Say hello to Nerine Dorman

October 11, 2011 by Icy Sedgwick 4 Comments

Friday Flash – Chasing The Storm

October 7, 2011 by Icy Sedgwick 22 Comments

Tempesta dashed across the meadow. She stabbed the wet grass with long metal stakes as she ran, forming a network of upturned glass jars on iron poles.

NaNoWriMo 2011

October 4, 2011 by Icy Sedgwick 4 Comments

It’s coming up to that time of year when the blogosphere threatens to implode under the weight of NaNoWriMo posts. Are you doing it? Are you giving it a miss? Do you think it’s the worst thing to happen to fiction since Stephanie Meyer? I did my first NaNoWriMo in 2008 and wrote the first […]

Friday Flash – A Change

September 30, 2011 by Icy Sedgwick 21 Comments

Bare feet skip along a woodland path. Sunlight peeks through the tree branches overhead. It dances on blonde hair, streaming behind the young woman. She whistles a cheerful melody as she skips. A young deer streaks through the trees, and she calls out a greeting. The deer pauses, snorts a reply, and disappears into the […]
