Another lovely #writephoto prompt from Sue Vincent. If you’d like to participate, you have until Wednesday next week to respond to the prompt. Here is my response: They say I had a glass casket. That I was surrounded by flowers, a wonder of the woods. But the truth is far simpler than that. After all,Continue reading “#writephoto – To The Seven”

Journey To Ambeth And Beyond…
Have you ever wondered why I decided to call my blog, `Journey To Ambeth’? Ambeth is the fantasy world I created as part of my Ambeth Chronicles – however, when I started blogging a little over three years ago, the books were just drafts and I hadn’t published anything. A friend was starting a blogContinue reading “Journey To Ambeth And Beyond…”
Telling Tales
It came to me a while ago that perhaps we, as humans, are built to be storytellers. That it’s in our DNA, some vital part of us that cannot be denied. From the dawn of humanity when people gathered around campfires or in sacred spaces, taking their turns to add their voice to a tale,Continue reading “Telling Tales”
Look For The Helpers
I’ve tried to write this post several times today. Oh, not because I had no words. I had lots of them. Words of sorrow and fury and fear. Words of love and hope and pride. But none of them seemed big enough or strong enough or wise enough to encompass the despair I felt onContinue reading “Look For The Helpers”
#writephoto – When The Water Falls
‘You been here long?’ ‘No, not really.’ ‘Me either,’ I say, dragging my finger through the water pooling on the sill. ‘Still, it’s weird, isn’t it?’ ‘What?’ ‘Well, like, I don’t think I’ve been here long. But on the other hand I can’t remember ever not being here… So I don’t know.’ ‘I remember singing.’Continue reading “#writephoto – When The Water Falls”
Ups and Downs and Strawberry Fool
Recently I entered a writing comp on Morgen Bailey’s blog – the premise is to write something that is exactly 100 words, based upon the prompt for the month. I entered the April comp, and the prompt was ‘Fool.’ Here is my entry: Strawberry Fool She sliced the strawberries, red juices staining her fingers andContinue reading “Ups and Downs and Strawberry Fool”
#writephoto – Waiting
It’s another #writephoto challenge from Sue Vincent, and this week our prompt is this evocative photo of sunset over the ocean. There seemed to be something melancholy about the image – perhaps it’s the combination of the obelisk and the setting sun. This is the poem that came to me: Waiting I wait upon theContinue reading “#writephoto – Waiting”
#writephoto – Shore – The Meeting
This week Sue’s #writephoto prompt is a lovely image of sea and sand. Here is my (short but hopefully sweet) response: The Meeting Curving, carving, A river through sand A ribbon of silver Meeting the sea Dancing, splashing A foaming blue line An endless cycle Meeting the land If you enjoyed this post andContinue reading “#writephoto – Shore – The Meeting”
#writephoto – Enigma – Your Fault
Sue Vincent’s #writephoto challenge runs every week, and is a prompt based on one of her wonderful photographs. Here’s my response to this week’s image: ‘This is all your fault.’ ‘Humph!’ ‘Don’t you ‘humph!’ at me. We wouldn’t be in this mess if you hadn’t insisted on staying till the last minute. As if youContinue reading “#writephoto – Enigma – Your Fault”
#Writespiration – 52 Words in 52 weeks – The Girl In The Black Hood
Sacha’s prompts are always good fun, and this week she’s challenged us to write about ‘The girl in the black hood.’ 52 words, no more, no less. For some reason this one came to me fairly quickly… She gritted her teeth, dug her heels in and pulled, the heavy load cutting into her cold fingers.Continue reading “#Writespiration – 52 Words in 52 weeks – The Girl In The Black Hood”
