Writing Prompt #6

I have literally and figuratively been all over the place the last couple of days.  I have a bunch of partial posts to finish, but am finding I’m short on time.  So be forewarned, there’s stuff coming…until then, here’s another prompt…I love this image.

Writing Prompt #5

Growing up, I had very, very long hair that was usually tinged green from all my time spent in chlorinated water.  Growing up in the desert meant that you spent the majority of your time in the pool during those blazing summer months.  Any time we made up imaginary games, I was a mermaid.  Splash was one of my favorite movies.  The Little Mermaid still is.  So you can imagine my delight upon finding this image.

Writing Prompt #3

I’m wildly fond of imagery.  I have dozens of folders on my computer filled with images that strike my fancy in some way, are relevant (or become so) to my writing, or are just simply beautiful.  I thought I’d share them in a series of writing prompts in an effort to help get those creative juices flowing.  Again, feel free to share your thoughts that this image provokes or just use it as it is intended, as a prompt.  Best of luck in your endeavors!

Writing Prompt #1

This is something I’ve been wanting to do for a while.  In an effort to help get those creative juices flowing, I’m starting a series of writing prompts.  Take a look at the image and write whatever it inspires in you.  Feel free to share in the comments or just use it as a jumping off point.

Escapism

Alistair&Lady(Disneyesque)Today is about escape.  I need a little break from the recent bout of insanity that has made a home for itself in my life.  As my blog is not only about writing, but fantasy and romance as well, I thought today would be a good day to just drift…

I have a minor obsession with a video game called Dragon Age.  The first game in the series is brilliant, and I will hold myself back from commenting further as this is not meant to be a review.  I Googled it and found myself on Deviant Art, a wonderful site, where artists take characters they love and create new and beautiful images (and other art, cosplay, fan fiction, etc.).  I cannot draw, and that saddens me sometimes when I see images like these.  Here are a few from DA that I wish I had on my wall:DAII-Fenris

As a writer, an image is sometimes a great way to visualize a character or place.  If you visit my Facebook page, you’ll find albums of pictures I’ve discovered that help me with each story https://www.facebook.com/RachaelCMarek/photos_albums), and give you a little insight into the types of stories I’m working on.  In each, I have one I refer to as a “touchstone”.  One image that defines the story in my mind.  Enjoy!

Artists displayed: rooster82.deviantart.com, smilika.deviantart.com, and rinacane.deviantart.com

FenrisThank you to them for their beautiful work and for giving this fangirl something more for her obsession and imagination!  I’m now inspired to escape by playing a little DA…Have a good day!
