Every Picture Has a Story

This picture is of one of my favorite places, but the swamped rowboat made me wonder about what happened and how it made it to this hike-in lake in the mountains.

What does this picture make you think of? Make up a story that includes this scene.

World Storytelling Day

Stories have had a major role in day to day life since the beginning of time. History, folk lore and morals were passed down through the use of stories.

As writers, we get to continue this age old tradition – connecting people through the use of language.

So for today’s free writing session, tell the story of a time you were afraid. Why fear? Because emotion plays a big part in creating tension and making stories memorable and fear is a strong emotion we have all felt (and remember) from some point in our life.
