FINALLY Rainbow’s Book of Prompts is out in the world yay!

Back in 2024 I wrote three posts about my little writing journey and then disappeared for a bit.

As it’s been two years (rather than the week I said it would be) I will link the previous parts of the story at the bottom of the post.

‘You wrote a book?’ Yes I did. Several in fact.

I had the privilege of hosting the #7syllablesentence on BlueSky earlier this month. My chosen theme was New Year. I enjoy the challenge of writing my responses to the #7syllablesentence. It requires creative thinking to write something that includes the prompt word the host has selected so when the opportunity to host came up I was happy to volunteer.
