Oh crikey, thank you so much jonathon! I wasn’t expecting that at all! There was so much to love in all the others. I actually, despite your concerns, absolutely loved your list of prompts!
I’m (still) on a train so will mull on a theme and kick off December tmrw. Thank you again. 🙂

December SloMo 7 years, 8 months agoWell hello Denizens. Here’s December already and time to go easy on ourselves in amongst the seasonal madness. Come on in. Tell us what you might try to do today, or what you really don’t want to do, but have to. Get a cheer for dragging yourself out for a walk, or request a kick up the proverbial to hit that (low) word count. The kettle is always…[Read more]

Ooh, look at this! The chair by the window has my name on it.

This is brilliant @raine 😊 I mosied into the Den wondering if I should set up a SloMo thread but your brilliant self had already taken care of it. After a frenetic NaNo I’m going to scale my daily word count target back a bit and take more time for actual fun. I now have to schedule fun or I forget! So I’d like to finish my NaNo novel and write a…[Read more]

I have an editorial read-through booked for the end of January so my Slo-Mo aim is to rewrite a couple of chapters to increase the stakes and generally tighten up.

Stairway
In the church in my village was a staircase that went nowhere. It was not such a very rare thing. Lots of mediaeval churches in my part of the world have a little alcove near the pulpit that used to lead to the rood gallery – an actual gallery, often beautifully decorated, high above the congregation from where the priest would deliver t…[Read more]

Well, that’s me done. I really thought I wouldn’t make it this time.

That’s great, Raine. I, too, remember that amazing Now and Then story, particularly the sense of setting and history. Good for you.

Raine replied to the topic Two newses in the forum Podium 7 years, 8 months ago
Thank-you everyone. 🙂 🙂
@Daedalus, it’s due out in Feb, apparently. Quite a quick turn around! -
Daedalus replied to the topic Two newses in the forum Podium 7 years, 8 months ago
Superb Raine, I love that story. Any idea when the antho will be out?
And that’s a real endorsement about the flash piece. I’m sure they wouldn’t have nominated it if they didn’t think it had a shot at winning.
