The Words

August 31, 2018August 30, 2018 ~ Kumquat Absurdium ~ Leave a comment

They're just there. For as long as I remember their low murmur has been there in the deep parts of my mind, trickling down the back of my throat so that I can't quite taste them. My hands know what my tongue can't reach. They learned to form the letters like a printing press so … Continue reading The Words

The Words Are Gone

August 19, 2015May 4, 2020 ~ Kumquat Absurdium ~ 3 Comments

The words are gone. I don't know where they are but I hope that they come back before anyone notices that they are missing. There was a day when they dripped from the trees like dew and you could pick them and taste their sweetness. You could feel them on the breeze and the water … Continue reading The Words Are Gone

Happy New Year! Here's some fireworks just for you. May it be a blessed year for you all and may you be walking closely with God.   Well, I was thinking about what to blog this year.

Hi guys! Quick Happy Birthday to the other brother by the way!  And since he's supposed to be starting his creative writing folio this week (emphasis on 'supposed to') I'll dedicate this one to him for his birthday. So your challenge is: Write a sci-fi about a kangaroo. You read it right. Now go have … Continue reading Writing Challenge – Week 41

Hi lads! Apologies for this unhallowed hour but it's been quite a day. Not sure if that's a good thing or not but hey-ho. This week's challenge (week 40 already!) is: Write a comedy but with an underlying twist of sorrow. Keep it subtle though. That's part of the skill. Ach, you guys know what … Continue reading Writing Challenge – Week 40

The Third Option

September 17, 2014May 4, 2020 ~ Kumquat Absurdium ~ Leave a comment

We were joking at the dinner table this evening that most people won't know what to vote tomorrow. 'Yes' and 'No' doesn't really cut it. 'Go'n Then' and 'Gonnae No Dae That' are probably more appropriate campaign slogans, definitely more understandable for us common folk that have no real idea about what's actually going on. The whole … Continue reading The Third Option

Writing Challenge – Week 36

Hi lads! This week's challenge is Pick something that you know absolutely nothing about and use it as the main focus of a piece of writing. I told myself I wouldn't get into this but to be fair, you could easily write this about the Scottish referendum. There has been a lot of talking and … Continue reading Writing Challenge – Week 36

Writing Challenge – Week 31

August 11, 2014 ~ Kumquat Absurdium ~ Leave a comment

Hi lads! I hope you've had a good week. My brother was just telling me about the most deliciously evil thing he's seen this week and it really cracked me up so I thought I'd share it with you. He was in McDonald's and there were two people in the queue in front of him. … Continue reading Writing Challenge – Week 31
