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!

Picture post

 Look at these pictures. What do you think each of the subjects is thinking about? What might be happening in their life? Are they happy, worried, excited, sad?

Choose one and write a story - or a monologue, in which you get into their head and write as that person about what they're thinking, feeling etc.

The Bride - Eva Gonzales

Market Day - Camille Pissarro

By Toulouse Lautrec

Renoir - Woman with a Veil
