When you tap into and strike up conversations with your imagination -- the place where your greatest stories and novels reside -- it wakes up, and loves being listened to and trusted.
Here's a monthly (or so) practice, just ten minutes (or keep going if you choose), to open and strengthen that communication pathway.
1. Grab a pen and notebook.
2. View the image and any text beneath it.
3. Start the 10-minute timer (below image).
4. Have your imagination start a scene or story based on how it responded to the image and text.
5. Write continually non-stop until time is up. Even if you write, "I don't know what to write, I don't know what to write..." that's okay. It still works to build bridges to that buried voice.
For December 2024
In what building is this fireplace? In what country is this building? Your story's main character is standing before the flame with anxiously wringing hands. Does your character live in this building? Why is s/he standing before the fire and why is s/he anxious?New image and writing prompt put up near the beginning of each month.
