Three Things: The Light Source Edition

Today I’m contemplating light sources, and how they can set a scene. This week, let’s utilize a single light source in a setting. Will yours be artificial or natural light? An everyday scene, or a surreal one?

There’s nothing better than a foggy day to set a mood. Mood for what, exactly? That’s for you to decide and then write about. Go!

This week’s Three Things is all about the slow burn. Below are three things literally burning slowly… that hopefully inspire some stories that burn a bit more metaphorically.

Three Things: The Solitude Edition, III

Let’s take some time for a moment of solitude this week, before the end-of-summer rush begins. I’ve collected three solitary figures. Care to write a character or scene around one (or all)?
