I remembered a story I read of a guy who attended comic con every year (Comic Book Convention for those who don't know!). He always took a fresh sketch notebook, a smallish one, and asked the artists that he talked to to sketch him something. He said he found that most were very obliging but complained about having to come up with something on their own, with a line of people waiting. So he came up with themes! Every year at comic con, he would go home with a sketchbook full of sketches by some of the best comic book artists in the industry, all on one theme. I remember he said one year, he told them all, "cliff." Some drew people jumping, falling, pulling people back up, shoving people over the edge, scaling with a rope, scanning the horizon--he had some examples there in the article. So cool! :)
So I thought I'd do the same thing here, but not just a writing prompt:
what does my one-word prompt inspire in you?
A blog post?
A photo?
A sketch?
Maybe a poem?
Anything you'd like! :)
Get brainstormin' people--send me your theme suggestions! :)
DIRECTIONS:
Over under my Labels or Categories, you'll see the themes listed by month, directing you to the original post.
Send me your entry via email and I will add it to the body of the post for the month.
I will include your name and a link to your blog or website, where I encourage you to post it as well.
Please take a copy of the Monthly Themes button {coming soon!!} on the home page of my site for your own site or blog and link it back to me.
Why am I not using Linky tools or some other such device?
Because I thought it would look cool to see all the creations one after another in one post. However, if I begin to get a ton of responses and it becomes too much for me, I'll add linky tools. If just kind of sucks to have to travel to a bunch of different sites to see the entries is all!
