Inspiration point (IP)
We've had a few pieces recently on the theme of memory, looking back, and reflecting on times past. It's a rich source of material, and the variety of the writing, both fiction and fact, has been one of the joys. So this week's IP is 'looking back'. Fact, fiction, comedy, tragedy, and all points in between - I look forward to seeing the results!
