Saved

Introduction

I see a lot of artwork on Facebook that I think would be inspiration for a poem or story.

Vocal requires us to include a lead image or video, and very often we use that to illustrate what we are writing about.

Often, I flip that model.

So What Do I Do?

I see stories in many images but although I see the image a story takes time, often days to come to fruition. In that time I see more images and know that I would love to use those as well.

We do have Vocal Challenges and Resources to help us write and I still use both of those resources as well:

Sorry that Vocal just puts a generic image up for its Challenges and Resources, but they are worth visiting for inspiration.

A few months ago I realised that I could use the Facebook Save function to save the images that I wanted to use. At first I just saved in one category but eventually I havd so much that I just deleted it and started again with categorised Save Groups.

That makes it much easier to decide what to write, and once I have used an image I remove it from the Saved group.

I always include a link to the source in the story as well so you can see where my story came from, and maybe you will find some of their work might inspire you too.

Conclusion

The music is "Save Me" by Atomic Rooster.

I often feel I am lazy because I use images and prompts for my work, but it is part of what allows me to do what I do.

Thank you so much for reading and here are some examples that I have created from the sources listed in my main image:
