Whose Bicycle Is This?

Let's start the week off with a photo prompt. I loved this picture. It left questions in my mind and I hope it will do the same for you. 

Play the What if...? game as you study the photo. Or maybe we should try one called Who will...?

When you're ready to write your paragraph (or several) or a full story, keep the following in mind:

• Active verbs
• Five senses--taste, touch, sight, smell and sound
• No cliches
• Show instead of telling
• No repeating words--find new ones
• No unnecessary words like very, really, just etc.
• Nix the overlong sentences
• Use adjectives sparingly

Don't turn your nose up at writing exercises. They flex your writing muscles, stimulate the imagination and bring out your creative side. Many a writing exercise has turned into a publishable piece of writing.
