In 2014 I started this blog because I wanted to improve my writing. I didn’t exactly know what to write about, but since I was taking a series of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) at the time, I wrote about those a bit. I registered with coursera and loved it.
I also posted a few pieces of creative writing, but there never was much feedback (me being painfully introvert and this not being such a popular blog) until I found Rochelle’s Friday Fictioneers.

April has gone and May has arrived and where I live it is rainging and rather cold. Which is good, we need the water. Several years in a row now it hardly ever rained during the winter and if it did, it was a downpour (meaning that the water flushes off quickly and doesn’t have a chance to get into the ground) or a slight drizzle that hardly got the surface wet. We didn’t have much snow either. So, the rain is nothing to complain about, really.
How was your April? Did you find the time to write, to meet your goals? Tell us all about it.
Here are our standard questions:
Do you need a little incentive for writing more regularly? Then this project is for you.

People see faces everywhere. The face on Mars. The face of Jesus on toast. Or was that the virgin Mary? No matter. It’s silly.

The old grouch. That’s what they called me. Even my wife.
They couldn’t appreciate cynicism and sarcasm. It’s an art form, a creative skill I refined.

I loved this picture the moment I saw it. But I couldn’t decide what to write. That’s why I’m late…

The bright lights floating on the ocean were drawing millions of people to the world’s beaches.

Since that one is the future and Classic won’t likely be functional by next year, I’ve collected a few tips and tricks how I made my peace with the block editor.
This will be image-heavy. Don’t open the full post it if you have a slow connection.

This picture reminded me of one that was posted some time ago on the Friday Fictioneers challenge. Back then I wrote a 100-word flash fiction piece called ‘Singularity‘. So I wrote a sequel to that story. I hope, it isn’t too confusing.

“What has he done now?”
