My Writing Challenge

This is a photo by Tricia Bateman in a book by Phillip Sexton called "A picture is worth 1,000 words: image-driven story prompts and exercises for writers."

I picked up this book today and decided that I would write a short story for every prompt and picture in the book. That would be 112 short stories, at least.

This is an excerpt from Sexton's book describing what the writer should do.

Interpretations

(Sexton, P. & Bateman, T., 2007. "A Picture is worth 1,000 Words: image-driven story prompts and exercises for writers." Pg. 12-13. Writer's Digest Books, Ohio.)

Exercise: Some might see the photo (above) as having a limited number of interpretations. Challenge yourself to think of two entirely different stories, using the image as you setting.

So that is what I'm going to do. Check back at the end of the month for my stories related to this picture prompt.  If anyone out there in the great unknown of the web-verse would like to participate, feel free and attach your story in the comment section.
