I do enjoy Sue Vincent’s #writephoto prompts, and the variety of responses she gets for each image. I usually know, when I look at her photos, whether I have something. This is what came to me for this week’s prompt: What do you see in the flames, little one?’ Her hair was burnished gold, littleContinue reading “#writephoto – In The Flames”

Writespiration – 52 Weeks In 52 Words – The ‘Ex’ Factor
It’s Thursday, and I usually do a door post today. However, I’m not feeling any of my door photos this week, so I’ve decided to take on a short writing prompt instead. Sacha Black has a great series running called 52 Words in 52 Weeks. Each week this year, she’ll be setting a writing prompt,Continue reading “Writespiration – 52 Weeks In 52 Words – The ‘Ex’ Factor”
Wednesday Wander – Sanur, Bali
The winter weather has been pretty cold and dismal of late, so I thought I’d wander to an island paradise, at least in spirit. This is Sanur, on the Indonesian island of Bali. Sanur is located on the opposite side of the island from busy Kuta and, as I remember it, is a much moreContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Sanur, Bali”

I figured that, even if I didn’t get anywhere, I’d still end up with a nice collection of short stories, asContinue reading “A Nice Surprise – Writing Magazine Story Competition Results”
Thursday Doors – United Reformed Church, Nuneaton
My Thursday Door this week comes from a small Midlands town called Nuneaton. It’s a town I’ve been to many times – it has an excellent market and, when I was a child, Saturdays usually included a visit there. When I was three, I was even briefly lost at the market – I remember standing betweenContinue reading “Thursday Doors – United Reformed Church, Nuneaton”
Wednesday Wander – Amsterdam and London
Today I’m wandering to a couple of different places, linked by a young girl who lived over half a century ago. This is Anne Frank’s house, in Amsterdam, Holland. I did go inside the house, climbing the steep stairs and entering through the secret door to see the rooms where Anne and her family livedContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Amsterdam and London”
