Warm Applause to our very own Andy Kirk

"Dying to Meet the Stars" is Andy's first attempt a short (150 Word) piece of Flash Fiction. Andy decided to enter the story into an on-line flash fiction competition judged by local author, Sue Johnson, at www.writer-toolkit.co.uk. While he was surprised and very pleased to find out that out of 150 entries I had attained 2nd position and a prize of £25.00 plus on-line publication, we are simply proud to see some excellent talent recognized.

Has it been a while?

Honestly, how long has it been since you were last in a library?

Are you still in a self imposed exile because of that over due book from 1997?

You know the one.

Yes, that paperback that is still under the wardrobe, because the wardrobe had a tendency to lean just a little to the left, so the door hung open. That book was just the right thickness... and now you can't go back, just in case...

Well, the Worcester City Library is seeking to increase it's adult membership by a 1000 this month and is giving away prizes. Anyone who signs up for a new membership or refers a friend will be entered in a draw to win gift certificates to the Little Ginger Pig Company.

Perhaps you the possibility of free food might tempt you into a health dose of self forgiveness.

Colour you ideas

Sometimes, when inspiration is waning and you find yourself stuck, it might be worth your while to try seeing your ideas in a different colour.

Romance...... romance..... romance

Mad..... mad..... mad

Sky..... sky..... sky

Somehow mad and mad just don't feel the same.
