Inspiration Challenge for the Week of June 9 – Caption This Photo
Writer,
Get your best Carnie-kit on, and get ready to feel your oats. This is going to be an inspiration challenge mash-up!
First, pick, get chosen, or create a character. Who are you wanting to tell a story about? Or better, who is the first voice in your head that speaks when you see this picture. Give that person a name and a raison d’ etre.
Second, caption this photo. This is the scene. Build your character a backdrop, using this photo as your guide and inspiration.
Finally, imagine your character into a storyline. Or perhaps let them speak through an existing storyline.
Cotton candy for thought: In your written world all the things you imagine come true.
Let them be real already and the beginning. Craft them.
Remember, as always and from the beginning, the inspiration challenge never needs to be visible in your weekly offering; it is just a starting point. The goal is that it provides for you a new beginning, or a swatch of clarity in the exquisite vastness of always possibility. Let it provide for you a vantage point where you can see your own genius, that part of you that invites you to explore.
Fact, fiction, poetry or prose.
Write on.
