So I’m not actually here. Leave a message after the beep. But I did want to give you a post anyway so here you go. And with thanks to Lynn for another great lyric. A hint of a Wiccad series I really want to write. Enjoy! We’re all Grieving I went walking one late winter […]

Lyric Warm-Up Writing Day 19 – Opening the Wounds
There is something about breaking your own heart while writing. I’ve put this modern Wiccad lass through some serious hell in the stories most of you have yet to read. So dealing with that pain in the writing can be a moving experience. It’s hard to be strong all the time and maybe one day she […]
Lyric Warm-Up Writing Day 16 – He Who Seeks
I never know quite where the Muse will take me when I begin to write but today we went back to Ancient times and Eistoria, who you meet at the very beginning of City of the Wiccad Episode 1: Beginnings. (Small plug here, go and buy it and read it if you haven’t already and […]
Lyric Warm-Up Writing Day 14 -Lovers entwined divine
A haunting song that could only lead to a haunting tale. Sometimes it’s hard to do these without giving away spoilers of things to come in the books but I do my best. Back in time again we go, enjoy. Lovers entwined divine “We might only have this night.” “Then we love with all […]
Lyric Warm-Up Writing Day 13 -You ain't got the right.
So after a week away on holidays at the beach, I’m back. And straight back into the writing. Kelly Clarkson has always inspired a few characters, and it seems that hasn’t changed. So take a step back into the days of prohibition and pearls, and enjoy. You ain’t got the right The lights dimmed as John […]
Lyric Warm-Up Writing Day 12 -The moon only shines with the help of the sun
Today I’m not sure who the character is but this song by Karmina, that I absolutely love, moved me to a bittersweet little tale. I am sure many of us feel this way but there is always someone there to take our hand, to help us shine. And if you know someone who you think […]
Lyric Warm-Up Writing Day 11 – Some way out of here
Dear Gods, this seemed so fitting today and it did not take long for the Muse to run with the concept. And from it, an old almost forgotten character from a long discarded novel rose up and was reborn. I should call the story “Some way out of here” but it gave me it’s own name. […]
Lyric Warm-Up Writing Day 9 -She's There Watching For Me
‘Beyond the sea’ is such a wonderful song, and nowadays it reminds me of Finding Nemo and watching it with K that I was inspired to write for one of my favourite Mother-Son relationships. Rachel started in other stories but then found her own and it grew and she is another of my most beloved […]
Lyric Warm-Up Writing Day 8 -Take me away from me
I’ve gone back to where it all began, working on one of the first stories I created in RP and taking it through to where it needs to be in novels. Tienai was my first character, Jaidee (Jai the Fae) followed. Teinai has been almost as loud as her sister of late, so she decided […]
Lyric Warm-Up Writing Day 7 – Stay and Break My Heart.
Today’s lyrics come from a song I discovered toward the end of 2016 and have listened to far too many times, and danced to a fair few. So, it was almost logical that Jaidee would come into this story, but it was Balien who took control and who also gave me more pieces of the […]
