My Story to Appear in the Art and Words Collaborative Show


Bonnie Jo Stufflebeam, she of the lovely dark story in Clarkesworld,  is curating the Arts And Words Collaborative Show. 

My flash, and regular readers might remember it, 'The Unmoveable Sky' is going to inspire a piece of art. I'm going to write a bit of flash or a poem inspired by another artist's painting.

Eleven artists and eleven writers. Then all the contributor's stories, poems and art are going to be displayed in a gallery in Fort Worth.

Wow. How much fun is that?


Cupid complaining to Venus. - Lucas Cranach the Elder
Have you ever been inspired by a visual prompt?  Sounds like a nice idea doesn't it? Wandering a gallery seeking out inspiration.

Maybe I'll also write a story inspired by my avatar, 'Venus Complaining to Cupid' by Lucas Cranach the Elder.

    Sounds like a lot of fun. For some reason I tend to be inspired by auditory prompts rather than visual - some word overheard that sets something off.

      Interesting that we have different triggers, Simon. I like a nice bit of peace and quiet.

      Thanks, Erin. Have you stopped blogging? I just popped over and I couldn't find your blog posts. I'm thinking about giving this blog a make-over too.

    I've entered a few competitions that had visual prompts. It's quite a fun way to get ideas.

      I've done competitions with visual prompts, too. I always try to look at them slantwise. Be obscure, but not too much is a good idea, I think.

    That sounds fun, Deborah! :)

    Visual prompts can be a great way to stimulate sluggish brain cells (I'm not suggesting this is you, of course! :D). I've had a couple of stories published in With Painted Words, who provide a visual prompt each month to base submissions on. Some great ideas can come from this. Enjoy, and congrats!

    How cool is that going to be? I hope you'll be able to share the finished art piece when it's done. That is a great story.
