This is not an official Vocal Challenge. Just an idea I came up with last night.

So, I’ve never posted a challenge idea of my own. Or it’s been so long, that I’ve forgotten. But here’s one I came up with after writing Let Her Dance last night.

Your task is to enter a single word prompt into Unsplash. Find a picture that strikes/inspires you, and write a piece based on that picture.

There is no time limit on this.

The rules:

1. The picture must be from Unsplash. No, self uploaded images, AI generated images, or any other images that are not from Unsplash.

2. Your piece can be in any community, but must be fiction. No typing in a prompt that will generate a nonfiction prompt that you are comfortable writing about. The intent of this is to break from your comfort zone.

3. There is no time limit. You can respond with your links in the comment section on this story. But I’d prefer you to send them to me, and I will add them to a running list on the Story to create a compendium of everyone’s works.

Thank you. I can’t wait to see what everyone does. Thank you for reading my work. If you enjoyed this story, there’s more below.
