Hey, Baz – REALLY good to see you – and yes, it has been too long!

Bringing a gun into the house changes it; that’s the truth. It’s not as if it was much of a gun, just an old Spanish automatic called a Ruby. Piece of junk, but cheap on the street. I never knew my dad to be scared of anything but he was scared now. Really scared.

Before, when he hit my mother, we cowered in a corner of the kitchen, my sis…[Read more]

July’s competition – I’ve given you the first eight words; you only need add 200 more. @libby has set the standard, but I’ve no doubt there’s more than 200 variations to be had. Deadline 31st.

  Superb line prompt, Sandra. I hope to have a go.
Squidge replied to the topic Monthly comp – July 2019 in the forum Monthly Competition 7 years, 1 month ago

Nice. Might have a go as I’m in between edits…
Seagreen replied to the topic Monthly comp – July 2019 in the forum Monthly Competition 7 years, 1 month ago

Ooh! Interesting!
Sandra started the topic Monthly comp – July 2019 in the forum Monthly Competition 7 years, 1 month ago

‘Bringing a gun into a house
changes it.’

The opening words lines of a poem entitled ‘The Gun’, written in 2001 by Vicki Feaver, whose work I discovered last year.

I’d like you to enlarge upon this by adding no more than 200 words.

And because I’m not convinced that two months makes participation any more likely, I’m setting a deadline of…[Read more]

Thanks, Raine, and well done, Sandra 🙂

Works for me! And with the subtitle, too…
Squidge replied to the topic Bi-Monthly Comp – May/June 2019 in the forum Monthly Competition 7 years, 1 month ago

Agree with you Raine, 100%! Loved Sandra’s start (among others!!) Well done, Sandra x

Great idea for the competition, Raine.
Sandra – well deserved. Absolutely intriguing start.
John S Alty replied to the topic Bi-Monthly Comp – May/June 2019 in the forum Monthly Competition 7 years, 1 month ago

Thanks for a good competition idea, Raine, and well done Sandra.
Sandra replied to the topic Bi-Monthly Comp – May/June 2019 in the forum Monthly Competition 7 years, 1 month ago

Good heavens, Raine – what a compliment, especially in view of the strength of the rest; I certainly was torn between at least three to name as my favourite. Thank you, indeed. And you can most certainly read the rest, as soon as it’s done. (Currently ‘resting’ after finishing a first draft last week, and already knowing things need…[Read more]
