A picture prompt writing exercise is a great way to get some writing done at the end of the working week, wouldn’t you agree? The idea behind this type of creative writing exercise is to let a picture, an image inspire you to write a story, poem, flash or any other piece of writing you are currently dabbling in. No predefined words, sentences or phrases stand between you and your creative ideas with this type of writing exercise and you are basically free to write about any old thing. All the picture does is help you get started.
The picture prompt:
The instructions:
As per usual, look at the picture above and let it tell you a story. Once you have a grasp on the story start writing. Free write for at least 30 minutes then put the story aside and only return to it a few days later when you will be able to see it with fresh eyes.
Stay creative!
