I wanted to write stories for ages but I could never finished even one story … It’s all because I have lack of reason to finished them. I have some stories going on in my head but they are just bits of unfinished stories.
And then I Wrote 2 turtle stories based on my turtles’ pictures, they were just for fun. I really enjoy writing those 2 stories and planning to write more stories one day.
More than a week ago, I followed the link tweeted by Olive O’Brien to her blog (she is a member of that blog) called Creative Writing Ink. I have also subscribed to that blog months ago. That link led to a post about Writing Exercise.
The instructions are very simple:
- Every Monday morning we’ll post a a photo or illustration. You are then invited to write a short story or poem using the picture featured in this post as your inspiration. Feel free to take the photo to use for your post.
- Link back to this page on your post.
- Sign up in the Mr. Linky list, linking directly to your post, after you’ve posted. Please only enter links that lead to a story based on the picture below, or unfortunately we will have to delete it. If your link doesn’t appear or if you need help with adding or fixing a link, don’t hesitate to email me.
- Post your piece on your blog no later than 5pm GMT (12pm EST) Friday.
I was so intrigued by this writing exercise and thought that this could be my chance to start writing down all the stories I have in my head.
Who is Olive O’Brien anyway? I met her last year through movie blogosphere. Although I met her through movie, she is now focusing more on her writing blogs, Write Olive and Silver Angel Publishing. Olive is the writer of 3 Children Books, Perry the Playful Polar Bear, Perry the Polar Bear Goes Green and Eco zico.
I am just an amateur writer and I know I will need all the critiques I needed to improve myself…so please criticize my stories! Share me your honest opinion on my stories.
I hope I won’t get bored and continue writing stories week after week, or at least, month after month.
