Good question and I’m not really sure about the answer. Time just seems to have flown by in the last couple of weeks and I haven’t had time to spend writing! However, all is not lost.
I came across a feature on the Scottish Book Trust site called Days Like This where they invite you to write a short story about a memorable day in your life. Unfortunately the exiting part of the project has long gone, where you could have got a story published in an anthology or even read out on BBC Radio Scotland. However, they are still posting new stories on the site, and I had a bit of late night creativity and wrote my 1000 words.
So here it is – a story about the day the QE2 came down the river Clyde for the first time. As usual, I struggled to keep to the word count, but I edited as best I could and it was written in one sitting.
Going to see if I can come up with something for Fiction Friday tonight, so you might get another post later – but only if you’re lucky!
A lovely story Al, I could feel your excitement and eagerness to see the QE2. Well done!
