Keeping on

Hi, Lyssa here.  The last three months of prompts were set up by me during a marathon session where I looted Wiki Commons for public domain pictures and tried to remember all the great quotes (and yes, I searched online as well).

I am about to start another marathon session, with Thomas' input this time, and now is a good time to give me any feedback, ideas or suggestions.

We would both really love to hear what you think, please let us know.  Lyssa M x

    I've enjoyed the prompts, especially since they are only required to inspire.

    The pictures and quotes have been awesome the last three months and I know that I have enjoyed them greatly! I would only have two suggestions (and that's just because I love these two things for inspiration): pictures/quotes about nature and pictures/quotes about space. I think that NASA's pictures are open for public use. At least, I hope they are, it's been a bit since I've used pictures other than from wiki commons or my own camera.

      Honest, I had one from NASA cued up already (I've got as far as the start of February), that is a happy coincidence. However I shall have a rummage over there now I know I can go direct, and I shall definitely look at nature quotes, thanks for the idea and thank you for commenting. Lyssa M x

    The U.S. Library of Congress has a vast photograph archive and many are Public Domain, or available for "fair use."

Last Challenge Wednesday 27 June 2017

This is the last challenge, at least for a while, as things here are too hectic to do justice to the wonderful work people have created after looking at this blog.  However, if you like your writing challenges, I recommend you look over to 'Our Write Side' and they have some awesome challenges.  I'm sure you'll find something that sparks there.   Tom and I only ever wanted to fill a gap that we missed when Trifecta gracefully bowed out, and we have had a lot of fun setting the challenges (and trying to see what we could manage ourselves).  Tonight I'm setting a challenge that I hope is fun, inspiring and challenging - just like every week.   Here is the picture.  Please credit it if you use it in your blog.

Challenge - 28th April 2014

Are you ready to start the week?  Below you will find two prompts, one a picture and one a quote.  Have a look and see what story they inspire you to tell and then go for it - in 500 words or less!  You can use one or both and you don't need to refer to them directly in your writing, just follow that spark of inspiration whether it is fact, fiction or poetry.   Here's the picture prompt: Picture by chidseyc on rgbstock.com and here's the quote: A dream has power to poison sleep   - Mutability, Percy Bysshe Shelley You have until next Sunday at noon GMT so go for it.  Have fun, write some stuff and then use the link tool underneath to let people see it - if you can put a link on your blog pointing back here, so much the better.   It is really encouraging to have comments on your work and it can give people a real lift.  Sometimes it is nice to just let someone know that their writing hit the spot.  Sometimes you can give a little help with a

Challenge - Monday 12th May 2014

Welcome to Monday and the Monday Challenge It's been an amazing second week of the Light and Shade Challenge. Tom and I have been sharing notes and we have enjoyed reading the contributions so much. I have literally laughed out loud and been close to tears. I am in awe. If you have any feedback, suggestions or ideas please let us know. Do you think the two challenges in the week are a good idea or too much? How do you like the word count - too high, too low or just right? We started the Light and Shade Challenge because we were missing Trifecta, not because we thought we knew all the answers, so we are really grateful to get any feedback. Anyway, are you ready to start the week?  Below you will find two prompts, one a picture and one a quote.  Have a look and see what story they inspire you to tell and then go for it - in 500 words or less!  You can use one or both and you don't need to refer to them in your writing, just follow that spark of inspiration whet
