Do I dare say it? (It’s so cliché) A picture is worth a thousand words…so sometimes it’s fun to write from a picture prompt. In “Is Life Like This?” Mr. Fefresne suggests photos, catalogues, books on photography, you name it, find photos that call to you. Then ask yourself about the characters in the photos. Who are they? What are their secrets?

Tell us about the location. Not only what it looks like, though we want this is detail, but go deeper.What mood does the photograph suggest or pull from within you?  Follow your heart and follow your pen.
