Writing and reviews with an environmental, science fiction, and fantasy touch
Open, this week’s #writephoto flash fiction from New2Writing.com was done in a hurry. I had the idea quickly enough, but I was preparing to go on holiday. Checking I had everything, then realising I did not have either phone number
Door – a pretty picture for this week’s #writephoto prompt from KL Caley at New2writing.com. It gave me a very simple idea, but far too simple, really. I did another book stall at a craft fair on Saturday. It went
‘Den’ the keyword for #writephoto this week, is my first flash for a while. I took some time off through April (and maybe before) to get my brain sorted out a bit. Well, to supervise the guinea pigs during the
A fairy door in a tree – that ‘s the prompt today from KL Caley at New2Writing.com. I was intrigued by the oystercatcher painted on the door, and checked to make absolutely sure they did not nest in trees! In
Dress – and what a beautiful one. After a few weeks off, I found some inspiration for this one. Once upon a time, I wrote a flash fiction to the title “The Thirteen Snowflake.” It shouldn’t be on the blog
Crab is the prompt for this week’s #writephoto, thanks to KL Caley and New2writing.com. Your comments on the Roscoe and Neville stories made me realise a) I was writing out how much I miss these boys, and b) they are

Island is today’s prompt from KL Caley at New2Writing.com. I was still with Roscoe and Neville, so if you missed last week’s, you might like to nip back and read that one (500 words) before you tackle this week’s which
‘Walkers’ is this week’s writephoto prompt, provided as usual by KL Caley at New2Writing.com. This one reminded me strongly of somewhere I’ve been. And the more I looked at it, the more I knew someone in particular would be walking
Approach was the word to accompany this week’s #writephoto, posted as usual by KL Caley at New2Writing.com. The keep looming out of the little stand of trees caught my imagination, and it reminded me of late autumn days with the
Antique–a great #writephoto prompt from KL Caley at New2Writing.com, but one that puzzled me. I’ve done a good number of stories with antiques with weird, supernatural or cursed properties. What could I do that was different? This. And it’s just
The Retreat is a great theme, provided by KL Caley at New2Writing.com. This lovely photo reminds me of places I’ve been–for conferences and the like. It also inspired me to a story more like one of Rebecca Douglass’s than my
Snowy Peaks. Always hard to know where to go with these moorland scenes. Was it last year or the one before where I did the stranded motorist? Thanks as always go to KL Caley at New2Writing.com, and this time also
