February 5 question – Has a single photo or work of art ever inspired a story? What was it and did you finish it?
There’s a simple answer to this. No.
I’ve never written a story or a poem that was inspired by a story. On the other hand, I’ve got photos of real places I’ve been to that inspired a poem or bits of a story. The photo below inspired a poem about learning to breath again at 12,000 feet.
And then there’s the library that inspires many scenes in the Harmony Duprie mysteries.
And here’s a scene I want to use in a story but haven’t yet.
So I guess I can say that in my writing, life inspires art and not the other way around!
