Share The Love — Issue 5

Not your average ugly duckling

Image by wal_172619 from Pixabay

Week 5 is already here. Doesn’t time fly when you are having fun? It’s been another busy week in lockdown with the Facebook group up to 20 and the publication doing well too (Stats below).

My poetry is getting better and actually managed to get one curated. Things are looking good.

The publication is growing and starting to get more visitors. Which I hope will benefit every one of the writers. The Tripple Effect have asked if I would join them on a podcast to talk about the good things Share The Love is doing. Am looking forward to that. So pop over and have a look, maybe have a go at the tritriplicata too.

We are looking for two more editors to start in July. Please add a private note if you are interested.

‘Go on, I Dare Ya! Do a Prompt’

Why not shake those brain cells up a little and have a go at one of the prompts. Or have a go at all of them if you are feeling brave. So you don’t feel left out I also do the prompts.

All prompts will be added into the prompt page below. But as from next week, I will also link in on here my favourite one on each section. No pressure!
