Picture it & Write is a weekly creative writing prompt. We invite people to join in by commenting with a work 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 (please provide a translation).

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.

Explicit content warning.

They tell me otters rape baby seals. They tell me my uncle lied to me, catfished me. They tell me squirrels are just rats with fuzzy tails. These statements, these “truths” do not work for me. Knowing them does not make me happy; knowing them does not affect my daily life. And so I intentionally forget that any of it is true. I design the world I want to live in. I create a world of magic and illusion. Everyone chooses what to believe. They choose whether or not to believe in religion, Fate, magic, vampires, the end of the world. I choose to think that squirrels have nothing to do with rats.

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.

By Jeffrey Smith

The waves crashed against the lighthouse. I squinted. It was not because there was lots of light, in fact, there was barely any light. The enormity of the lighthouse had overwhelmed me. As I stared, the waves spat sea spray at me. I did not feel welcome.

The longer I waited, the longer this job would take. They had been clear. Get the girl, wipe away the debt. If this was the address, she had to be somewhere inside. How bad could this visit to the lighthouse be?

Once again, Happy New Year!  We’re inviting artists, photographers, and anyone else to post images of one of our Blind Sight characters to go in a gallery on the blog and on Facebook. The prize this time?  Both volumes of our debut novel, Blind Sight.

One volume is told through the eyes of Leocardo Reyes and the other through the eyes of Aniela Dawson so the first galleries of 2012 will feature them.  Entries for the contest are open through February 29.  Winners will be announced on the day of Blind Sight‘s release: March 1.  Submissions to the gallery will remain open after February 29, but will not be eligible for the contest.
