With A Little Help From My Friends Reprise

Ask and you shall receive. In twenty-four hours I got the twelve challenges required (12 based on the number of contestants originally invited to be part of Fourth Fiction, and from memory, the same number of outside participants as well)

Here is the low down on what you can expect in the next installment:

  1. Constantine (4):  the heart of a city
  2. JD (34): paranoia and raw nerves in close quarters
  3. Anna and Em (44): walking the boundaries of a room, breath cleansing, garlic
  4. Paul Servini (64): a devastatingly handsome man
  5. Diane (74):  invocation of fire spirits
  6. Jen (94): a journey through a maze
  7. Tina (104): facing a difficult truth
  8. Fiona (124): a tattoo
  9. Dale (144): a blank page
  10. Ben (184): letting intuition flow
  11. Rob Salvatore & Mum (244): a lie
  12. Paul (254) : Ragweed – gives desperate confidence in desperate situations

Now to wind it all together.

Amazingly many of these elements exist already. We know Marcus is devastatingly handsome. We know in the birth room a number of women have come together under strained circumstances. We know when left alone, birth is an instinctive and intuitive process. We know Sylvie has been left in a rather desperate situation. What of it all. I promise you’ll know all in a few days time… now to work out how to get 48 hours into 24. My maths always did suck.

#73 Photo Challenge

Ok – for something different. Because there were so many things I wanted to take a photo of today, here is a combined effort.  All of these things have links to writing and moi – yes even the bread!

Your challenge is to tell me how they are linked? Two are really obvious and the other two are more difficult. Good luck.

#72 Cherries

They say that a four leaf clover is lucky – what about three cherries together? I had old friends over from lunch today and Lily found this wonderful cluster of cherries in the bag. Photo is a bit fuzzy because asking a five year old to hold still, is like – well asking the sun not to rise in the morning.
