https://deborahriccio.wordpress.com/2016/04/23/shortlisted
April 23, 2016. And I’m hugely and highly delighted (always nice to be alliterative about these things) to say that the people at Fresher Publishing. Have also deemed my short story entry ‘Vee’ worthy of sitting on their shortlist (winners announced on 19th May in Bournemouth, so if I ever needed an excuse to be beside the seaside, this surely is it).

She doesn’t really want to be here. I knew the minute she spotted me and waved like she’d won a game show; that display of artificial sincerity. It’s hurtful, of course, though what can you do?

https://deborahriccio.wordpress.com/2016/08/31/exercise-p-141-magic-realism
Exercise P.141. Magic Realism. August 31, 2016. I’ve been proper struggling with this section of Part 4 (Project 5: The 20th Century) because it deals with magic realism, fantasy and other-worldly writings, and that’s not. My bag. I haven’t read a great deal of what I’d call ‘fantasy’ because I’m a realist girl, but the list goes a little like:. A The Magic Faraway Tree – Enid Blyton (in my youth, it’s not on the coffee table downstairs). F Doctor Sleep – Stephen King. Not having read ‘Th...G Slade House...

December 16, 2016. He’d positioned the gift it so that it would be hidden all through Christmas. Then on the twelfth night, once the decorations had been removed and they were carefully packing the tinsel and baubles up ready for next year, she’d find it nestling securely between the inner branches of the tree and she’d be so surprised and delighted it’d be like Christmas morning all over again.

And not for the first time he wishes he could still speak of these wonderings to his darling, sweet Elsie as they sit beside the four bar fire in their council flat, a light ale and a sweet sherry in...
