Inspiration
“And what is the basis for your work?” Indeed, good question. I briefly thought of some answers. The location, where we are, when, the people we meet, the places, public and hidden, but also what we read, what we hear, the sounds, the shapes, the scents. “O, you are eclectic in your sources then! “…

Inspiration, Free Fantasy 100
The creation process often begins with diverse sources of inspiration such as locations, encounters, literature, and sensory experiences. For novelists, a blend of events, dreams, memories, and imagination is essential. External factors like weather can also influence creativity. Ultimately, personal skills and experiences shape the final product, leaving creators reflecting on the origins of their…

A gift
How did we get here? Did a demon cast a dice, or did the rude creature catapult us just for fun? Or was it a gift to its master, wrapped in a red ribbon? Inspired by Fandango One Word Challenge, and Three Things Challenge #M577

Expectation
Image by yanalya on Freepik “Too much is tempting the devil”, she said mischievously, “not enough would upset me…” I looked at the cherished face, her smile, the sensual lips, and rather than reply some tired cliché, I went up to her and kissed her. The day was still young, there would be time to…

Breed
It’s one of our favourite walks, along the Downs, over a beautiful valley. The long loop takes us over two hours, and we get some nice gifts: a lovely old pub, and, yes, Alpagas and other breed of wonderful woolly creatures, who belong to a nearby school. Happy children!

My old school
We met in the woods, she, a diaphane apparition reflecting the sunlight, I, struggling in the mud. We spoke, she was curious, wanted to know what I was doing there, so early, what pictures I was taking, how it was that I could see her, as most humans could not. No, I did not have…

Reject
Picture: istockphoto.com I have thought about this a lot, I have considered the reasons for, and the reasons against. Of course there is no shortage of arguments about all this, the history of it, the lies, the half truths, the suspicions… At the end of the day each one of us has to make up…

I can’t read it…
Picture source I can’t read it, I don’t know in what format it is, obviously an old on, perhaps before standardisation? I have no idea. They say it was left in a bottle, Crusoe’s style, and it must have travelled a lot, there was a date we could decipher, on the label: 2034, ten years…

The clock is ticking…
Picture: Karen Nadine’s Clocks tell a story “Consider,” she said, “You have me, and then you have your writing, your camera, your books, your music, your friends, including not a few lady friends, and of course the sacro-saint gym! Now it’s about time we looked at how much time you spend on each!” I smiled,…

Wisecrack
Yes, I have to admit, I had to look it up, to check… So now, here’s the one-liner: “The girls are opening a new site soon, just for them, no joke!!” Inspired by Fandango’s One Word Challenge of 22nd December
