Tips and Advice About Writing and Self-Publishing
It’s now time to focus on the main section of your story. How did it begin (based on last’s week’s photo prompt)? Here’s photo number two. It’s time to figure out how you can weave this image (and your interpretation of it) into your story. Have fun and happy writing.
Only three Wednesday Writing Prompts left for 2019 so I thought we’d do something different. The stories will be interconnected. Each week there will be a photo and it’s where the story begins. The next photo will be for the middle of the story and the final one for its conclusion. So delay writing…
It’s the last Wednesday of the month and the last of the photo prompts. Here’s this week’s one. Who is throwing the dinner party? What’s the occasion? Who’s invited…who isn’t and why? Maybe something exciting or sinister is revealed. If you’re journaling think about an imaginary dinner party. Who would you invite and why?…

It’s the final Wednesday of the month which means the last of the sayings- This time it’s Like father, like son. What story can you think of that features a father and son duo? Do they see eye to eye? Maybe have a falling out or even a reunion. If you’re journaling write about…
Another week, another prompt based on a saying and yes, a cute photo this week too… Let sleeping dogs lie Does your character take note of this saying, if not, what are the consequences for him or her? Are they the one dishing out this advice and what does it pertain to? For those…
Another week, another prompt, and continuing with our October sayings, this week it’s Don’t Count Your Chickens Before They’re Hatched What does that mean for your main character?
