Well I’ve decided, I’m writing a novel. This project is probably going to start to consume my life, but don’t worry, I’ll still be blogging regularly! I’ll be sending out status updates here on the blog and still be doing my various challenges to boost my creativity! Anyway, see you later and keep writing!

“We sur-” Father was interrupted. A man with a pistol stood in front of the Isomes and other passengers.
“Now I don’t want any messing here, give me all of your luggage, NOW!!!” The man with a pistol was a thief.
“All o-”
“ALL OF IT!!!” the man bellowed. As Father reached for the suitcase, Mother grabbed his hand and blocked his attempt of grabbing the suitcase. She was in denial towards the man.
“What do you think you’re doing missy?” the man questioned.
“I’m not giving you the suitcase is what I’m doing you jerk!” Mother stated.
“I don’t like your attitude…” announced the man. A few moments later, *BANG*. The Isome’s eyes filled with a nimiety of tears….

Nimiety – Excess or overabundance
It was an exciting day for the Isome family. They were going to Tokyo, Japan not for a holiday, but for life! The main character of our story, Joe Isome had a cupidity to go to Japan one day. Well that desire as of today has been resolved! Joe was taking the 12 hour flight from London to Tokyo with his beloved mother and father. He was an only child so he had no siblings. As he arrived in Tokyo, he stepped off the plane and took a great, deep breath of fresh Tokyo air.
“This is the life I’ve always wanted.” said Joe calmly.
“We’re just glad we can make you happy!” expressed Mother.
“We sur-” Father was interrupted….

Cupidity – Eager or excessive desire
It was a peaceful day, sun shining, gentle ocean breeze and azure skies. The residents of the peaceful town were relaxing at the beach having a tranquilizing session with their feet up. However, There was a loud crashing noise followed by a murmuration of vociferous seagulls. Silence. The crowd rushed over to the source of the noise to catch a glimpse of what happened. To their gaze met a beached dolphin that crashed into the pier. To the crowd’s desperation, they fetched bucket, after bucket, after bucket of water to dump over the dolphins head. Meanwhile, the rest of the crowd were trying to stop the bleeding from the dolphin’s wound with their shirts followed by a bucket of sea water to hopefully sterilise the wound. Subsequently, the paramedics arrived at the scene to investigate the gathering of people as, luckily, one of the crowd members had a mobile phone just in case something happened. The paramedics tried to stop the bleeding, but the wound was too big. The dolphin, unfortunately died of blood loss.
Vociferous – Crying out noisily
I have found this great idea on the internet for a writing challenge! Basically each day you go to dictionary.com and look at the “Word of the Day” and that is your prompt for your short story. I will provide the definition of the word used at the end of the post (unless it’s obvious!). See you guys later!
~Aidan (日本語JourneyToFluency)
As you all (probably) already know, I am Aidan Shaw from 日本語 Journey to Fluency. However, I have decided to practice my English and writing skills to then develop my Japanese writing skills on my other blog ( japanesejtf.wordpress.com ). On this blog, I will be:
Writing English short stories,
Completing writing challenges, and
Writing short poems (probably Haikus).
Hope to write to you all soon!
