Can you prepare short story by looking at any random photos?

Anything can serve as a seed from which one can grow a creative narrative. My writing group picks “assignments” from about 150 questions we have pulled from the internet. A few examples: “What was your most precious childhood possession?” “If you could live in a different country.” “The moment that changed your life.” We pick a few items each month, although no one is required to use them. It is interesting how different the poems, short stories and essays that are created in response to the same item.

Sure. I would compare this question to what shows up on the last page of the New Yorker magazine every week. They post an uncaptioned cartoon and there is a contest to see who can write the best caption based on the cartoon. Of course, responses are all over the place.

Anything visual can be interpreted by any viewer. So @imrainmaker if there are random photos, different people will make up different short stories about them

I can make up stories about people I see in a restaurant, or store or even a library. It’s a fun diversion.

I don’t care what she says. He is not the father. I am!
