Picture Prompt - Wednesday May 13, 2009

We're going to try something a little different this time. I don't think it could hurt challenge participation. This should be fun and easy. I'm not sure what else I can do to encourage participation here, but I'm willing to try anything you have ideas about, or you could just ignore this completely, like usual.

Here's how it works. I'm going to provide a picture. From the picture, you're going to freewrite. Freewriting is one of the best and easiest exercises you can do. It requires about 10 minutes, and is perfect for those suffering from writer's block. It's quick, simple. Come on, you can do it. It's not an exercise in perfection, just put your fingers on the keyboard and let them tap tap tap.

Here's your prompt and your graphic:

Picture-Prompt
Original image.

Here's the code for the graphic that links back to the challenge. For a small tutorial on how to make this work, if you would like to use it, click here.


It should come out looking exactly like the picture above.

You can write a poem, a short story, a song, a journal-type entry, include pictures. It's entirely up to you. You may take this in whatever direction you would like. Let us see what you can do in about ten minutes.

You must:
  • Have your entry set to public.
  • Link to either this site or the blog ring.
  • Come back to this site to let me know that you have posted for this challenge. I will then link to your entry. Rec your entry. Leave you eProps. Not promising lengthy comments, from this name anyway.
  • Have your entry done by May 17th.
  • Have fun
Happy freewriting. Be sure to check out everyone's entries. I'm sure they appreciate your feedback.
