My Story Empire colleague and good friend, D.L. Finn, has started a new monthly blog challenge based on an image. I’m excited and hope to be able to participate each month. Remember when Sooz Burke used to do these challenges? I’ve missed them. So, thank you for the nudge, Denise!
Here is the image and the link to the original challenge blog:…
This is my second story in the Friday Fictioneers challenge hosted by Rachel. I was apprehensive about participating the first time (which was last week) but the Friday Fictioneers group is extremely encouraging. Taking part in this challenge made me realize the truth in the quote ‘ The writer writes only half the book. The other half is the reader.’ I learnt as much from the comments on the…
This is my first attempt at Friday Fictioneers hosted by Rochelle Wisoff. I have been reading Dale’s posts written for the prompts since some time now and have been wanting to try. I finally decided to take the plunge. I don’t know if it sounds like a story but it’s exactly 100 words and is written on the photo below. If you’d like to participate, just click the link for the rules.
Happy #photpromptfriday! Lots of various angles of focus can be selected from this shot. Do you write a story completely in dialogue? Do you focus on the machine in the photo? Do the numbers tell a story, or is that MUTE tempting a tale? It’s up to you and your muse! Happy writing! #stopwritingalone #writingprompt #photoprompt #phonecall https://www.instagram.com/p/CV5RGbfrV5_/?utm_medium=tumblr
I couldn’t resist the vines of this one. Maybe I should have held it out for one more week, but I couldn’t! Here is your #photoprompt of the week! Enjoy! #happywriting let me know what it inspires!

Is there any dialogue from a book📔, movie🎥, or fic✍🏾 that stands out to you?
-
Some of my favorite dialogue comes from A. Lee Martinez’s Helen and Troy’s Epic Road Quest🏎️. In the first chapter, we get gems like “I’m sorry, Mr. Whiteleaf. I’m not going to let a monster eat me for minimum wage.”😆 Martinez is incredibly good at balancing humor with darkness without it feeling forced or gimmicky.
-
So, whether you want to get better at writing dialogue or building different tones in your dialogue, reading and practicing is a great place to start.
-
Bonus exercise🎉: try to write some dialogue between these two people using three different tones (which tones you use is up to you)
-
Share some of your favorite lines of dialogue in the comments.😃

Everyone has a story. What’s yours?
-
It’s time for another photo prompt😀 woot woot!
This time we’re switching it up a bit😁 we’re doing objects this week. We attach meaning to objects and that meaning can tell some really great intimate stories about existence and what it means to be a person in the world.
-
Book Recommendation Time 📚🎆: One of my favorite books that reflects on objects and their meaning in our lives is Remember Ben Clayton by Stephen Harrigan. It has a slower pace, but the journey is well worth the wait as life and the meaning we attach to the objects in our lives doesn’t happen overnight.
-
I love taking objects and building a life around them ❤️.
So that’s your mission for this week. Find the life in these mugs and feel free to share the lives you discover with us in the comments.

Who lives here?
-
I love writing prompts,😍especially photo prompts because there’s always something new to discover or connect with in an image.
-
Bonus tip😁I love using photos for description inspiration. Whether it’s the exterior of the houses in a neighborhood (I love describing craftsman houses) or the cool reading nook in your protagonist’s bedroom, pictures can help spark your imagination and help you get to know your characters better.
-
Share your character profiles or story ideas in the comments.

Love the spectacular captures of Bangalore skies photo prompt and the quote prompt from Monsoon Tales. Congratulations! The prompts are so inspiring that I utilized all three in my short piece. Please slide to see the stunning photos and beautiful quote @shrutiscapes @poetscapes ~ Book giveaway contest of Monsoon Tales is sponsored and published @inkgladiatorspress ~ Amazing work!🕊🙏💞💞💞🕊
My short piece is also in caption. Enjoy🌹
Gaze upon the majestic skies
of Bangalore and be open to
new realities of Monsoon Tales.
Navigate the seas of deceit to find
the islands of truth even when days
stack into forever normal seems a
distant shore when looking ahead
is uncertain you finally look around
for more listening for the sounds of
angels mercy.

Aishwarya, from Kitty’s Verses, picked a great pair of words for us all to work with this week for our #PhotoPrompt challenge. How many of you could have written more than one poem from this image? There was so much here… train tracks, the color green, desolation, leaving, coming, etc. Lots to unpack in this image!
I’m always thrilled each week to see what you all come up with. There is so…
Sunday was family day. Staten Island was Father’s favorite place to go because of the beautiful beaches, plus his good friend, Mr. Frank, had a big home surrounded by a white picket fence, and backyard for us five kids.
Mr. Frank was a Santero. During WWII, he migrated to Cuba from Germany. His live-in housekeeper was from Haiti. She made the best rosemary fried chicken for us.
