Writing and reviews with an environmental, science fiction, and fantasy touch
Visitor or squirrel? A tricky choice for the #writephoto prompt from KL Caley at New2writing.com. I leaned more towards the ‘squirrel’ aspect… Have I mentioned an idea for a book of Roscoe and Neville adventures for readers around 7 years
Upsizing – although not so much inspired by the picture as the word from KL Caley at New2Writing.com. Last week I revisited a house I had really liked, but was sold before I’d sold mine. I just wanted to see
I chose cake over tractor for this week’s #writephoto. Is that cheating? I mean, we did a tractor story a couple of weeks back, so another tractor prompt was a bit much. Sorry KL Caley at new2writing.com. I hope you
Fog and Halloween. I can see the way KL Caley’s mind is working for the week’s #writephoto prompt at New2Writing.com. I have a series of features I’ve written in the past, featuring the guinea pigs as themselves, tangling with supernatural
Gargoyle: one of my favourite architectural features. I took many photos of them at Norwich RC Cathedral when I went there for a conference once and we had a ‘special’ tour, including the roof. But ‘gargoyle’ is also the #writephoto
It’s a nice cemetery. Not all ghoulish, and crusty crooked headstones. Hang on, I haven’t started the fiction yet. This is today’s #writephoto prompt from KL Caley at New2writing.com, coming in at just under 1000 words. Okay, you can read
Woodland is this week’s writephoto prompt from KL Caley at New2Writing.com. I did hear someone say they thought this a less-than-inspiring picture, but I delved into the depths of those watery shadows straightaway. This is around 750 words, and a
Tower, and a lovely one, is the #writephoto prompt for this week from KL Caley at New2Writing.com. It’s the second tower we’ve had, but it’s very different from the last, which starred Prince Engineer George. So this my story, just
Farming. That is a really difficult prompt this week from KL Caley at New2Writing.com. Of course, my colleagues will come up with brilliant takes on the idea. People I meet at craft fairs ask where my ideas come from. Without
The red door. I’ve always thought red a great colour for a front door, although I’ve never used it. This is the prompt from KL Caley at New2Writing.com for this week’s #writephoto. I’m posting this 870 word flash fiction a
A meeting place in the woods. I had a few ideas as soon as I saw the #writephoto prompt from KL Caley at New2Writing.com on Thursday afternoon. That was before the world changed fundamentally, for several million people, and most
Fledgling. I always dither about words with -dg- combined with -ling when writing them. Some surnames and placenames have an e, some don’t. Why? Swan. That’s this week’s #writephoto prompt from KL Caley at New2Writing.com. Fledgling was last week’s. I
A chapel, built of stone, in an area of broken down ruins, perhaps. That’s the photoprompt from KL Caley at New2Writing.com for #writephoto this week. I enjoyed developing this idea. It’s amazing what you can see in a photograph. Just
Solitude. I had no idea what I was going to write for this prompt from KL Caley at New2writing.com. After I set up the post I finished reading one book and started on Femina, which I’m reviewing at the end
Ribbit! was a fantastic prompt from KL Caley at New2Writing.com for this week’s #writephoto. Having clarified that it was a frog and a toad pictured in the pond, I wandered off, thinking. And eventually knew how to start, and how
