"The period you awaited, wanted even, has become a strange visitor that has no itinerary. It arrives more angrily and sporadically, an intruder who breaks windows and screams." ONE IN TEN BY NIKKI DUDLEY ISSUE 11 @nikkidudleywriter.bsky.social acropolisjournaluk.wixsite.com/acropolisjou...
I had the pleasure of attending an event run by one of Rebecca Swift Foundation's Creative Associates, Kuli Kohli and it makes me so happy to see poetry communities coming together to show support for one another and poetry in general. #PoetsOfBluesky unite!

I want to bring out a new thriller & since I've had no luck with publishers, I think it'll have to be all me. Will you support me?! I also need maybe 1 more reader after making some changes. Any takers? Would love someone who loves or writes thrillers. #WritingCommunity #ThrillerWriters
