Guilty Diversions

I blogged this morning on my Chocoholic Blog about mood and using pictures to help get the words flowing. Even when I'm not in the mood to work on what I really need to be working on, it still somehow manages to surprise me that I can write OTHER stuff. LOL. Procrastination, mebbe? The thrill of doing something else when there's work to be done?

Still, I don't think the foray into a bit of guilty writing (prompts, free writing, whatever you'd like to call it) is necessarily a bad thing.

So, I thought I'd post some pix with some writing prompts---use 'em if you want to. I'm just going to write myself a note to remember to come back here and play next time I need a diversion. GGG.

What a view! Setting is important in your novel, readers like to know where they are! Even if you prefer to create fictional towns, you still have to plunk that town somewhere and be able to describe it so as to give the reader a good sense of place. So, how would you describe this picture if you were to use it for a scene in your manuscript? Remember, it's not all about sight, either!




Peek-a-boo! Where would your character come across this sight? What sort of reaction/emotion can you portray here?




What sort of scene would you set in a thunderstorm?
