Day 7 – Creative Challenge
I am doing Meredith Lewis (@dangerousmere) daily creative prompt and today it’s to write as if I’ve been shipwrecked. My name is McCoy. Able Seaman William McCoy of His Majesty’s Ship the Bounty. Or, I was. I’m not sure what I am anymore – or who I am. I belong to no ship now. The […]
Creative Challenge – Day 6
I am doing Meredith Lewis creative challenge and today’s creative prompt is “Who’s Future Am I Living?” I don’t know where I am. I look around me and I see a room. There is so much light. I look around and see a chair, a cat quietly dozing on a lounge. Books, lots of books. […]
