WRITING PROMPT
A Picture Speaks a Thousand Words
A unique inspirational challenge for our Memoirists

Hello, Memoirist family!
If you have not yet had a chance to read Gaurav Jain’s recent newsletter for The Memoirist, I promise that despite the cheesy feature photo, it’s jam-packed with information. I’ll link to it below.
In his newsletter, G posed a brilliant new prompt for us.
If you need further inspiration, I would like to present a unique challenge to all the writers.
Dig in your photo albums and tell the story behind your favorite picture(s) in precisely one thousand words — not a word more or less.
The word limit does not include the titles, subtitles, kickers and photo captions.
Use the kicker — “A picture speaks a thousand words” for these submissions.
I often look to photographs for inspiration and memory recall when writing a memoir. If you are interested in refining your skills, or even if you are looking for a fun exercise, this is a great one and I’ll definitely be participating!
