10-Word Stories With Not-So-Random Pics

Challenge accepted — again!

“My bestie and me enjoying nightlife! But where is Maui?”

Fate had it so! Several times last week I was tagged to different variations of the 10-word-story challenge.

So how could I say no to that?

Despite the fact that I have already participated once.

Back then I tried my hand at poetic lines, today I followed Julie’s example and used pictures. 👉 At this point, by the way, thank you for challenging me! 💕

Julie’s 10-Word-10-Picture Challenge

Besides Julie, Deb Fiore and Shanice Lawton have also invited me to do the challenge! And even if I keep it today with just the pictures, I’m still very happy and grateful that the two have thought of me!

Please, feel free to check out their challenges as well, because the approach with the “chain story” is also totally exciting and creative:

Deb’s Ten-Word Story Challenge

Shanice’s Ten-Word Story Challenge

➡️ But now without further ado on to the pictures!

“I do not mind the arrow in my head, baby.”

“Enchanted by his voice I whispered: This is utter perfection.”

“Once upon a time there was no thing like Corona.”

“Blessed with a child who enjoys partying at 4 am.”

“Blessed with a child who enjoys naps at 4 pm.”

“I never finished my first game as a game designer.”

“When my super cute baby boy makes super delicious lunch.”

“My son is so cute, even his writing is adorable.”

“Five years ago, our winter mornings were still icy cold.”

“But why is this bunny happily jumping on our bed?!”

And that’s it!

By the way, I love this picture challenge, especially with personal photos.

Pamela Oglesby and M&Z have done a super beautiful job here! Please, check them out as well if you have time:

And for the sake of completeness, here’s my first challenge, where my 10-word stories were inspired by poems I had previously written in German.

And as the rules of the game suggest, I’ll finish by inviting a few fellow writers to the challenge:

Jeanine Tew, Gerald Washington, DM Miller, Cameron Thomson, Michael Rhodes, Tai Le Grice, Miriam Slozberg

Not a must, all voluntary! But it would be fun to see what you come up with. 💕
