Okay, so this time around I'm doing
things a bit different.
I will be posting 10 Names with identities
and a picture I've chosen for them along
with it. I want you to create their lives
in poetic form OR stories. It's your
choice but label accordingly.
Notes:
- Bring them to life in rich imagery, metaphors
- and use of poetic devices, as well- originality.
- Three entries allowed per person
- as long as you pick diff. characters
- Reserves are fine, but please come back
- Place option/credit in Author's notes
- Credit www. thepromptwriter.com...
- for each person's identity description
