Turn Your Living Room Into A Coffee Shop
I’m passionate about Nano “Write Ins” 🙂 A group of writers, in a coffee shop (pub, bar, open space) all sitting hunched over their laptops, trying to write as many words as possible during a 15 or 20 minute writing sprint. Trust me, it really does work (I’m going to one tonight!) and we have continued with these sprints, “virtually” on our Facebook group since last November.
But if you really want a bit more atmosphere and can’t get out to one of your local “write in’s”…
Friday Fiction
To keep my brain ticking over I’ve decided to do a prompt every Friday morning. I have to admit that I’ve blatantly stolen the idea from the Friday Fictioneers 🙂
Todays piece is inspired by this photo, which i took whilst taking tea (get me!) at Fortnum & Masons last month.
It inspired a character more than an actual story…
Turn Your Concerns Into Stories
One of the exercises on the Future Learn course this week is to make a list of our “concerns” as this will help us build up a self-portrait of who we are as writers. It will also help us to become clearer about what matters to us, as these subjects are bound to crop up in our writing.
Ok, well you know me, I’m game…heres my list…
- The safety of my family
- Sleep problems
- Fear of death
- Love and protection of animals
- Hatred of infidelity
- An interest in the supernatural
- What makes people tick
- Cooking/Baking
- The Victorian Period
- Memories
- Art
- Love
- Good over riding Evil
Wow, thats a big old list lol…but im sure i can just keep adding to it. So what does that list indicate about me as a writer do you think?
What would be on your list?
