The Curse of the Blue Tick
Ah, Twitter. I love Twitter. It’s the smoking shelter of social media, where everyone is talking over one another but no one knows who’s quite listening. A pixelated realm of funny ‘facts’, public debacles, and home to sarcastic trolls. It is a bit of everything and anything, and yet also a microblog of nothing and mindless bullshit.

Hey Arthur
Saturday 15th April 2023 If not delivered return to Mossy Bottom Farm - Hey Arthur, My beautiful baby boy. You are currently in the living room making a mess with all your toys. You love the ones that sing, and shine with the bright lights, as well as watching Shaun the Sheep - he brings such a delight. You are a little artist in the making despite all the mess, the things you draw make me feel very blessed. Although you don't read your books because you eat them instead, then you kick off your clean pillows and bounce on your bed!

What is an Epistolary?. Top Story - April 2023.
I woke up this morning to my delight and I see a new challenge - epistolary. Epstoilaries are one of my favourite forms of novels. I was first introduced to them during my time in sixth-form education. It was a Gothic Literature class and of course, we studied great classics such as Bram Stocker's Dracula (1897) and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1818). What they have in common as well as their genres are their very form.

Why I Changed My Name
Hello, my lovelies. I hope you are well and keeping safe out there. My name is Rosie, and I recently changed my name. I'm about to get rather personal. This article features abuse and death so please proceed with caution. Also a few swears so sorry nan, grandad, dad and everyone else in our massively complicated family tree.

The Village is Dead Because it's All About Me
Social media has [un]intentionally bred a generation of narcissists that have taken positivity to the very edge of toxicity, in the name of self-love and self-acceptance. We love ourselves so much that we have become overtly self-absorbed and the pandemic has only driven this further.

A Week Full of Signs
I saw a polar bear in the clouds, with the sun shining behind. We were driving down old roads covered in potholes. We took a corner and there I saw the sight - it was; a polar bear in the sky, made out of white clouds, with one paw slightly raised, gliding across a sunset in February, covering the cool orange sun rays. We take another corner and of course we lost sight of the polar bear. We got home from our journey, cooked dinner, and went to bed - the usual stuff.

To Write or Not to Write?
To write or not to write? That is indeed the question. I know don't tell me - cliche or what? Yet, have you ever had that feeling where: you want to write but also don't want to? It's as if, you aren't quite in the realm of writer's block but you're not exactly in the free flow of creativity either, it just feels like you're stuck, like Niflheim or purgatory.
