Hey beautiful guys and dolls!! Welcome to my first post during WRITER IN MOTION round two. I was lucky enough to be chosen in the raffle to have my short, 1,000 word or less flash fiction chosen to be edited by a professional editor! So, follow along my journey as I go from prompt to polished draft in for weeks. Out first post is prepping for the first draft. Given the prompt, what were my first thoughts and what did I do to prep the character, story, and plot?? HEre's the photo prompt: Honestly, it didn't speak me. At all. I was lost, and my excitement quickly deflated like a helium balloon stuffed in the back of a dark closet. Not because I didn't like the photo. I LOVED it. But because I was completely lost in ideas. So, I put the put the picture away, and ignored it. Well, that's not true. The photo haunted me for hours. Who was this girl? Why was she here? What had happened up to this point in time? That's when it hit me. Tell the story before...
Well, it's hills, so I would say there are trees. Maybe a lush and quiet stream flowing throw a delightful meadow. Green grass, wild flowers and warm sun.
ReplyDeleteI think there are trees, too, but no grass. Rocks, bushes, eagles, and snakes. Dinosaur snakes!
ReplyDeleteThey are how you might imagine hell. There is lots of lava, it's hot, and there are dino bones scattered about.
ReplyDeleteNo trees, no grass, no humans. Only scary, creepy "others." Cold. Rainy. High in the hills.
