The August prompt for Writers Magazine is, simply, to write a 'love story'. Any ideas? I figured this would be a nice first go at a competition, and with such a universal theme I could easily resubmit the entry to other, less prestigious, journals. So love stories ... I'll sift through the orphaned River Song prompts for any ideas because at the moment I'm coming up blank.
I don't know what it is with me and my over-ambitious shots at things. I am re-reading my novel ready to submit to PanMcMillan for rejection, I am going to submit this screenplay to BBC's writersroom for rejection, and I am going to throw some short stories at big names too. It's the same with horses. I was looking online and you can actually get a decent Warmblood for less than £3k, so long as it hasn't affiliated or won prize money, so why spend that amount of money on alt else? Though I do still fancy an ID X. I'm also going to get some lessons in the winter so that I can actually ride said animals (like I used to be able to, six months ago, before I thought Prince's stupidly short strides was normal).
Anyway -- love story ideas please! Nothing too complicated. The screenplay is a romance but it has become way more than that.
In the meantime, I'm going away for four days! Woot woot!
