A 9 square moodboard. In the four corners are images of drag queens.  Top middle is an image of Soho, London at night. Bottom middle is a picture of a piece of colourful modern art. Middle left is a road map with a magnifying glass and set of car keys resting on top. Middle right is an image of a young man with medium length hair walking through a city at night. In the centre is a pile of newspaper cuttings with the wordd 'are the dragnificent seven back?" written over the top in a fake headline style.

While honouring his uncle's dying wish to reunite six iconic drag queen activists, a young gay man learns dark secrets about his adoptive mother. When she demands he stops his search, he must choose—his uncle’s legacy or the woman who raised him.

Time zones are fascinating. Australia is already in 2025, Europe is still 2024, and the USA is currently in 1939.

Welkin Mini The Welkin Mini is a biennial competition to celebrate micro fiction and creative non-fiction up to 100 words. Like the main Welkin Prize, it is free to enter and aims to be a welcoming space for all ...

I'm all caught up with reading for the #WelkinMini. You've got just two and a half weeks to enter if you're still scribbling a story, so now is the time to upgrade from flip-flops to trainers, but we're probably not in ice-skates territory just yet:

Word of the day is ‘forswunk’ (13th century): exhausted by work.

I like to add ‘foreswunk’, exhausted before you even begin.
