Need a breather from your current WIP?? Sometimes taking a break, working on something new or finding a new angle can breathe new life into your story!
Take a look at this picture and get your Sherlock hats on:
Where is she going? Or is she already there? Is she running from something or running to something? Is it a happy trip? Work trip? Sad trip? What did she pack? Will she be meeting someone on this trip or traveling with someone?
The questions are endless... ;)
Now, grab a pen and write a paragraph or two about our mystery traveler! Have fun!

Will that do? :)
Thanks! This is a great way to get the cretive juices flowing...going to get started.
