Episode 07: A Gill-Girl Called Fanny
Guests Mark Stay and Ian W Sainsbury join hosts Letty Butler and Stephen Mellor in a ‘controversial’ podcast with a difference, for writers and readers alike. In this episode Mark, Ian, and Letty respond live, against the clock, to a series of writing prompts, as well as discussing writing what you know, imposter syndrome, books in the loo and how giving up is the 100% certain way of failing — oh, and Stephen gets scared by his own dyslexia.
The prompts were 200 words on the pre-prepared prompt of ‘the tear in her dress.’ The three minute prompt was ‘the smell of your grandmothers laundry room,’ and the one minute prompt was ‘rose.’ The prompts were taken from the Writers Toolkit by Jamie Cat Callan.

And below is the trailer for the upcoming film ‘Unwelcome’ which Mark co-wrote and is out later this year.
Why not have a go at the prompts yourself (but don’t forget to time yourself, and no cheating please) and send us your own responses to prompetyprompt@gmail.com or via Twitter and Instagram. You never know, you might feature in a future show.
A Cornucopia Radio Production. Recorded and Produced by Peter Beeston. Co-created by Letty Butler and Stephen Mellor. Based on an original idea by Stephen Mellor.
