What was that, an elf, a dwarf, a gnome? A half-guessed figure half-seen through a tunnel of rock. An endless stairway that could be descending from Rivendell, Lothlórien or perhaps escaping from the lands of Mordor to green Ithilien beyond. Where will this creature lead me? Where will I go today? I hurry, for he is fleet.
Or is it “she”?
I take up my pen and paper, poised to venture out into a new world of imagination, smile, and start the flow of words to take me to those stairs, to see that figure to know the adventure beyond.

A little different today – a story about creating a story :)

Thanks. Sue’s pictures always tell great stories, and this one more than most, but for some reason I just wanted to talk about telling that story :)

That little image that sparks off the start of a story. The first step on a long journey. Nice one Trent.

With just that little image in mind as a starting point it is hard to know where you’ll end up. It’s a great adventure. Thanks.

It does feel rather like standing on a threshold, doesn’t it?

Sometimes it does. I usually don’t know where the ride will take me until I write “The End”.
