Writing Assignment #2
Our first writing group was a great success. Although we were disappointed that P couldn’t join us due to a late meeting far away, it allowed D, H and I a little time to ease our way into sharing our stories with each other. As the “founding members” of the group, we definitely found a connection to each other and our purpose for writing. For H, it was a catharsis, for D, it was a shaking off of the cobwebs, and for me, it was being able to use writing to entertain. This was particularly relevant because H and D chose to write very emotional and dark stories, respectively.
Now we’re on to assignment #2. Because I’m going to be in Italy for my honeymoon on the date we would have originally met, we’re pushing our meeting up to the 12th, giving us only 2 weeks to create our next story. Continuing our theme of finding inspiration from what has already been created, the assignment will again allow us to react to something.
Could this be my inspiration photo?
Writing assignment #2:
Write a short story, no more than 8-12 pages long, based on the image in a found photograph. The photo cannot be yours, or connected to you in any way.
