A word prompt to get your creativity flowing this weekend. How you use the prompt is up to you. Write a piece of flash fiction, a poem, a chapter for your novel…anything you like. Or take the challenge below – there are no prizes – it’s not a competition but rather a fun writing exercise. If you want to share what you come up with, please leave a link to it in Sammi’s Comment Section.
INNER CHILD
Blind contour drawing. How absurd does that sound? I never cared for the exercise in school and I’m not sure how I feel about it now. The drawing is done in one continuous line without looking.
Recently I did one at a workshop. The instructor asked how I felt about it.
“Vulnerable,” I said. “Like a child.”
“Mission accomplished,” she replied.
Here’s the one I did in the workshop this past Wednesday.
Below is what I did this morning. The instructor suggested I try more contour drawings and add watercolors to them. It is kind of a fun exercise…not sure how I feel about it as an artform. 😉

Actually, that is quite interesting. Picasso would be proud. This is probably worth a fortune.

Dear Jan,
It’s an interesting exercise that gets the artist feeling the shapes. Sort of like stream of consciousness writing only visually. Not sure it’s worth much on the open market. 😉 Thanks, m’luv.

Dear Dale,
Funny, Jan really likes it, too. The whole thing took less than ten minutes this morning. The class was fun, too. Truth is was tagging along with a friend and didn’t think I’d be participating in the workshop. Maybe I’ll try another. 😉 Thank you.
Shalom and lotsa ridiculous hugs,
Rochelle

I agree with him. It really is cool. And I’m glad you ended up tagging along. Why not try another?

Dear Jenne,
I’m glad you liked what I did and took the time to say so. I love the WWP because it nearly always takes me in a different direction than Friday Fictioneers. And I’m not facilitating this one. 😉 Thank you.
Shalom,
Rochelle

That latter one with the watercolor is pretty Picassonian …

I was kind of amazed at how well the second one came out. I really didn’t look on the line drawing. I did add the watercolor while looking at it. 😉

Dear Iain,
I did look at it while watercoloring. I sent pictures to her and she agrees with you. We’ll see. 😉 Thank you.

Dear Earthskyair,
Thank you for your kind words. It does exercise another part of the brain, I believe. I might do a few more for grins.

I like the 2nd one, although it’s missing a wine glass. That Walla Walla Bing Bang tuition is still paying dividends.

Dear Winnie BaGogh,
Hm…I’ll have to do a blind wine glass. I don’t think I need to be blind drunk. I really need to put that Walla Walla Bing Bang diploma on my wall. So far it’s taking up needed space in my invisible box. Thank you.
Shalom,
