@lizfilleul @Jenni_Gregory4 Will look for that film, thanks Liz.

@Jenni_Gregory4 The thing about cliche is that altho it's tired it works! Give me a bit of "tall, dark and handsome" any time 😉

@Jenni_Gregory4 So many lovely stories about dads here.🥰 The one that came to mind for me was the great aunt who married 3 of my grandfather's 9 brothers. (WW1)

@ThompsonEirin @Author2017 @Jenni_Gregory4 Omg, we did have nibs and inkwells when I was 10. Not quite a quill but I'm still amazed to think about it

@Jenni_Gregory4 So many great classics have started this way.

@Jenni_Gregory4 Hi Jenni and everyone. We had a lovely family wedding this weekend. It's a bank hol and traditional time to get summer veg in the garden so - wedding 1, garden 1, writing 0.

@MarianJMyers I once got feedback telling me there was no one nice in my story 😄 so that was a good lesson. I'm now happy to write unlikeable characters but make sure there's a balance. Everyone enjoys a baddie but there has to be a sympathetic character to get behind too.

@MarianJMyers My stories are never clear when I get started and develop as I'm writing but what I often change is POV.

@MarianJMyers I wrote local travel pieces for a couple of years and enjoyed the different styles but now I just (try to) write for TPF. I still like to try different genres but stick to one at a time.

@MarianJMyers Hi all, I'm working on a couple of pieces which are all the wrong season but will come around. Meanwhile I've just finished a shawl for my granddaughter (expected Jan) and need to show off

@SJPfiction Thought provoking questions, Sara. It's really helpful to have these writing prompts and to see everyone's answers. See you next time.

@SJPfiction I'd like to be a daisy, any kind. But let me vent for a moment - I loathe and detest buttercups!! So invasive and hard to deal with. Thank you. I'm off to dig some up.

@MargretGeraghty @SJPfiction Aquilegia have just popped up in my garden, Margret. I guess I put them in last year and forgot. They're gorgeous!

@SJPfiction Another question to make me think. I love my green time but once again I'm afraid I'm quite poor about including the environment in my stories. Thanks for the prompt, Sara

@SJPfiction Great answers here. I think I'm quite poor at including these little details. Good lesson for me.

@doctor_dolittle @SJPfiction Oh good idea Vicky

@SJPfiction I'm turning over a few ideas and will definitely get round to making a start on writing very soon 😄. Most unusal setting I've used was NZ's famed Pink and White Terraces but TPF didn't bite.

@juliedg Thanks Julie, I just meant life's been busy, not difficult. I certainly can't complain after my lovely month's holiday 😉
