued. It’s super annoying and something that I fight to counteract. The fatigue makes me want to lay in bed all day and do nothing, especially on days when my asthma is triggered. Yesterday I was DONE with that. We went thrifting, something I always love to do. It was a...
I’ve started knitting fingerless gloves again. I love knitting these things, they are quick little projects and I want a stack in a lot of colours as I wear them throughout the colder months. They keep my hands warm while I work. I just finished the first of a new set of gloves, in a pink/white/green pastel...
