I recently completed a piece for the website Two Drops of Ink. It's an entry in their contest where writers are asked to describe an image in 1000 words. One has to admire the cleverness of creating a contest out of the old chestnut "a picture is worth...", and I certainly enjoyed the challenge. It's not as easy as it seems to compose a story around a description.
Now writers could choose one of several photo prompts, but that didn't make things any easier. In fact the excellent selection made it more difficult. Sometimes too many options is a distraction. However, I think I managed to settle on the one that fit what I do best. Perhaps I should've taken the challenge a step further, gone outside my comfort zone. Next time...
For now, I'm asking you, dear readers, to check out Two Drops of Ink. Not just to read my new piece which I'm sure you'll enjoy. Two Drops is a literary blog striving to help other ink-smiths get their footing as well as inspiration to pen their best pieces possible. From advice to fiction, it's got a little something for everyone. So don't just pop in for my stuff. Stick around, and check out the site as a whole.
In addition, I rarely do this, however, please be sure to like and reply to the story I've writing, assuming you enjoyed it. I'm hoping you do, but there are a lot of other fine offerings in this contest. Give them a read then vote for the one you prefer. If it's not me that's fine. I just want you to have a good time. Follow the link below, and as always, enjoy!
