The Suddenly Kate Show

II'm watching a TV show. It's an American reality show on BET channel. I feel because I'm white that maybe I'm not supposed to watch this channel but I do anyway. 
So I'm watching and she is in LA and goes for an audition for an acting role. At the last minute they ask her to read for a different role, the character in question is a larger woman, and Kierra (who had a previous negative experience with an acting audition that was weight related (she was much larger)) is worried that she is going to always be typecast as the fat girl. So she says she needs to work out in order to avoid being typecast.
I get that, I'm not deluded about society and the pressures put upon people to confirm and be aesthetically pleasing, and for particular jobs you do need to fit a certain mould. 
But god I'm annoyed! Why can't leading ladies be fat and not always fall into the stereotypical fat character? Why can't writers write characters whose strength and humour is not g…

Hi,

I thought I would try some five sentence fiction but it seems to be on a hiatus or finished or something, so inspired by a song drifting about in my head, I have written some five sentence fiction. My inspiration was soundtrack, so feel free to join in and leave your link in the comments!

Soundtrack
The music tiptoed through the room, a slight crackle from the analogue radio...life is but a dream, its what you make it, always try to give, dont ever take it...she opened the window to let some of the autumn breeze into the airless flat.

The song echoed of times long past when love was the only thing people seemed to worry about and she longed to have grown up then.

If she had, maybe life would have been a dream, she gazed up at the moonlit sky and let her eyes search for a shooting star upon which she could wish.

No star appeared and she knew she would have to face life head on.

From out of the corner of her eye she saw movement behind her in the flat, she turned to see him trying t…

Hiya,

So I promised stories, tales, poetry, crafts etc. and here I am with none of that.

I do have some very sad news that one of the blog followers has ABANDONED US! Yes us, we're a team :)

Ah well, onwards and upwards.

Quick life update, health is no better and left elbow is thinking about joining in with right (at which point I will look like one of those drumming duracell bunnies!), I do however have an appointment next week which i am hoping will provide some light at the end of the tunnel.

I am also back at work! It was nice to see everyone.

And, I havent forgotten I promised to post Act of Love chapter by chapter, the first chapter needs work so once I have done that then look out!

Only 4 weeks till I am off to America to visit Keebles from Keebles World!

To substitute my lack of anything creative here I will give you the a song from Narrow Plains (who have recently released a new single! Go check it out!)

Hello!

How long has it been? Ok, its been a while.

I went for my MRI results and the verdict (even though I was previously informed this wasnt the case) was that I had an infection and they decided to hospitalise me whilst they gave me antibiotics intravenously.

I did write to you all every day that I was in hospital, telling you about the days activities and very dull stuff that I doubt you would have wanted to know about. So, I have decided not to bore you all with 3000 words of my five days in hospital.

Anyway, they released me and I was marginally improved, I didnt skip out as I had hoped sadly but hospitals are no fun.

About two days before I left to go to the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, my right elbow seized up and now I have a linp, a swollen hand and finger permanently frozen in 'the bird' pose, an arm that won't straighten or bend and sharp shooting pains in my shoulder and neck. Oh yeah, its been fun!

Glasgow was fun however, and even though at times it was a…
