Story Starter: Low Tide


Broughty Ferry beach.

Yay, you found me! As you can see our website’s been given a spiffy makeover, and to celebrate I thought I’d rename my nearly-new SnapShot series and call it Story Starter instead which leaves no room for doubt about what its purpose is when a visitor spots it on the home page.

Now, at the moment some of my past posts are missing – the pink bicycle, the little herb names plaques, and the cute heart-shaped car exhaust – but hey-ho, I’ll carry on with a new image and hope that the others reappear in due course. Don’t you just love technology….?

So, today’s image.

I’m going for something scenic today instead of the specific objects featured so far. I’m spoiled in living and working where I do, because I’m surrounded by wonderful scenery no matter which window I gaze from. But not everyone is so lucky and not all writers have a view like this that they can lose themselves in. So here, feel free to share my beach.

Shirley Blair

Fiction Ed Shirley’s been with the “Friend” since 2007 and calls it her dream job because she gets to read fiction all day every day. Hobbies? Well, that would be reading! She also enjoys writing fiction when she has time, long walks, travel, and watching Scandi thrillers on TV.
