Writer's Nudge
I love this picture. It's so evocative, meaning it is heavy with emotion. It has many sensory images. What's going on here? Write a response to the picture or let it illustrate a story. Here are some things to think about:
Where is this place? What clues in the picture make you think this?
Who is this girl? What is she doing here? Why is she alone? Or is she?
What is the girl seeing? Smelling? Hearing? Feeling? Thinking? What emotions is she feeling?
What happened just before this scene?
What will happen within the hour?
What time of day is it?
How do the colors in the picture make you feel?
Does this picture remind you of anything you have experienced?
You don't have to answer all of these questions. You don't have to answer any of them, either. Write what you want to. The important thing is that it relate to the picture.
HINT: Have you ever tried listening to music while you write? I do that a lot. I choose music that goes along with the story I'm writing or the emotions I'm feeling as I write. Music can enrich your writing.
Click "Comment" and write your story. It may not show up right away, since I have this page set up so I can moderate comments.
Write on!
