Writing Challenge ~ January 2012

So here we go! Here is this month’s prompt, the first of 2012, and this month the challenge will run for 10 days…


You can involve the prompt itself in your piece and make your link to the prompt as obvious or as subtle as you like or use it simply as inspiration for something else. I tried to keep the prompt open to a wide variety of interpretations and don’t want to say too much as it will be interesting to see how different people are inspired by the image!

The word limit for this month’s challenge is 2,500 words and your submission can take whatever form you desire – poetry or prose, complete story or a vignette. Erotic or not, serious or light hearted, it’s whatever you want it to be!!

Post only your submissions in this thread, constructive comments and reviews are to be posted in the appropriately named – Writing Challenge Review Thread

The deadline for this month’s challenge is Friday 27th January 2012, to allow readers time to get through everything before the February challenge starts!

Happy writing!
