IWSG - February 2020

Click here to find out more and to see a list of other IWSG blogs.

Question: Has a single photo or work of art ever inspired a story?
What was it and did you finish it?

I'm going to say yes, though I couldn't tell you which for either. I'll see or hear something that gets me thinking, and it morphs. By the time I'm done with it, it might not even resemble whatever it was that triggered the thought.

 Now, a dream . . . definitely yes. What about you?

    Morphs - that's a good word for it. Mine don't morph too far though.

      I like to compare it to sculpture. You start with a lump and your finished product doesn't look anything like it.

    I think epic winterscapes always inspire a good story! And castles and lush forests...

    Definitely a morphing going on with every rewrite it become something more and more its own.

      Exactly! The nibble of an idea becomes a fully fledged story.

    I like morphing ideas. I have them too.

    Morph sure is a good word. As mine go all over

    Sometimes an image from a dream will evoke something in me, but otherwise it could literally be anything:)

    I think I have to say no on the dream front. (They're just too weird...even for fiction.) Photograph, artwork, and music, however, are big ole yes.

      Stephen King gets many of his ideas from his dreams.

    I keep seeing a lot of people post about dreams. I'm more into photographs. I love the fact that I can keep going back to them and finding more inspiration.

      Photos can be great too! They make me want to visit places.
