Instagram Challenge

A picture paints a thousand words. Or at least, that’s what people say.

Maybe I don’t need to frantically search my mind every day. Maybe I can pick a picture and write down what it whispers to me.

It would be amazing, isn’t it? Not having to rely on our Muse to tell us what to do. We could open Google Images and take the first one that shows up, like a heartbroken lover who, out of despair, jumps on the first lady giving him attention.

I always need new ideation techniques to come up with something to write about, so what am I waiting for to try it out?

Every day for a week, I’ll pick a picture I took during the day or from previous travels, write about it, and publish the combination on my Instagram account. 

I am not allowed to use previous writings or pictures/art I didn’t take/make myself.

Instead of forcing my mind to wander around, I will do the opposite by meditating on a single frame. Hopefully, it will allow me to add new dimensions to my writings by changing the dynamic of my thought process.
