Thank you
I think if I had brought just a thought from him it would have made more sense. 🌹 -

I had a real battle with that part and I know it needs working on.
- Not sure if Raymond would agree to anything behind the garage.
- Couldn’t expose Walter too much – he needs working on too.
- Trying to think how o make Raymond desperate enough to agree on the spur of the moment without him losing too much of himself.
Thanks for that. Loads to work on…[Read more]

Hi Christian,
My husband is the artist. This one was named ‘Demure’ – I just love it. -

I think sloths are intriguing and this was intriguing.
How interesting – I ask myself ‘What was hung?’
Loved it. -

Oblivious to the chatter at the tables, Raymond stared at the meal in front of him, pushed his food to and fro across the plastic plate. Mind in turmoil.It wasn’t that he wasn’t grateful that tonight he had a bed […]

At the café on the sidewalkMy eyes are shaded, there’s no need to talkMy senses fully alert to smell and what I hearI see avoiding eyes – is it out of fear?Or possibly sheer ignorance?Afraid I’d ask a questi […]

Hi Estelle,
I like the idea of the writer looking for inspiration in your poem. The end-rhymes work well. Who painted the picture?-
Hi Christian,
My husband is the artist. This one was named ‘Demure’ – I just love it.

Perhaps that’s what I should do to find inspiration for my stories – sit outside the pub and watch the world go by. (There must be something out there that would wake my sleeping muse. “What will it take for me to again find the urge?”)
She could have been anyone – a woman waiting for her lover, a spy… I like that you made her one of us.

I’ve also grown fond of Raymond. 🙂
Doc is near retirement but Syd and David are same age. They went to school together. They are early 40’s

Feisty Magali – I just adore her and I am very pleased with her meeting Ryan. There was something special between them from the word go.
Graham’s comment about needing a description of her has made me inquisitive now and I realize I don’t have a clear image of her yet. Does she toss her hair over her shoulder or does she just fluff it up after a…[Read more] -

This was a great scene.
I’ve been waiting for the link back to the accident in the beginning.
Descriptions in the mine are very good and clear this time. I’m not sure if it was because it wasn’t so detailed this time or because in previous scenes when they were detailed in depth I reread them. Either way it worked – I am now familiar with the…[Read more] -

I’m always torn between when it comes to Chavvas.
Sometimes I want to to punch him he’s such a heel and then this week I felt sad for him.
This back story was so well told seeing that there is not much dialogue.
Great – See you next week. -
Estelle Westley commented on the post, The Raging of Christopher Sly 20 by Elaine Dodge 3 days, 17 hours ago
I couldn’t wait for this week to see what had happened to the old man.
Surprise – surprise.
Lord Sly is a very wily old man but I think he has to be with a family like that.
I’m also pleased he has such loyal friends and servants to look after him.
I’m warming to him. 🙂
Excellent scene. -

That was a wonderful story, written with heart.
When my granddaughter arrived this morning, we read it together. She is so touched by it that she’s making plans to implement a week of kindness in her class. It seems the prize will be cupcakes for everyone.
Thanks for your story 🌹 -

I don’t really write fantasy but really enjoying it.
I am going to try and follow through with the Magic Stones in all the prompts this year.

I like the weaving of past and present, and the back story explaining how Raymond got himself into such a pickle.
I wondered if he’d perhaps have questioned what the job might be.
Good scene setting in the hostel, in the street, and in the restaurant. Lots of questions to be answered about Walter, and how Raymond became homeless in the first place
I had a real battle with that part and I know it needs working on.
Thanks for that. Loads to work on here. 😬😬
I really meant whether he would be wondering what the job might be in the build up to the sedan appearing. You’ve shown that he’s in desperate straits by being homeless. I think you’ve done it well.
Thank you
