In my recent post, A Season for Writing, I wrote about the fact that I’d started a new WIP set in California, and that I could almost feel the sunshine. And the more I think about it, the more it seems to me that this feeling of place, of inhabiting the world where my charactersContinue reading “Stepping Into A Writer’s World”

Around The World and Back Again
Getting back into this blogging thing is easier said than done, I’m finding. And it probably hasn’t helped that I’ve been away for the past three weeks on the other side of the world. Apologies for being late getting back to comments, too! So, where have I been? Back to my husband’s native Australia, toContinue reading “Around The World and Back Again”
A Season For Writing
I’ve recently, after months spent editing and tweaking my vampire novel, started a new WIP. I felt a bit rusty at first, a bit unsure. I knew I could write books, but actually doing so, letting the story pull me along, was something I hadn’t done for a while. So I started slowly, trying notContinue reading “A Season For Writing”
#Writephoto – All That Remains
He came to me after dark, as night lay like soft velvet in the hollows of the hills. The fire burned low, his feathered cape laid over the chair shimmering iridescent blue as the birds stirred and gave their first sleepy chirps, my breath coming fast as he touched me andContinue reading “#Writephoto – All That Remains”
#writephoto – Fallen
I do enjoy Sue Vincent’s #writephoto prompt. Her photos are always so evocative, and sometimes the strangest story fragments come to me. This one is probably a bit odd, but then there are legends of standing stones that ‘walk.’ So, maybe they like to lie down for a rest, as well… ‘I don’t know aboutContinue reading “#writephoto – Fallen”
#writephoto Arch – Through The Window
It’s Thursday, and time for another #writephoto prompt, courtesy of Sue Vincent. This week’s photo brought a character to mind, and here he is: He liked to watch the world change. Today it was snowy, the little tree purged of leaves by winter, the land beyond carpeted white. Some days he saw green grass andContinue reading “#writephoto Arch – Through The Window”
#writephoto – Dark
Sue Vincent’s #writephoto is a wonderful source of inspiration, and this week she’s shared this beautiful photo as her prompt. She also shared another post, Breaking the Rules, which featured an interpretation of a Pablo Neruda poem that really spoke to me. The words that came to me were inspired by both of them. AndContinue reading “#writephoto – Dark”
#writephoto Sanctuary
Sue Vincent’s #writephoto is one of my favourite blog writing prompts. The photos she chooses are always so inspiring, and she gets such a variety of responses to the same image. I don’t always get a story but, when I do, they come immediately. This one appeared when I saw her image for this week:Continue reading “#writephoto Sanctuary”
Finding My Way Back #amwriting
I have a new desk. For writers, this can be kind of a big deal. I’m quite pleased with it. It’s a bit smaller than my other desk, which makes my tiny study feel bigger. There’s still room for my bits and pieces; trinket boxes, a set of vintage tins I use for pens, someContinue reading “Finding My Way Back #amwriting”
