Today’s Take Action Prompt: Every Picture Tells A Story
By Sandra Lee Schubert | April 2, 2008
Every Picture Tells A Story
Pick a photo. Find one in the newspaper, or magazine. Look through archives of old photos or borrow a friend’s photo album. Using your amazing power of creativity write a short story, 400 to 1000 words. Be wildly inventive; create characters, a plot line. Who are these people, what is this location? Create something from the photo. Write two or more versions. Try it from different perspectives. Imagine you are a great granddaughter looking at the building where your family lived for generations before losing it in the depression. What does it tell you?
Locations, buildings and inanimate objects can tell you a story if you look, listen and observe what it going on. Each day we wake up and get to choose once again how we will create our lives. We can live those choices and we can write about them. What will you create for yourself tomorrow?
