Photos are often great inspiration for writing. Whether it’s a photo of a person, an activity, or a setting (or even something completely abstract), visual images can spark the beginning of some wonderful stories. In my own writing, I like to collect photos while I’m planning a story to give myself an idea of what my worlds look like. This is true whether I’m working on a science fiction or fantasy story or something set in our own world.

If you’d like to share whatever you write based on the image below, please include it in the comments below. It doesn’t even have to be directly related to the image, just as long as the image was the inspiration for it. At some point in the future, this may turn into a weekly competition with prizes. So get your practice in now!

A couple of basic ground rules for submitting your work. Please, nothing derogatory or defamatory about any person, living or dead. Also, please keep your writing samples PG-13 rated. I reserve the right to remove comments that I don’t find appropriate for the site or that I deem may be potentially offensive.
