We Writers Never Stop! Next Meeting on August 7!

One of our members forwarded this photograph to stimulate some ideas! Members will either use it to create an opening sentence for a possible story, or for a full story or for our ten minute on-the-spot writing challenge which we participate in during some of our meetings.
We also have a word challenge this month. Members write a short story ahead of the meeting incorporating all of the words which were selected in the previous meeting, and read it out to the group.
This month's words are alive; scant; uncontrollable; skunk; topography; wince. 
Examples of previous word challenge stories are included in this blog. Check them out!
