The "Brit a Day" series

What does a months-long parade of attractive British men have to do with fiction, you might well ask? These gentlemen have inspired some lovely scenes, part of the life I live in my head. Over time, some of these scenes reach out to one another and begin to form a story. For the present, each one of these pictures provides a writing prompt for me, a way to keep me writing with a sense of passion and narrative, even when the stories are not yet fully formed.

A Brit a Day [#34]

Jason Isaacs as Captain Hook. I have a long standing relationship with 'Peter Pan'. It was my favorite animated Disney movie as a child, complicated by the fact that I lived in a pre-VHS era; I was at the mercy of Disney's distribution schedule and could only see PP when it was in theatres. Karma reversed itself one summer when I thought I'd been hired to paint scenery for summer-stock at Penn State and arrived to find that I'd really been enslaved to the running crew. Then I got to see the musical version of the stage play everyday for about 5 weeks, twice on days with matinees. One of my backstage jobs was handing Captain Hook the bomb.
