Beat you, Lizy? I never look at it that way. It purely depends on how quickly I think of a story. (But I think your comment was tongue in cheek - hope so anyway!) :-?
All about my short story The Blacksmith's Arms, in Ages of Escafeld Volume 2. And info on a very important "Evening at Escafeld" where you can meet both Jacey Bedford and Justina Robson. http://www.millymollymo.com/the-blacksmiths-arms/
It was another re-jigged OWC story, Lizy. The photo prompt made me think about Van Gogh's Old Boots painting and then I remembered the story I'd written about an art exhibition.
Well done, Lizy. I didn't even look at this week's prompt because I have been having a stressful few days and couldn't bear to even think about it! I shall wait until next week now - assuming things have calmed down in Claudia-land.
Thanks, Lizy. Yes, things are improving now. I won't bore you with the details. I just read my last post and cringed when I saw I'd mis-spelt 'bear'. I've corrected it: as if it matters now. 8-|
Here's another story that came easily to me as soon as I saw the photo prompt. (I've come to the conclusion that I find it easier to write a story from a photo prompt than from a word prompt!)
I wrote two drafts this morning for the Friday Fictioneers photo prompt, but decided they were too depressing. My overall theme niggled at me and I found time to try a third variation. Here's the result:
ALCS are investigating and a few people are stating on the blog that they disagree with this. If enough people do the same, I think it's possible that it will make a difference.
Just remembered I haven't told you about my latest blog post. This week's 100 word story prompt is a photograph I took last year, and the variety of stories other people have written too are worth a read. Start on mine and go from there. http://lizy-writes.blogspot.co.uk/
