Story Prompts

Random Michelle K asked for suggestions for story ideas – photos, phrases, etc.

I browsed many photo galleries and came up with a list of links. I couldn’t add it as a comment on her blog because, well, that many links would kick it into the spam queue.

For one reason or another, these pictures tell a story to me:

Sunlight Behind Piñon Pines

Elmore Elk

Grounds Crew at the Masters’ Golf Tourney

Moose Crossing O’Malley

Murder Suspect at her Arraignment

Young Girl giving herself Injection

Cosplay at Norwescon

Tyge & Pleo have a Moment

Vegas Under Fire (by Zach!)

Do you have any pictures or phrases that would serve as a writing prompt? Please note that more than two links in a comment will kick your note into my spam queue as well, and I’ll have to fish it back out later.

    Cool–except for the cosplay one. That hurt my brain for some reason.

    I particularly like “young girl giving herself an injection” but nothing is coming to be right at the moment.

    It hurt my brain too. Very scary folks! I do think that somehow there’s a story leading up to why they are proudly posing for a camera dressed in their psychedelic best.

    Although I don’t know for sure, I’m pretty positive the young girl’s name couldn’t possibly be ‘Sophie’. Or ‘not-Sophie’. ;)

    I think the fact they’re cos players is explanation in and of itself.

    The other Tom who comments on my site has some cosplay pictures up at his site. They’re pretty fascinating.

    Dammit! I work hard! I do a good job! I can’t believe they’re still holding that one little accident against me, and won’t let me drive one of the big tractors! I hate driving this little push cart. I feel like I’m fourteen again.

    I mean, they should be over it already! Her hair grew back, they got a replacement shrub, and he only needed a teeny bit of plastic surgery.

    Some people just can’t forgive and forget.

    ROFL!

    Akismet is queuing up your posts when they only have one hyperlink in them – and yet my sensitivity is set to more than two. Bizarre.

    Now that I look at your link – Sakuracon was *here* a few days ago. My eldest really wanted to go but, well, Mom did not bail him out on a little budgeting problem and he had to stay home instead.

  7. Random Michelle K Says:

    Well, now he can know what he missed.

    Or perhaps not.

    Sometimes Akismet is really cranky I’ve found.
