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 [#839]

After last night's opening ceremony of the London Olympic Games, my head is spinning with Brits I'd like to humbly thank/honor/kneel down to for the emotionally charged spectacle they laid before my watering eyes:  Danny Boyle, J K Rowling, Sir Paul McCartney, Alex Turner and the Arctic Monkeys [for that awesome cover of 'Come Together.'  I remember when Alex Turner was too young to drink in the clubs he played in--he finally looks like a grown up man.]

But for the sheer happiness his appearance brought me, I have to pick Sir Kenneth Branagh in a stovepipe hat......


....followed at a respectable distance by Daniel Craig transforming the Queen of England into a Bond girl.


As another viewer wrote on Tumblr, "Anyone know where I can download an app that turns me into a Brit?"
