Today's Prompt came in the form of a question: Why am I here? Lets see where this goes...
Author: Sophie J Clark
Hi, I'm Sophie. I'm a cis-woman, polyamorous and pansexual as well as an author with a degree in counselling, and a general love of philosophy...and history. I like to look on the brighter side of life, whilst happily delving into the darker aspects of humanity. The world is far too interesting to be black and white!

Story Starts – Why am I dying this time?
This weeks writing prompt was provided by the wonderful, Danchou. It caught my attention the moment I read it and the eventual outcome went a TOTALLY different way to what we'd both predicted. Which was fun.

Interesting Times
We are living in interesting times, people. Interesting indeed. For those of us who make it through this, and I do hope that I am one of them, then we shall, at least, have some good stories to tell.

Writing Prompt: It was safe inside the cave…
With seven days to go to the publication of Blindsided, I thought I'd share with you how I keep track of the ideas that are too good to put down.

Fears are normal. Everyone has them - and I do mean EVERYONE. So why is it that some can get past them and others find it so much harder to do?

What I’ve Learned from Writing Excuses
Writing Excuses is one of the few podcasts I listen to nowadays. So, why is that, and what has it taught me? #T3ddyTalk #SophieJClark
What 300 words a day has taught me.
"I'm a procrastinator. I've known this ever since my mother had to sit me down... to explain that I could finish all the homework I'd put off if I made a plan — and stuck to it... That was the day I learned the importance of writing it down..."
Optimism, what is it good for?
I’m an Optimist. I always have been. I see no point in spending most of your life miserable and focussing on every little thing that could possibly go wrong…in order to prepare yourself for when things do go wrong. Yes, you need a certain amount of knowledge and a little bit of thought must be given over to ‘what if this happens’, but after that?
Thought of the Day #11
Teddy put up a writing prompt in our group chat today. It said: "Prompt 11: These are my rules for writing and life. 1. 2. 3. 4." It got me thinking. I really don’t have many ‘rules’ that I live by. Not for my writing, nor for my everyday life, but I have developed a few guidelines over the past few years.
Thinking, Writing and Habit Formation
I set myself a goal last year. A goal of typing a minimum of 300 words a day, every day, for a year. Most of the days, I'd sit there and stare at the blank page, telling myself, "It's only 300 words, it’s fine..."
