September 2025's #30Words30Days challenge coincided with a #roadtrip I'd planned from #Sydney to #Uluru with my dog. Despite being on the road, I was determined to write and post my daily #30wordstories. ❤️ ✍️ 🚍 🐶 #writers #writing #microfiction #dogs #vanlife

Despite the kilometres I've clocked up on my #Sydney to #Uluru #roadtrip, I've still had time to write 30-word stories for September! ✍️ #writers #writingcommunity #writing #flashfiction #microfiction #30wordstories #30words30dayscommunity #blogpost

Today's #30words30days prompt word could be "loss" because I'm missing Danielle Baldock's daily 30-word story challenge on Bluesky! I wrote about the June challenge and shared my #30wordstories in a blog post. 👇

I typically use #30Words30Days to kick start my writing day, and write whimsical and philosophical stories. But given our Trumpian world, June's had a sharper edge. ✍️

Today's penultimate prompt word for June's #30words30days on Bluesky and Twitter is "yawn". Took me a moment to write this amazing, unmatched and beautiful 30-word story. But I may have to leave my phone at home if I ever travel to Trump's America! 🙄
The President has centre stage and is grand standing his AMAZING achievements, UNMATCHED wisdom, and BEAUTIFUL hair. I'm nodding my head behind him, eyes fixed, smiling, and stifling a yawn! ✍️

Ha! This post popped up in my Facebook timeline memories AFTER I'd written and posted my 30-word story for today's #30words30days prompt word, "yellow":
Yellow daffodils remind me of happier times in England when winters thawed. "Look, the first daffodil of spring," I say to my wife. "It's a jonquil," she retorts without looking. ✍️
The flower in post is not a "silly daffodil", it's a jonquil, as my wife corrected me in 2023! 😂
The prompt word for today's #30words30days story on Bluesky is "yield".
By coincidence, I'm currently reading The Yield by Tara June Winch. I bought the novel after she won the Miles Franklin Award in 2020, but to my shame, it's been sitting in my to-be-read pile ever since.
However, The Yield is this month's selection for my Indigenous Writers Book Club and I'm loving the book! So, I paid homage to it with today's 30-word story:
The police found him dead in bed, crushed by his pile of to-be-read books. But he was smiling, with The Yield propped on his nose, opened at the first chapter. ✍️

Wonder what inspired my #30words30days 30-word story on Bluesky for today's daily prompt word, "object"? 🤔
NASA informed the President they had detected an object on a collision course with Earth. He was more concerned about the impact it would have on his 80th birthday parade. ✍️
