Once upon a time (i.e. last year) I used Sundays to post my writing exercises from workshops of both prose and screenplays. Now I don’t have that many left, so I’m just posting here a random exercise – from the first day of my Wales workshop. It’s the only one unrelated to novels I must [...]

the masked ball back-story – the end
the beginning can be found here, here, here and here. See you tomorrow at the masked ball! They left the de’ Gigli household and headed back for the Embassy as the sun set on the Veniche canals. Bianga hung at Kareem’s arm. “So, what do you think of my family?” she asked, curious to hear [...]

The Masked Ball backstory – scene 4
Because watching “Une vieille maitresse” sparkled my imagination again, here is another bit of the Masked Ball backstory. Bianca stared at the stumpwork robe again, thoughtful. It was indeed a masterpiece, and she wondered once more what Lucia had seen in it (or anywhere else in the Museo, she had been edgy throughout all their [...]

The masked ball – by Barb
Starts here – my backstory for the Masked Ball on may 1st at Mesmered’s. Kareem had seen Veniche during his education years, when he was traveling to learn languages and cultures other than the Raji. He had a faded memory of palaces and canals, dark cloaks and strange masks, as he had at least once [...]

The masked ball – part 5
My back story continues. The first part is here on Mesmered’s blog. Bianca and Kareem left the palace in a comfortable carriage that would take them to Veniche as fast as possible. The inside was cozy and Bianca put down the red rose Kareem had given her upon leaving and blotted herself against him. He [...]

The Masked Ball – part 4
So, here’s the final decision. Bianca de’ Gigli with her 9 years partner Kareem Ranjeet will be attending the Masked Ball. The beginning of the story can be found at Mesmered’s. I’ll post more during the month of April, but end this with a villanelle composed by Bianca for the ball… The Masked Ball We [...]

Women on Tour writing exercise – September 2009
This is the short story that came out of that September workshop, that I eventually wrote down. It should have been critiqued by my writers group, but the December meeting is postponed to January. Thus there you have it, as it was written, the last writing exercise of the year. Bronwyn The garden bloomed with [...]

My name is Barb, and I'm a writer, sometimes an artist, mostly a world-creator and storyteller of fantasy worlds. I have more than one pen-name and write in more than one genre.
I blog about life, the universe... OK, you can guess I'm a writer, but not Douglas Adams, so I'll leave the Hitchhiker's Guide aside. And no, I'm not going to spam you by only rambling about my books - if you're interested, just go to the dedicated pages, thank you.
This is my blog, about the "creative barbwire" that I am - there's no rose without thorns, right?
Enjoy...-
