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 [#94]

Christian Bale in 'Laurel Canyon.' That movie is a spot-on depiction of the degree to which family can complicate your life. Every time Christian's character emerges from that pool, it's like he's hoping he has been reborn to some other parent.
