Nick, who has been removed because I want to use him for my Nano 2012 novel.

Sorry you missed it 😦

Hmmmmm, Nick, a nice bloke, but husband material? No way lol. How do you see him ending up? A very lonely middle aged man? Landing the perfect job, working for a travel show? Going to the US and breaking his ex’s heart?

I’ve caught up with my prompts 🙂 The passing sorrow ended up being about a woman who’s husband had died (don’t know how yet) and she decides to go to stay with her aunt for a while. Not sure what’s going to happen there lol. The history of whispers turned into the start of a story about a girl who finds out her parents found her as a baby abandoned in a bus shelter, and yesterday’s prompt which was about being on the edge prompted the start of a story about an old lady who robs a bank *snigger* 🙂 Tomorrow’s prompt is it’s who you met at a party. that sounds like it could be fun!

Megan, who has been removed because I want to use her for my Nano 2012 novel.

Sorry you missed it 😦

A-Z Challenge

Oh dear, poor Megan really needs some help. Should her aunt step in? Or her mum come back? Perhaps her father should finally get a grip and actually actively help her, or am I being too preachy? You can’t save someone unless they want to be saved…..

I’m sorry if the last couple of characters have been a bit depressing, unfortunately that’s real life 😦 But I promise they’ll be a happier one tomorrow 🙂

I didn’t manage to get the sorrow prompt done yesterday. I’ve been in a funny mood, just wanted to chill, so I’ll catch up today when I do write about “a history of whispers” (after Paul Simon).

Liam, who has been removed because I want to use him for my Nano 2012 novel.

Sorry you missed it 😦

A-Z Challenge

I think Liam’s story is so sad, and probably true of so many of the homeless in London.So where do we go from here? Do I give him a happy ending? I’d like to think that his girlfriend and parents are looking for him. He wasn’t speeding, it was a horrible accident and in his absence he has been exonerated of all charges. A witness came forward to say there was nothing he could have done. But even knowing that, would the guilt still be too much to live with?

I had a writing session this morning with Elizabeth Haynes which resulted in the completion of a 2600 word short story and I got the last 2 prompts done that I’d got behind with. Todays prompt is write about a passing sorrow so that’s more doom and gloom lol

Kimberley, who has been removed because I want to use her for my Nano 2012 novel.

Sorry you missed it 😦

A-Z Challenge

Awwwww, I just want to give Kimberly a huge hug 🙂 any ideas on where Kimberley could be going in life? Perhaps she wins the Turner Prize? Or ends up having panic attacks? And will the boyfriend ever get a blooming job!!!!!

I didn’t manage yesterday’s prompt and I apologise if there are any spelling mistakes in this post, the last 24 hours have been manic! Lol Today’s prompt is “After the final no…..” after Wallace Stevens who I’d never heard of til today 😦

Jackson, who has been removed because I want to use him for my Nano 2012 novel.

Sorry you missed it 😦

A-Z Challenge

So that’s Jackson 🙂 what can his partner do to make him believe he’s loved and wanted?

Today’s prompt about someone losing their memory ended up as the start of a story about a woman who was pulled from the ocean and she can only remember her 5th birthday. Tomorrows prompt is write about a place on a map but gawd knows when I’ll get it done, I’m going out for the day 🙂

Ivy, who has been removed because I want to use her for my Nano 2012 novel.

Sorry you missed it 😦

A-Z Challenge

Boy, I do feel sorry for poor Ivy, and I can definitely relate to how she feels. do you think if she gets a job it will boost her confidence and make her feel stronger?

Yesterdays prompt about arriving on a Saturday was very inspiring. I ended up writing 6 pages of a story set in the offices of a film agent. One of his clients is found dead in the lift! Lol. Today’s prompt is she lost all memory. I hope I’m as inspired today 😉

Before I tell you all about Harry, let me point you in the direction of a great resource 🙂 Some of my more observant regular readers will have noticed a new little box/picture/link thing on the right. You haven’t? Why, go look then!!!! The Bookshelf Muse is a great place for character junkies like myself…I shall be using their site, a lot….and I’m highly recommending it 🙂

Ok, so back to…..

Harry, who has been removed because I want to use him for my Nano 2012 novel.

Sorry you missed it 😦

A-Z Challenge

Awwww, poor Harry, seems like a nice bloke…..so what can he do to get himself a girlfriend?

Today’s prompt about small regrets turned into a full 500 word story about a woman and her grandmothers rug 😉 Today’s prompt is arriving on Saturday which could be interesting 🙂

Gloria, who has been removed because I want to use her for my Nano 2012 novel.

Sorry you missed it 😦

A-Z Challenge

Ok, I really like Gloria….I’d love to be her mate 🙂 She sounds like she’s content, but is there something missing?

Yesterday’s prompt about it was a late night inspired a scene where a husband is trying to crawl into bed at 3am without waking his wife. He intends to lie about what time he got in….what he doesn’t know is that his wife is wide awake…..so where has he been? 😉 Today’s prompt is a candlelight vigil which makes me feel a bit sad, instantly….not really looking forward to that one lol

Frederick, who has been removed because I want to use him for my Nano 2012 novel.

Sorry you missed it 😦

A-Z Challenge

Awwwww, that’s soooo sad 😦 I feel so sorry for old people who lose their partner 😦 So how can we cheer poor old Fred up? What does he need in his life? And, can you still even buy Bril Creme? Lol

Yesterday’s prompt about being sorry for something turned into a short monologue. I’ve been experimenting with monologues recently, so I’ll go into more detail next month, after the A-Z Challenge is done. I was pleased with it though. I had it in my head that it was written from a woman’s POV to her dead husband, who had committed suicide….happy little soul that I am lol. Today’s prompt is it was a late night and I know far too much about those 😉

Ella, who has been removed because I want to use her for my Nano 2012 novel.

Sorry you missed it 😦

A-Z Challenge

Awwwww, I actually feel quite sorry for her….its like shes on a hamsters wheel 😦 I think she loves her kids to bits, but secretly dreams of some thing more. Does she crave excitement? Has the fun completely gone out of her life? And what about that husband? Will he run off with the next door neighbour? 😉

Yesterday’s prompt about the summer fling turned into a story about a guy having a holiday romance. The trouble is, he’s fallen in love with her…..hmmmmm, where’s that gunna end up? Lol. Today’s prompt is something to be sorry for. Oh dear, that could end up quite depressing lol
