Greetings and salutations!
Welcome to my little experimental workspace. What is it about you ask? Writing. Pure and simple writing. I decided I wanted a place to just let my creative thoughts roam but with a wee bit of inspiration. Something that helps my habit of writing and in turn will help me refine my skills.
So, my plan for inspiration is simple… find an image and just write whatever comes to mind about it. Maybe it will be a short story, perhaps a flash fiction, or a poem. Might be a critique or simply describing what is there. Who knows? I certainly don’t but I’ll find out.
But how do I pick the image I hear you ask. Well, at least to start with, I’m going to go with some general guidelines. They are of course subject to change at my whim but at least for now, here are the general guidelines I am going to use:
Picking the image:
- Inspirational Image:
Just an image that prompts me enough to write. Straightforward and exactly as it sounds
- Word of the day exercise:
Choosing an image at random that is inspired by a word of the day (Currently Wordsmith.org and Merriam-Webster’s are the two I’m using. So either of these will provide my image search term and I’ll pick an image from the results
Writing:
- No minimum or maximum word count
- Might be a story or a poem or a critique or simply a description
