I urge people to join in, comment with your paragraph of fiction to accompany the image. It doesn’t have to follow my story or reflect the same themes. It can be a poem or in a different language (provide a translation please  ). Anyone who wants to join in, is welcome. This photograph will be reblogged under Ermisenda on tumblr and added to the Picture it & Write gallery on Facebook and Pinterest.

Please continue to write however you’re inspired, but add a tag to the beginning of your post if there’s mature content in order to keep Picture it & Write an engaging event for all of our followers.

It was dark. Each way I turned, I could only see a blur of what had been. I remembered running down these streets with my brothers and sisters, all eight of them. No children littered the streets now. Only a decrepit man was strewn across a rusty street bench.

I quickened my pace. The bottom of my dress collected grime from the street. I shuddered at the thought. It was too expensive to be dragging on the ground. What would my husband think? So much had changed since when I had married the Count and left my hometown. I could see that much had happened here too.

__writers’ festivals

Have you ever gone to a writers’ festival? Sydney’s Writers’ Festival is on in May and I am planning to go. Suprisingly, most of the good talks are during the week and I can only manage to go down to Sydney on the weekend. I don’t really think I’m going to learn that much but I think that it would be a great place to be inspired and bathe in the atmosphere. A lot of the talks are about the authors themselves.

What I love about this festival is that so many of the programs are free, there are priced ones as well, but you can organise your schedule to get a whole day of free writers-related programs.

I have never been to a writers’ festival before but I always wanted to. This year, it seems, I will finally be heading on over to the Sydney’s Writers Festival.

So, dear readers, have you ever gone? Was it a worthwhile experience? Would you recommend to other writers and readers?
