Writing Prompts- Using Pictures



So I've done a post like this before, but this time, we're going to take a look at how we can use certain pictures and combine them in ways we'd wouldn't think of normally.

Note: I don't own any of these pictures.


Setting
What comes to mind: A mysterious day or night out in the woods. Something involving the supernatural perhaps? Or a hot springs with steam rising from it.

Character
What comes to mind: A girl who's spinning around to see a guy she's never met/ hasn't seen in a while. Maybe she's just heard some noise and is spinning around to see what it was. Maybe she's dancing...

Object/random
What comes to mind: For some reason, the futuristic comes to mind when I see this picture. Like, metal snowflakes. That or snowflakes under a microscope.


Random story idea from these...
Girl is walking through the forest on a misty night when it starts to snow. She hears a noise and spins around to see an officer calling towards her. She has been lost in the woods and finally found.

Something like that.

Sincerely,
Sareh

  1. Ooooo! I'm going to do something like this. What I am going to do it go to deviant art, and type those types of things (like girl, place, thing, etc.) and use the 9th photo (because thats my favorite number). Great Idea!!

  2. Hey if you are curious (ok really because they are just cool pictures :D) Here is what I got:
    Character: http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&q=girl#/d3hcet7
    Place: http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&q=place#/d2q1pfx
    Object/Random: http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&q=object%2Frandom#/d2hab7z

    Now I just need to think of a prompt...*thinking face*

  3. Jessika: Thanks! And ooh those are really cool pictures! :D I like the girl with pink hair and the white dragon (I think that's what it is...) I remember seeing picture of it in my Dracopedia. And the picture of the mask is awesome. I have a mask of similar style to it.

    *hm...* Now I want to come up with an idea from that too!

  4. Haha! I said it was like a dragon horse because it looked like a horse body but dragon head and feet. Have fun with it! I love the idea I got :)

  5. I just looked it up and it's called a "Kilin". :) At first I thought it was a unicorn, then a horse, and then the kilin. Lol. Thanks! Cool, can I ask what you came up with?

    I came up with that this girl has to go find a monastery high up in the mountains to get help from a monk who can cure her mother. But she can't get to the monastery without the help of the kilin. And because she's an outlaw she has to travel with a mask.

  6. I got The magical rogue was living fine alone with her rare dragon horse in the a woodsy part of a realm. When her companion's eyes and her wand start glowing at the same time a new realm is open to her and she must travel into it. It seems to be a place completely empty except for a few royal items like mask and gloves.She also finds a lost statue that seems to be older than the clothing and she tries to find out what happened here.

    Which I guess you would change the dragon horse to kilin. It's funny how they are so different!

  7. That's a cool idea! I like the statue idea, it's neat. And the royal items. :)

    Yeah it is!
