Challenge/Exercise

[ostarella]

When I first started writing, way waaaaay back in school, our English teacher had a picture book filled with news photos. Most were from the post-WWII era in Europe, and all were of people in various situations. We had to choose photos to use as inspiration for stories. I've looked for a similar book many, many times since, without luck, but today found a site that suits the purpose. Soooo...

I thought I'd post a weekly "challenge" - write a story (drabble, short, long, whatever) around the picture I post; the only caveat is that one (or more) of the guys has to be someone in the picture (and time frame/genders of the picture can be ignored). Nothing that needs to take a lot of time, but more to do a little pondering on character back stories.

So - Photo Challenge #1

oh I might have something in mind too... Just got to think on it some more. I want to try and write another chapter to Hunted tonight. So I will try and answer this challenge at some point.

Cool. :-) I just thought it might be fun to have something to do when we're stuck on something else, kind of a breather, as it were. And who knows - might get some real live plot bunnies from them :D

Oh and I've thought about something for *Play* now - good old shower, always lets the bunny's in. I think it's because it's one of the times I get peace, and I can't really think about anything other than washing my hair so I can let my mind wander, undisturbed. Anyway, got something for Play ...now got to find the time to write it.

Off to bed in a min... work tomorrow :O(
