Writing * Photography * Contemplation

Eight Visual Writing Prompts

Writing can be tough sometimes.  Maybe we feel out of ideas or distracted by life.  Today, I’m distracted by life.  I said goodbye to my beloved aunt and godmother, my Mom’s sister.  It’s been a long and difficult week – and it’s only Wednesday!

When life happens like that, it’s nice to have tools to fall back on to keep us going with our writing.  One such tool is writing prompts, especially visual ones.

Here are 8 visual writing prompts taken from my own photo library.  I hope they help to spark some inspiration for you!  Please share your results!

How do you inspire yourself to write when you are overwhelmed by life?  Is there an image here that inspired you more than others?  Which one?
