Hi!
Welcome to the first Creative Perspective Challenge! I have wanted to do this for a long time and decided it was the right moment to get started.
What to do for the challenge or the rules:
- I will provide an image and post it here once a month. I plan on it being the week after my Book Reviews.
- If inspired by the image, write a poem or flash fiction.
- Try to keep it under 1000 words, although I know that isn’t always possible, so don’t worry about it if you can’t.
- Post your story on your website and link it to my post with the image. If you don’t have a blog and I know you, send it to me. I will include it with the links post. Email following.
- Leave your link in my comments or send it to my email: d.l.finn.author@gmail.com I don’t want to miss a single word written!
- The following week I will post a list with all the links so you can visit the other posts too! It’s here I will include stories or poems for those who don’t blog and my story or a poem too.
Ready to get creative? Here’ s the image:

I can’t wait to see what you come up with. Good luck!
I’m excited about your challenge, Denise! I’ll see if I can find some time this week to create something. Congrats on starting something new.

Thanks, Yvette 🙂 Fingers crossed. I look forward to anything you come up it. Xo
All the best to you on this new challenge, Denise.
Thank you, John 🙂
Hi Denise, this looks like fun.
Thanks, Robbie 🙂
Love love that picture–you knew I would. Bare-chested, nothing but a torch, and he doesn’t look frightened at all. That’s my guy!
Lol! Love your interpretation already, Jacqui!
Sounds like fun!
Thanks, Liz 🙂
You’re welcome, Denise.
Have fun, Denise! 💖
Thank you, Colleen 🙂
You’re welcome, Denise.
That image is so evocative! I can’t wait to read the stories. 🙂 What a great idea, Denise. I hope you get a wonderful response.
Thank you, Diana 🙂 I can’t wait either. I’m surprised the direction I took.
I once ran a monthly spec. fiction photo challenge. It was great fun, but required consistency that I couldn’t manage when my parents started needing my help. I hope to participate with yours after my tour and a long nap!
You can’t do extras when family needs you! I look forward to your future participation after a nice long nap xo
Ha. It will be so fun to write flash fiction again.
Hi, Denise. This is a fun challenge, and there are certainly at least a thousand words in that picture. I’ll try. Big hugs.
Thank you, Teagan 🙂 Definitely a thousand words in there. I started with a poem and ended up with a short story. Yay! I look forward to it. Big hugs back xo
This looks like fun! The image is compelling. I’ll see what I can come up with.
Thanks, Jan! I hope it inspires something. Xo
So, this is what I came up with! Hope you like it:

Thank you, Jan! I really enjoyed that 🙂
Missed seeing this post, Denise. I’m excited about this. I probably won’t join in this month, but hopefully in the future.
Thanks, Joan. Whenever you are inspired to join in, I’ll look forward to what you come up with! xo
A good image that can go so many directions, Denise! Perfect choice for your first challenge.
Thank you, Miriam 🙂 I love how each person sees something different.
I am very slowly catching up, Denise. I’ve already seen some results from this. It’s an interesting challenge.
Thank you, Dan 🙂 The responses have been amazing. I don’t think I’ll ever catch up, Dan
I won’t either, but I hang onto some posts that I look at quickly and want to go back to.
Hope this time works – having trouble leaving comments on your blog. I have no talent for poetry or flash fiction, but I’ll enjoy following these posts – great idea, Denise!
Sorry you had issues, Teri. Comments can be touchy sometimes. Some good ones coming in and I’ll have the list Wednesday.
Okay, I did a mini-mini short:) that will show up this Writerly Wednesday:)
