Escapril 2022: Time (Non-linear)

Hours early and minutes late, the tick tick tick of eager paranoia 

I have to see the plane is there with nervous hours spare though I know better

Spiraled thoughts of no taxi cabs and long security lines still haunt this frequent flyer

But it is always so much faster, check points ticked in record time

Here at three past two as planned, into the air at six fifteen

And I am the fool for my worry sitting at gate thirty five, but I’m not alone

The speaker crackles of unforeseen delays, flight’s now eight forty five

Then sings the choir of groans and shuffling bags, a tired traveller grumbles “where’s that damn airport bar”

 

Prompt: Time (Non-linear)

Over the last few weeks I’ve been going through Over the last few weeks I’ve been going through some heavy duty editing of my novel which has been so rewarding seeing it come together better than ever. But being sick this week I took a break and drew out the world map and Academy map from my book which was a lot of fun. Looking forward to finishing these edits in the next month so I can start sharing with beta readers!! ✨#editing #mapmaking #fantasymap #fantasynovel #fantasybook #novel #writer #currentlywriting #betareaders #novelwriting #manuscript #manuscriptedits

In the spirit of reconciliation I acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. I pay my respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today. The land on which I work and live belongs to the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation.
