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”

Maiden Mother Crone, Part 6 – Rain to Bow
Along winding roads through green fields, the purpling hills beyond, we travelled back to where our journey began – Easter Aquhorthies. We returned to a circle transformed from the screaming wind and rain of the previous day – this time, the sun drew shadows from the stones, the distant peak of Mither Tap clear againstContinue reading “Maiden Mother Crone, Part 6 – Rain to Bow”
30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Eleven – Stars
It’s day eleven of the blogging challenge and today’s prompt is: stars. Which I completely forgot about while at the British Museum today – no doubt I could have found something wonderfully starry there to inspire me.

This week the topic is ‘Voice,’ and my entry is an excerpt from Silver and Black, the vampire novel I’ve been working on this month as my Camp NaNoWriMo project (only a few thousand words to go!) ——- AContinue reading “#blogbattle – A Run In The Dark”
A Quiet Week
After my good weekend, it seems to have been a quiet week. It’s half term so you would expect I’d be running here there and everywhere, but that hasn’t been the case. The gorgeous girl seems to be feeling the same way, quite happy to be at home working on projects or playing games, plusContinue reading “A Quiet Week”
A Piece of Sky
I found this flint some time ago. Split open, it lay upon the path where I walked. It looks as though a star is inside it, as though long ago one fell to earth and became caught in the stone. In Ambeth, the Elders of the Light watch the stars and see what they portend.Continue reading “A Piece of Sky”
