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!

These shoes are made for... writing about!

Either: simply brainstorm shoes that you remember, for one reason or another, and write about them:

Or try this - which comes from Writers Online.

'Give footwear a walk-on role in today's creative writing exercise!

The set-up is that a character picks a new pair of shoes, which in some way or another, precipitates something else happening.

Who is the character?

What are the shoes they choose? Why do they pick them? What do they look like? When does the character think they're going to wear them?

Do they fit? How do they make the character feel?

What happens as a result of them buying/wearing the shoes?

Write the story!
