Here be dragons.
Put the sound of bird chatter in your mind. If you haven’t heard them in awhile find an audio file online, there’s bound to be at least one on YouTube. Now write.

“Some days I feel I AM that sound a door makes when it creaks open in a horror movie. Sort of slow and agonized and slightly creepy.”

We think of grey as a gloomy colour, for sad things, rainy days. But, grey is a darker shade of silver and grey is pretty too.

I found a “Blushing Necklace” at Nesting Pretty Things shop on Etsy. Very pretty with that romantic, soft and slightly fragile look.… Read the rest
