Write What You See - June 2008
Last week, I introduced what I hope will be a regular spot of fun here at Words of Redemption: Write What You See - The Monthly Micro-Fiction Challenge.
Click on the link above to catch the details and the general idea if you missed it.
Or, I can give you a brief summary here:
Each month, for WWYS, I’m going to post an image and (maybe) some background information to get you started.
Your job, then, is to take the picture and write a short, short story about it.
And I do mean short. Like 100 words will work. You can write more, but don’t feel like you have to. That’s easy, right?
Here’s the picture for the inaugural WWYS:

Some details: This picture was taken by my lovely wife in Vernazza, a small Italian coastal village, in September of 2007.
Your assignment: Write a story about this picture. The sky’s the limit. You can make the paper-wearing gentlemen your main character, or you can use the photo merely as a jumping-off point. It’s your story. There are no rules.
You have until Friday. Write your story and post it and a link here to your blog on Friday morning. Once you’ve done that, return here and enter your name in the form I’ll have up for results.
If you don’t have a blog, you can email me your story and I’ll post it. Or you can post it in the comment section on Friday.
Happy Writing!
