Visual Story Prompt #2

Who is this lady? Where is she? Who is with her? What is she doing? What is the atmosphere/setting like? What time period is this? Is this lady a "good" character or a "bad" character? What is her name?

Ask yourself some questions about this scene and write down whatever inspires you. If you use this visual prompt for your own writing, please let me know. I'm happy to provide a link to your own work on your own site or blog, or I'm happy to share what you come up with on this blog, even if it's just an opening sentence.



Visual Story Prompt #1

Take a look at this picture and ask yourself some questions about it. Who is this lady? What is she doing? How did the papers get all over the floor? What will she do now? Who is about to enter the scene? Who has just left? What do the papers say?

I hope that this vintage image from a children's book inspires you. If you write a story, part of a story, or even a sentence, please let me know and I'll post a link to your work on your own site or blog, or I might add it to this blog for others to read. Have fun with it!
