With every word, writers show the world it is already whole. Loved. Beautiful and free. Limitless.
I’m the host here in this community. My goal is to create an inspiring and engaging virtual space where we can share our love of writing. Writing is my first love, the back bone of all that I do.
The writer’s eye speaks to the deepest listening we can do in life. It is feeling. It is a personification of the spiritual heart, and collective in the most profound way.
Fact, fiction, poetry or prose. Write ON.

Writer, Let this week be double happiness – a writer’s date and a prompt. It’s this simple: You are the character – in your own mind. Dress up if you like, or keep it a secret. Be yourself or someone else. Be fact or fiction. But most important, be from the future. Fact, fiction, […]

Writer, Write thyself. Our work as writers is to translate the world through our own experience, and then express it with words that slide the exquisite beauty of life into the heart of a reader, without a trace. To the reader, it is their own interpretation of our work, and thus their owned […]

Written by: Adrienne Yeardye; Consciously Woman I re-entered the atmosphere Stars aligned seamlessly before me After a conversation with the Man on the Moon. The Manitoba sunset fused my history With my bones. Balancing the lighter on the dashboard Upright The cars became cars again Destined for home.
Written by: Adrienne Yeardye; Consciously Woman I want to glue them all together: The stars; Plastics; Provolone; Love. I want them to know there is less than one molecule between them, That they are not special. I want them to know how the Universe becomes them. Equally. And that they should be so honoured.
Written by: Adrienne Yeardye; Jupiter’s Hive I’m kidding. I am The Caterpillar. But that doesn’t make much sense to me either. Truth is, I’m Jack.

Written by: Adrienne Yeardye; Jupiter’s Hive I did see him first. I tried to duck back into the bank, but the pull towards him was too great. He felt me and stopped dead, looking up from his phone. There was no need to motion me over; my feet were already crossing the street. Magnetism is […]
Written by: Adrienne Yeardye; Jupiter’s Hive I arrived at the party, already one in, with an entire bag of bacon treats evenly spread between the pockets of my jeans and my left sock.

And ultimately it was that job that drove me to this: The Book of Revelations is written on the souls of my feet Written by: Adrienne Yeardye; Jupiter’s Hive
I’m never sure exactly what wakes me. I’m never sure if my eyes are open to the smell of coffee, to the breeze off the lake and through the sunshine, or if to the glint of the blue stain glass, its twinkling. The cat is always purring gently, and I always wonder how long she’s […]
Calling all ya’ll: Do you have a figurative secret garden? Tell us about it!
For the record, my heart’s desire is to write fiction. Truth and fact, that’s easy and utilitarian. The real challenge, the real love of my life, is always the mythical, that force grinding the dullness off of the edges and sharpening life into the beauty that it already is. We do not resist fiction. We […]

HI I’m Adrienne Yeardye. I am currently living in Hamilton Ontario. I moved here to be close to my family, especially to be near my Grandpa.

My Grandpa lies. Big ones. Fat ones. Short ones. Skinny ones. And he’s good too. He can tell a thorough half-truth while shoe-horning into his hushpuppies, without even blinking an eye. In fact, some of his best lies are so good, they have been happily, and knowingly, traded for the truth. When I was […]
Technically, Martin died of a stroke. The sound of his head hitting the floor pierced the silence. By the time the ice cubes from his Manhattan came to a gentle stop on the immaculate hardwood, he had arrived, and was sitting comfortably in the wing back by the fire. He was relieved that his body […]

When my agent told me she had just the gig to cure my mid-career crisis, of course I guffawed. I told her I still felt like I was 20. She said: “Yes. Ill-humoured, under-fed, and over-caffeinated. You’re a train wreck.” “Whatever. I look fabulous! These shoes are in, my friend.” “Yes. If you are 20. […]
