Inklings // October 2025

Happy October everyone! I hope you've all been having a most lovely autumn.   

I'm so enjoying the colors here. And I've had lightbulbs going off for my next novel this week... it feels so amazing to have the ideas flowing again.

(Sidenote: on a slight downer, am also experiencing an oncoming cold at the moment so have to admit my general outlook on life has gotten rather fuzzy as of this afternoon, but I'm sure things will brighten presently. 😅 Ah, the ups and downs of a single day... ;D)

As always, feel free to join any time here until the next prompt goes up! 💜 

Rules:

1. At any time during the month, on your own blog post a scene from a book or film that matches the prompt, including a link back here in your post.

2. Make sure to come back and leave a link to your entry in the box on this post. That's it!

October's prompt is:

A scene with a fountain in book or film

We rewatched the 1993 Much Ado About Nothing this month with my mom and sister. (Full warning: it does have some nudity near the beginning and at least one other suggestive scene.) 

That important disclaimer out of the way, Much Ado is my favorite Shakespeare play and I'd forgotten how brilliant certain scenes are. In the '93 version, the fountain plays a grounding role in numerous scenes, but this particular one -- just after Benedick and Beatrice discover their love for each other is still alive and well -- is just riveting (especially combined with the cuts to Beatrice on the swing, which swing may have to have an honorable mention some future month xD). The music is just thrilling. Definitely well done and one of my all around favorite scenes! :)



You can watch the whole scene here


The Shakespeare... the Mediterranean sunshine... ah...! Seriously epic.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and look forward to further confabulation. Please just be courteous to one and all. Oh, and I love thoughts on old posts, so comment away!

(Also of late -- what with time being finite, and Life Happening + managing multiple blogs and computer issues and all that -- I sometimes have to alternate between creating new content and replying to comments, but rest assured I'm thrilled to hear from each and every one of you and always hope to reply thoughtfully in full ASAP.)
