Shelagh interviews Tim Brookes about his latest, First Time Author, and Tim interviews Shelagh about
her debut novel, Shape of the Sky. RETN captures the interview for television
and radio. Much fun had by all.
Today’s Write The Book Prompt is to write about
a person who meets a goal. Someone who achieves something she has always wanted
to achieve. It can be a
sales goal, a personal best, a long-avoided task. Is she pleased? Does it look like it was supposed to? Is he happy afterwards, or
does it immediately fail to meet his expectations? What does he do next? What
does she?
Good luck with this prompt and please listen next week for
another!

NH novelist Toby Ball, whose third novel is Invisible Streets, published by Overlook Press.
This week I'm offering two Write the Book Prompts on the website. The first is to write about a move. (The Radiator moved last week - did you know?)
The second is to write a poem or story using ten words that I've pulled at random from the pages of Toby Ball's Invisible Streets. They are: neighborhood, knock, tourist, gaze, exhausted, slump, artificial, masterstroke, grip,crack.
Good luck with this prompt and please listen next week for another.
