A Picture is Worth
Ten-Thousand Words

Writer Instructions:

Find a photograph. In a drawer. In your wallet. In a magazine. Tell the story--true or fictional--that you see in the photograph.

Use one of your own photographs. Or use the photograph of a friend.

Just find inspiration in a picture. Find ten-thousand words.
