Reposted for https://fivedotoh.com/2022/09/30/fandangos-flashback-friday-september-30th/ This is my take on three great word prompts. I remember days when my husband brought a newspaper. He would ignore pinned shocking headlines and go straight to the football page. More specifically if Chelsea were playing the day before. He rarely read the whole striation of paragraphs. Once he finished, IContinue reading “Word Prompts – Newspaper, Striate and Pin.”

Saturday Six Word Story Prompt (6WSP) #89 – Sep 4, 202 Empty forest – a silent tree falls.
Word Prompt – #Vista
Vista, a pleasing view of autumn. It is my favourite season because of all the colours it creates. The weather starts getting colder, but the leaves are more dazzling than before. For me they are beautiful, and nature uses its colour to litter the ground with glorious technicolour. Only to return in bud like formContinue reading “Word Prompt – #Vista”
Saturday Snippet – It Won’t Happen Again
Nearly thirty years of marriage (the good, the bad and the everything in-between) were thrown out like they were rubbish. Pushed back inside, Martha tried to forget she had ever seen them. They screamed from their hiding place – cheat, cheat, cheat. You stand there and accept this affair. Are you not going to fightContinue reading “Saturday Snippet – It Won’t Happen Again”

I struggled to garner enough strength to argue my side of the case, but to my surprise an elderly pirate pushed through the crowd. He looked like he was in his sixties; strange for a pirate.

Harry’s crew were in a schism. Some, loyal to Harry whatever the cost, kept on working through the eye of the storm. Several pirates stared up at Harry, and were making their way up to the helm. ‘She’s bad luck, we need to throw her overboard,’ they said together. ‘Captain Red Beard, we demand youContinue reading “Word of the Day Prompt – Schism”
Advice to a New Author
I have been told that agents and publishers don’t like accepting manuscripts from previously self published authors. I asked this of my editor, who told me that this isn’t true. It gave me hope to keep on trying. When I first self published my first book, ‘Sticks and Stones’, I was living in an idealContinue reading “Advice to a New Author”
Friday Fears – Snippet from It Won’t Happen Again
Chapter Twenty Martha January 5th, 2014 As the morning grew weary, Martha brought the last of the washing down from the bathroom basket. The weekend was fast approaching. It was better to complete her menial tasks during the week. That way, if Charles did decide to come over for dinner, the house wouldn’t need tooContinue reading “Friday Fears – Snippet from It Won’t Happen Again”
