Carry On Tuesday # 203

This week we have as our prompt the opening words of not just one story, but many!

Once upon a time

Carry On Tuesday # 202

Over the years many artists have borrowed pieces of classical music to use in pop songs. We have Chopin to thank for our inspiration today.

This we week we take as our prompt the title of a Barry Manilow hit

Could it be magic?

Use it however you wish as part of your story or poem then hand over your URL to Mister Linky. A comment would also be appreciated. Please don't forget to visit your colleagues sites.

To read about this piece of music, scan the lyrics and hear a rather dodgy live performance by our Bazza, go to Carry On Tuesday Plus

Carry On Tuesday # 200

Today Carry On Tuesday reaches another mile stone,our 200th prompt! Who remembers our first? Well, 35 people used our prompt on that occasion and it was the opening line of the novel A Walk After Dark by W H Auden, 'A cloudless night like this can set the spirit soaring'. Want to turn back the clock to 16 May 2009? Then click HERE!


Our words this week come from the last line of Margaret Mitchell's epic novel of love and war, Gone with the Wind

After all, tomorrow is another day.

Use them any way you wish as part of your short story or poem then hand your URL to Mister Linky. Please find time to visit your fellow contributor's sites.
