Big Ben is actually the bell inside the clocktower at the Palace of Westminster, but everyone refers to the tower as Big Ben. It is instantly recognisable, worldwide–like the Eiffel Tower, or Sydney Opera House. It’s the writephoto prompt from
Approach to the tower | #writephoto Flash Fiction
Approach to the tower. It doesn’t seem long since we had another tower along an approach for #writephoto, but I’m sure KL Caley at New2writing.com knows what she’s doing! This one came to me over breakfast on Saturday. It’s nearly
Alley to the Past | #writephoto Flash Fiction
Alley to the Past came out of today’s #writephoto offering from KL Caley at New2Writing.com. I felt like I’d walked down this alley before. After a couple of days, I worked out where it was in my memory, and set
Horizon | #writephoto Flash Fiction
Horizon: the start of another year of writephoto flash fiction inspired by KL Caley at New2Writing.com. This one came to me as I was cuddling Pippin, prior to phoning my brother on Saturday morning. I think I was still under
Krismas Wreath | #writephoto Flash Fiction
Krismas is a time of celebration in Corsair, very similar to our Christmas. I was not going to use the wreath prompt from KL Caley at New2Writing.com this week. I started on one of my favourite Christmas pieces, an interview
Neighbours | #writephoto Flash Fiction
Neighbours as a phrase gave me less to go on than the photo of this lovely pair of doors. For a time I thought of returning to the red door of September, but re-reading that gave me another idea. Thank
Herd | #writephoto Flash Fiction
A herd of deer in the mist. It reminded me of a writephoto story from this time last year, in fact 6th December… The photo is the prompt from New2Writing.com, the story itself veers off slightly. I can see this
Visitor | #writephoto Flash Fiction
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 | #writephoto Flash Fiction
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
The Great Cake Heist | #writephoto Flash Fiction
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 | #writephoto Flash Fiction
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 | #writephoto Flash Fiction
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
Cemetery | #writephoto Flash Fiction
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 | #writephoto Flash Fiction
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 | #writephoto Flash Fiction
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
