For today’s exercise I’ve chosen another photo prompt. This one is called ‘The Journey’ and shows the view out of a car window. In addition there is the question what’s ahead and how does it relate to the morning news.
30 Days of Creative Writing: Day 28
Good afternoon, after spending the morning reading, I’ve decided to do some writing. Today’s exercise concerns dialogue in fiction.

I’m going to London on Friday!
To go to the Donmar Warehouse theatre. I’m going to be meeting up with some of the Gatiss Guild I met last year.
Here’s a photo of some of them. They really aren’t as cracked as they look.
I’m extremely excited. I will of course review the play we’re seeing and anywhere we visit if I think people will be interested.
I’ve found this marvelous website
That emails science fiction and fantasy stories daily. My last post shared an example of the fiction they publish. I’m quite looking forward to my daily email.

30 days of Creative Writing: Day 24
I’m back! After feeling particularly awful for a couple of days and pretty much incapable of writing anything creative, I’m feeling almost human again.
Another post about my illness. You can stop reading now.
I’m considering spending the day in bed, hoping the anxiety that’s currently choking me goes away and I stop wanting to cry. There’s no reason for either, it’s just how I feel today. I have things to do; I should be working on my short story, or reading one of the three books I need to review, or writing ky next ’30 days…’ post, or going to college to finish the assessment I started yesterday, or apply for that lab job in Leeds I’ve seen advertised, or eat something sensible, or take my dogs for a long run, or…you get the picture.
It’s really frustrating that I have things I need to get done. But I just don’t want to leave my room. My room is safe, everything else is scary. There are people outside; I’ll have to speak to them or otherwise interact.
