For me it has been a long while since I have spent any time doing anything the least bit creative short of some drawing and sketching at home. When I was a kid at school I used to love writing. I used to enjoy spending time at home or on the bus scribbling away stories and scenes in notebooks and on scrap pieces of paper. But as I got older and moved on to university and then work it seems that time to do anything like that has been eaten up by other things until one day. . .

I just stopped!

And so I have now set myself a task. To get myself writing again, each week I will pick and image (and they could come from anywhere) and write a short scene to accompany the image. These little snippets of work will comprise of at least 250 and I will attempt to vary the theme and style of each piece. The whole idea is to use this as something of a literary exercise session to get me to use those long forgotten brain cells again and putting pen to paper, or finger to keyboard as the case may be, to produce something interesting for the fun of it.

I welcome any crits for these pieces and if anyone feels like joining me in this please feel free. I'll be putting up my first piece in a little bit.
