Writing and reviews with an environmental, science fiction, and fantasy touch
Snicket was the #writephoto prompt at the end of August 2023. Thanks to KL Caley at New2Writing for the prompt. I thought it was time for Lars and Pete to show their faces again. The trouble is, this post-dates Zanzibar’s
Steam was the writephoto prompt for last October. One of my visitors at the Lymington Craft Fair last weekend gave me the germ of an idea for this one, but most of the thanks go to K L Caley at
Green was the keyword KL Caley attached to this colonnade of growing plants last year at new2writing.com. It more or less fitted an idea I had, responding to our dismal summer this year, and incorporating my theory for it. I’ve
Incline, or perhaps sheep, is today’s prompt. I’m working my way though the #writephoto prompts from KL Caley at New2Writing.com from last year, when I wasn’t doing much with my hands. I’m still not doing much, but perhaps a little
Flags was a writephoto prompt from April last year. I’ve been catching up now that K L Caly is on a break. I had an idea as a result of the photo, but somehow when I sat down to write
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 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
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
Desk was provided as a prompt last March (2023), so I thought I’d slip it in here. It’s from the writephoto meme by KL Caley at New2Writing.com, but unfortunately KL is on hiatus. I have recently discovered that my neck
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
Grotto – a great #writephoto prompt from KL Caley at New2Writing.com. It took me less than five minutes to get the spark for the first line of this one, and I enjoyed writing it. I hope nobody is offended, though.
Treehouse, the prompt from KL Caley for #writephoto, brought me inspiration today, I’m very pleased to say. And my hands felt well enough to type, even after a busy craft fair at Salisbury on Saturday. The steroid injection in my
Stairs is this week’s prompt from KL Caley at New2Writing.com, and I actually got some inspiration. I trimmed it to around 1300 words, so I hope you don’t mind me making up a little for my #writephoto absence. Stairs The
A mountain of #writephoto prompts have gone through and I’m going to pick and choose for a while, just to get back in the swing of posting again. And stick to nice short haikus, then maybe some short fiction later.
A geometric hexagonal building in Florence. That was my interpretation of this week’s writephoto prompt from KL Caley at New2Writing.com. And that reminded me of Venice, where a couple went searching for something on steps. This is another woman I’d
