This one keeps staring at me…

I’ve Been Nobbled!
Argh! I’ve been caught doodling. They made me draw this portrait – or they’ll bite me nose off!
Frozen In Time
I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve been getting bored. I tried to keep busy by counting my noses, then fashioned a rough chess set from stones I found lying around the cave and challenged one of the monster guards – Minty Clinch – to a game or two. Trouble was. Minty kept cheating. [...]
Stories I’ll probably never finish #1
CURSE OF THE MAGNA-COW Lightning, as Mrs Cow was about to discover, hurts. But it doesn’t only hurt. Sometimes lightning can make strange, wondrous things happen. Sometimes, lightning can be almost magical. Mostly, though, it just plain hurts. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZAP! See? Mrs Cow didn’t ask to be struck by lightning. In fact, it’s probably safe to [...]
Shudder
I’m not sure what scares me most right now: the monsters or, frankly, my fellow captive authors. The way certain of my colleagues here are already slipping into classic hostage behaviour is starting to worry me. Fraternizing with our jailers is one thing (“leg stroking” indeed!) but turning on each other? Mark, I’m astonished. [And [...]
HOTDOGS
Finally, a chance to blog. For several days I have been keeping a low profile to figure out what these beasties really want. One of them has had its beady eye on me the whole time. He has the head of a snake, the body of a snake, and the legs of a snake. It’s [...]
Now wait just a minute!
I shouldn’t be here. Now before you all start giving it “nor should we”, let me explain. It seems that we’ve been kidnapped on the basis that we have created some stories in which monsters have – how can I put this – received something of a raw deal. A sword through the eye in [...]
A Way Out!
OK, so I was terrified at first, and maybe I’m still a little bit terrified, but then I decided that if we were ever going to get out of our monstrous predicament, we were going to have to be a bit devious. So I’ve been hanging out with one of our captors. I chose him [...]
We’re Doomed!
OK… I made a pile of all our books and climbed up to see if I could find an escape route for myself us. It’s worse than we thought. On the other side of that ridge are thousands upon thousands on monsters. Even if we used Baz as a battering ram, we’d only get through [...]
Do we have an imposter amongst us?
Whilst I was trying to get to sleep last night amongst all the weird sounds (most of which were coming from the direction of Baz and Tommy, with the occasional wiffle from Joe – what is it with that wiffling anyway?) I thought a little more about the question I asked in my last post. I’m [...]
