Right, many of you know I use paint samples as one of my writing prompts in creative writing sessions; now you get to have a go.
The samples are all beige/brown in colour. Your challenge is to pick one of the following names given to the shades of brown and give me a max of 400 words, using the name as a title. Your choices are;

Damn don’t you just hate when reality gets in the way of a good turn of phrase! I do love the sound of that last line.
I wonder if you could play with the idea of someone repeatedly redialling so that the ringing sound becomes continuous even if each call begins and ends. Perhaps you could tweak the last line slightly to read something like…[Read more]

Mantra.
I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.
Such is the mantra, spoken quietly in hope during clandestine gatherings, or whispered in the darkest moments outside of them, when dreams of life lived to the full fall beyond my control and are squashed like bugs in the mud.

@jillybean – read your books pretty much in two days. Really enjoyed them. Love Gregory – big, brash, but loyal to a fault.
Couldn’t find them on Goodreads to leave a review though… Have you posted them there yet?
-
Thanks, Squidge. I’m so glad you enjoyed them π
They are both on Goodreads but are easier to find if you search for them as Revolt the king’s knight etc
(tried to leave you a link but dialogue box didn’t like it.)Really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review π

I’ll take another look…

On a restroom wall in Baltimore,
Above a broken sink,
Someone scratched this message,
βItβs later than you thinkβI took this simple line to heart,
I saw that it was true,
And built myself a sturdy boat,
Then sailed the ocean blue.Time goes…[Read more]

Well, Kate, you’ve got me stumped with this months competition. Still waiting for inspiration to strike.
-
Oh no! I was hoping to inspire, not stump. Maybe a nautical theme from you with the Captain reference?
-
A trawler Captain, he could be the captain of my sole!
-
Sounds fishy to me. π
-
There had to be a catch.
-
Good one. Iβve been trying to come up with some smart reply, but Iβve got nothing, so you win this round!

Still floundering, Kate?
