September Weekly Creative Writing Exercise #1: discover the story

In August, I taught a four week online novel coaching course and came up with creative writing exercises for the participants. The exercises were a lot of fun and I thought I'll post them here, every Friday all through September. (Thank you, [livejournal.com profile] kitty_fic for giving me permission to post :D). You can write fanfic or original fic.

Creative Writing Exercise #1

1. Chose one of the pictures:

Hopper Brooklyn1932.jpg
Edward Hopper, Room in Brooklyn (1932)


JeffWallMilk1984.jpg
Jeff Wall, Milk (1984)


2. Write 600 to 1000 words about the picture you've chosen. Don't analyze it, don't put it into a historical or art perspective. Simply describe the picture and discover a story in it. Note specific details and use them for your writing. You may write a description of the picture, or a short story inspired by it.

Post your writing in a comment to this post, no later than Sunday, September 4, 6pm GMT.
Do not write more than 1000 words. (Word Counter)
