Squidge started the topic The joy of prompts in the forum Blogs 7 years, 10 months ago
Had a great night at NIBS this week, our little creative writing group in Nanpantan. As I am Chief Prompt Finder, it got me thinking about what I prefer to use and why – and what kind of prompts work best in group settings.
So I’ve mused a bit on the Scribbles; you can see what prompts we used this week, and I’ve also posted a piece I wrote using…[Read more]

@janette Love the competition entry! Whimsical and fun. I am now imagining dancing pens 🙂

Dancing With Words
Humble, that’s how my kind are deemed: the humble pen.
I don’t know why, since, led by the right hand, we’re capable of causing wars. Stopping them. Uniting distant hearts or breaking them apart. Telling tales that stir a million souls across a thousand years without pictures, smell or sound.
I aspire to that. Which is why,…[Read more] -

I’ve blogged about FoW but it’s pix only, I’m afraid, and they’re in an odd order but I don’t have time to faff. What an awesome weekend for Denizens it was. We raised several glasses (each) to absent friends.

So great to read this! CONGRATULATIONS! You definitely still need an agent regardless of interest from publishers – they do all the tricky stuff like negotiating contracts and mine has been so brilliant anytime I’ve asked her about the bits of publishing I’m not so sure about.

Mulling monthly comp ideas and realising that I’m better at dismal endings than I am hopeful beginnings…
-
Every ending is a new beginning! *grins like she’s in an inspirational photo*
-
I have an idea but I think even as a new beginning it might be a bit depressing!
-
-
Now I know that’s not true, Raine!
-
You can have a new beginning that will inevitably lead to a dismal ending. Just take out the ending.
i.e. “She fell in love with him the moment she saw him singing along during Mamma Mia 2.”-
I too seem unable to think of anything except gloomy endings
-
Mad, that’s exquisite!
-
@janeshuff, suggestion for next month’s challenge perhaps! 🙂
-
I’ve taken a morning off to write something – the first one unsettled me so much, I was determined to make it uplifting, regardless of crap-factor.

Haha Odo the lurcher will always have a special place in my heart but I was talking of bishop Odo – who behaved exactly as a bishop was not supposed to both in going to war bearing arms and in other matters 🙂

Blushing furiously, Philippa, because I’ve only just found this and we missed each other at York too. Good luck with the book – you’re obviously onto something x

Thanks, Richard. I’m so glad you enjoyed the books. (Hopefully there will be future collaborations at some point 😉 ) I love Gallet, and I’m oddly partial to Odo too 🙂
