Daily Writing Spark #004 – The flower

I personally love visual prompts for my every day writing. They spark my imagination quickly. Today, take this photo and let your mind wander off.

It’s a beautiful, intriguing photo. There are many things that come to mind that you can write about. Take that first thing that just popped up when you saw this picture 😊 Do you want to know what I was thinking about?

• who is this person?
• why are they holding that flower?
• are they doing the ’they love me – they love me not ‘ thing with the flower petals?

I can also imagine that you want to try to capture in words what that fabric feels like. Trying to tell what this person looks like. Well… the possibilities are endless.

How to use this prompt? Well, in any way you wish, of course. My suggestion?

Take the photo and let your mind wander off. Incorporate it in the project you’re already working on, or use it as a way to jump start your creative day. To get the creative energy flowing 😊

Any rules? Nope.

• just carve out like 15 minutes
• take the first thing that springs to mind
• grab a (digital) pen & paper and: GO! write

Give yourself permission to:

• write without editing
• write whatever you want – prose, poem, dialogue …
• have fun while making up the story that goes with the photo
