Visual Dare (With a Twist)



Hello Friends!! I am currently down to the wire with a couple paying jobs this week, not to mention trying to catch up on some desperately needed sleep. (Four hours a night will only get you so far. Just so you know.)

Hence, this means that this week's Visual Dare is a rather unorthodox one.

No - no hiatus. Seriously. But a little different. I think you'll like this, so hear me out.

Fact: There's not a "new" dare posted this week. Yes, I know it doesn't take a lot of effort to post one photo. But it does take a LOT of time to give the proper attention to each entry submitted. I fell a bit behind on that this past week, and I don't like doing that to my participants.

Your entries matter to me. YOU matter to me.

With my multiple jobs, I've GOT to make the remaining days of October work for me, especially if I want even the faintest chance of doing NaNoWriMo this year. This means limited time at the computer. More so than usual.

Result: My "usual" approach to Visual Dares will return in November to coincide with NaNoWriMo. Moreover, they will have a special anniversary twist, since it was NaNo of last year during which I first debuted the Visual Dare.

What are you going to do until November 7th, you ask? So glad you asked!!!!

If you'd like a look at the sort of thing to expect, you can whet your appetite with last year's challenges. Try out the original Visual Dares....

                                                      - OR HERE -

OR you can check out the official VisDare archives.

Just for fun, I've added the usual InLinkz widget below, so people can easily visit each other's entries.
This widget will be open for two weeks.

Don't forget to post the photo and name of the challenge you decided to use
when you post your entry to your blog!!

I obviously can't promise to respond to each one. But I will visit them all.
It just won't be in the next two weeks. I hope you understand.

JUST KEEP WRITING!!!

Visual Dare 26: Eclipse


TIME FOR ANOTHER VISUAL DARE!



Below is another photo prompt, with all sorts of curious possibilities.


I know my regular VisDare cohorts like their photos quirky, so of course I had to use this one.

So that takes us to the big question....where does this take you?

What story grabs you by the imagination?


You know the drill.....tell the story in 100 words...or less.


This prompt will be up until next Tuesday midnight EST. Then we'll do it again...!



Can't wait to see what people come up with for this one!
