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!

People-watching


 

Be a spy! Observe someone - preferably in real life, but if not, on TV or from a photograph.

* Describe them.

* What are they doing/thinking about/hoping for/planning.

* Speculate on what they're like, what their life is like.

This can be either a straight piece of observation, or you can turn it into a story if you like.
