Yesterdays prompt ended up being part of the previous days story. Today’s prompt is “Darkness comes at 3 in the afternoon” after Robert Bly so I may need to investigate that a bit 😉

Q is for…..

Go Queenie!!!!! Awwwww, I love her 🙂 lol. Will the nephew get his way and shove her in an old people’s home? Orrrrrrrr…..will she run away? No, she wouldn’t leave the cats. Hmmmm, what if the cafe closed? So many choices lol

Yesterday’s prompt about the black ice turned into the start of a story about a woman having a car accident, not being able to control her car on an icy road. Today’s prompt is you’re on a 2 lane highway which I’ll probably use in the same story….very convenient 😉

P is for…..


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

So, poor old Patrick….being harassed by a teenage girl lol (shouldn’t laugh, it’s not funny really). What should he do? difficult one as he is attracted to the girl and she is nearly 18 (here in the UK you’re a full adult then). Perhaps she has ulterior motives? Is she being dared by her friends?

Yesterday’s prompt about moving into the new house ended up as a monologue about a woman who is having to leave the home she loves because of a ‘Compulsory Purchase Order’ 😦 Today’s prompt is write about black ice which will probably turn into another sad one 😉

O is for…..


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

Sorry you missed it 😦

So that’s Olivia 🙂 I’m not sure I really like her, she seems a bit, I dunno…. We have an expression here in the UK (or perhaps it’s just London) “up herself” lol. That’s kinda how I see her lol. Probably very blinkered and opinionated. So what can I do to spice it up? I actually feel like I want to wind her up and watch her fly *snigger* 😉

Today’s prompt about a meeting at a party ended up being a sweet little story about a guy and girl who both hate parties, meeting there and finding something to do that was far more entertaining (nooooo, nothing like that, I’m not into erotica lol). Today’s prompt is “Moving into the new house…” something I’ve had a lot of experience of 🙂

N is for…..


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!

M is for…..


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

Sorry you missed it 😦

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).

L is for…..


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

Sorry you missed it 😦

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

K is for…..


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

Sorry you missed it 😦

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 😦

J is for…..

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 🙂

I is for…..


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

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 😉
