Happy New Year, one and all.

Writing Club across BBC in the East of England is off and running again, and this time your prompt is ‘vehicle’.

According to the dictionary, vehicle is a general term for anything by means of which people or goods may be conveyed, although always more commonly used as a specific term for forms of land transport which have wheels or runners.

So, the world’s your oyster with this one.

Cars, trucks, wagons, tractors, fire engines, ambulances, carriages, taxis, buses… and as a request from producer Keith, we’ll include trains as well, or any other vehicle you can think of.

Who’s in the vehicle? Are they a passenger or driver? Where are they going? Are they on their way back from somewhere?

Or maybe your character is waiting for someone or something to turn up in a vehicle, or just waiting for the vehicle for some reason.

Or maybe you’d like to write something about a futuristic vehicle or your dream vehicle.

And of course we sometimes say that one thing is a vehicle for another, e.g. fruit is a vehicle for spreading seeds, and Pythagoras supposed the air to be the vehicle of sound.

So write a story, poem or just a snippet of creative writing sparked off by the word ‘vehicle’, please and send them to louise.hulland@bbc.co.uk and we’ll hear them on the 20th January!
