What's it about?

This blog originally had a very specific purpose: it was a place to post prompts for creative writing during the time of the lockdown. Initially it was for the use of my writing group, as we could not for the time being meet in person - but it's available now to anyone who'd like to have a go at creative writing. I very strongly believe that writing is good for you: while you're writing, you're off somewhere else - you've escaped! So off you go - have fun!

Make it up...

 Choose one of these prompts, and off you go!

*Outside the window, you see something you really can't believe...

*Write about a piece of furniture that means something to you.

*You knock louder and louder on the door, but nobody answers...

*Choose a favourite painting, and write a story inspired by it.


From the Hitchcock film, 'Rear Window'.
