Tumbling small stones

-
I told you about the River of Stones writing challenge on the first day of 2012 and you'll have noticed that I've included a handful of them on this blog. Aside from one weekend, I've been writing a small stone each day and you can find all of them on my Tumblr blog, What I see, what I hear, what I am.

Have you been writing small stones this month?

    To be able to do anything (like, comment, follow) on Tumblr, you have to be signed in so you have to be signed up for an account. I suppose they want people to join the Tumblr community.

    Thanks for the comments, guys.

    I've had a blast writing small stones. Some good and some not so good.

    Rena - Some of mine have been better than others too but what I've found is that the daily writing, even such a small amount, has re-inspired me in my other writing.

Taking location inspiration from real life

This is the school I attended between the ages of seven and eight years old. This photograph, and more of the interior, was kindly taken by an old school friend. I always loved this building and now it has provided the inspiration for Darkacre School in my novel. Photograph taken by Dan Howard of 500px.com York Minster (from my home town) was the inspiration for the cathedral where Rex Haven's funeral takes place in my novel.

The details don't have to remain the same - we writers are tailors of imagination after all - but basing our story locations in reality can add a grounding element to our writing that convinces our readers. What real locations have you used in your wr

I've recently finished a new murder mystery play called Thoroughly Murdered Millie .

Her stepchildren will lose their home, William the butler has no choice but to emigrate and who knows what she has in mind for the gardener? Can anyone stop her? You can find this play over on the Murdering The Text website. Have a look .
