Does anyone else have a photo that has inspired them to write a story, or just a blog?
A Shimmy In My Spirit posted a few wonderful photos that could inspire some great ideas for a novel. I might even take it upon myself to do just that.

Behind The Idea

That is a very inspiring photo. I haven't been inspired by a photo yet...but it sounds like an intriguing idea. I'll be on the lookout!
That is a wonderful photo. Beautiful and stunning. It looks like the place a character/person would go to contemplate life, release aggression, or exhibit a climatic turn in his or her life.
Mostly when I see photos, I am inspired to try my own. When I read stories, I want to write my own. I love finding certain descriptions or forms of writing and like to think that I could maybe do the same thing.
It's like the authors you hate. You know, the ones that are just so good that you...hate them? :)
I go the opposite way. I am trying to find the pictures that fit the story I am trying to tell.
Mind you, the stories at this time are just for my blog. I haven't disciplined myself to do what you do. Despite the desire and encouragement. Unfocused, I call it.
Oh yes, yes, Chad. It takes LOTS of discipline...As a matter of fact, as soon as I am done watching this episode of Weeds, drinking my cappucino, playing with my little furball bunnies, and eating a few cookies, I may get back on the disciplined track. :) It just takes a creative mind and a little effort to start a story. The discipline comes after- when you have to refrain from bragging about how much you wrote that day.
Stephanie, you must try this. I think that especially in the romance genre, a picture could say a thousand words.
And I wish I could go out and take my own! It does make me want to go find a beach and create a storm of my own to photograph. I do sometimes find myself jealous of my favorite artists...but without them, I'd have no guidance. :)
