Writing prompt...

I get stuck in my own mind at times, never able to be at ease with myself. In these times I find it hard to concentrate and write something productive.

So I set myself a little writing task. A prompt to get my creative juices flowing.

Step 1.

Find a Picture. It can be of anything, you can create something out of nothing; A branch, clothing, the beach, the moon, your first memory... and visualise it.

Step 2.

When, where and why.

You need to know these basic things, they can also help anchor you in the story.

Step 3.

Write, don't think just do. You have a setting and a picture to work from...

If you still can't think, try starting the sentence around the picture and work from there. pic a colour in the picture or what you imagine the weather is like. or you could describe what you feel when you look at the picture and go from there.
