Give yourself 15 minutes. Find a watch, find a buzzer. Write everything that comes into your head. Every detail, any nuance, all associations, just release your mind and let your hands type. Spelling doesn't count, neither does punctuation.
YOU MUST WRITE FROM THIS PERSPECTIVE: You are an ALIEN from another planet, and have never seen what will be depicted in the photos before. Your task is to describe the photos as if they are unknown, and relate them to your mother ship which is collecting data from the earth.
This means if you see a photo of a fried egg and toast, you can't write that the breakfast looks delicious...
Open Word Pad, or Notepad, and get them ready. You will be shown a photograph and you'll probably want to be looking at the photo while you write. Remember, you've got 15 minutes.
(Try not to read the other entries during the contest, just look for a doublet of my armatar, at the beginning of new contests I will post twice so you can quickly scroll through and find the beginning.)
Deadline for Round 1 is Oct 7. You can save the photo and open it later to write when your mind is refreshed, etc...
Soulhack - No. I wasn't wondering why no one was posting at 4am, just two hours after I started this thread. But I am wondering why someone who says she doesn't like me, would post the photo which was obviously hidden in the first place.
The point of these exercises is to learn how to break through writer's block.
Please do not post photos in the future as it only discourages others from learning how to break through.
ok,sorry,let me do better i may put him in a background of my choice,so sorry again
The black american spy from a not to distant timeline had buzz-cut hair,no beard or mostauche,wearing a jacket and a jet-black shirt saying justice,may look like a normal man,but is actually searching for an important piece of infomation that might save humanity from the threat they are facing now,his glasses scanning the computer mainframe for any infomation that may prove useful,as well as showing more trival infomation like his heartbeat,pulserate,blood pressure,etc. suddenly,he spots the infomation he needs and saves it in his glasses memory,his stern expression turning into a victorious grin,for no one will know anything he have done today,and that he have again won a prize he will need,to live another day
Thanks Blu3s and playaholic. It's really nice of you.
Let me make it a little easier.
ROUND 3
Give yourself 15 minutes. Write down anything that comes into your mind as you look at the photo. Spelling and punctuation don't count. Remember, your a alien and have never seen this scene before.
Describe the scene. -Alternate: Create a short story that begins and end at this scene.
