Small Stones 2013

-
Today I return to a writing challenge that I first discovered last year, the Mindful Writing Challenge from Writing Our Way Home.

Write a small stone every day of January - it's as simple as that. If you haven't come across the writing form of small stones yet, you can find an explanation here.

I'll be posting my January small stones on my Tumblr blog but here's my first one.

Happy New Year

 Children in bed.
Fireworks cease.
Champagne pops.
My love and I.

    That is very sweet, actually. It was me, my dogs, and Facebook while fireworks exploded around my house last night.

    Happy New Year!

    Hugs and chocolate,
    Shelly

Taking location inspiration from real life

Real life doesn't just have to provide inspiration for our characters. It can also feed into the locations we use in our writing. 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. Taken from www.rightmove.co.uk The terraces of the South Bank area of York, where I lived for a time, are the streets of the old town 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.
