The mill is today’s writephoto prompt from K L Caley. Actually it was 14 December 23, but I didn’t use it then. It’s just under 1000 words, and iI hope you enjoy it, especially as it’s probably the last new
The Mill #writephoto Flash Fiction
#Flashback fiction | Paradisio
Paradisio was born on 14th June 2013. And it’s got a lot to answer for. It was a Chuck Wendig mashup prompt, of movies in noir and sci-fi, and I stole a lot from my favourite movie. I’m still stealing
#Flashback Fiction | The Wardrobe (part 2)

#Flashback fiction | The Wardrobe (part 1)
Flashback fiction, The Wardrobe, in a two-for-one offer this month, as October has five weeks, ending with Halloween. I wanted to do my Rocky Horror mashup, but discovered it’s already appeared twice, even if, included as it is the Critters
A New Forest flash | not a #writephoto
This is an unseasonal piece of New Forest flash non-fiction, just under 900 words. I decided I ought to write more about the Forest, which is an ancient hunting ground set aside by William the Conqueror, although I’d always thought
The Scream | Flashback Fiction #WEPFF
This month’s flashback, The Scream was a work continuing WEP’s art theme for 2021’s flash fiction prompts. Regrettably the WEP hung up its pen this year, I think the admin had become burdensome. This is one of the characters I
Gorg in Pursuit of Bale (part 2) | #flashback fiction
Gorg is a troll, and not my invention. Even the quest he is on is not my invention. But as Chuck Wendig gave us the task of completing a story someone else had written the previous week, I chose Rebecca
Hijack! Flashback Fiction
Hijack! was written in 2014, a 1000 word idea of events that would happen sometime in the Princelings future. The sub-plots were there, but didn’t come out quite how this one develops. The pirates at Castle Roc became supportive of
The Gallery | Flashback Fiction
The Gallery is a bit of balderdash that set Pete, the Swede, and their women off on a wild goose chase across the universe which eventually became The Perihelix. And I wrote it ten years ago! The fact that it’s
Ribbit! | #writephoto Flashback Fiction
Ribbit! was a fantastic prompt from KL Caley at New2Writing.com for a #writephoto in 2022. We’re well past frog mating season in the UK although the weather’s so changeable I expect some places still have frogspawn. But I have blackbirds
Crossing | #writephoto Flash Fiction
Crossing was provided as a prompt last April (2023). I wasn’t inspired by the chicken so much as the word prompt… which reminded me of the short story X Marks the Spot, that in turn gave me book 8 of
Flashback Fiction #writephoto | Lambent
Lambent is the title Sue Vincent gave her #writephoto prompt this week in 2020. It refers to the quality of light in the stunning photo she’s chosen. I’m doing some Flashback fiction at present, and this one brought back many
Flashback Fiction #writephoto | Still waters
Still was this week’s #writephoto prompt from Sue Vincent in 2020. It was my first writephoto; I planned to do one a month, and ended up doing them weekly till my hands went just over a year ago (is it

Plants is the prompt for Sunday. Where should I start? Just Jot It January is by Linda Hill (with help from her friends). You can jot something down for the prompt anywhere, any time, just post it on your blog
Tenacious | #JusJoJan24 the 19th
Tenacious is the prompt for Friday. As I write this I have no idea what I’m going to do. But Just Jot It January is supposed to be pretty much as it comes to you, so here goes. Just Jot
