It stares back at you — it’s glare so bright you need sunglasses— that blank page where no words want to go.
The Blank Page
It happens.
It happens a lot.
Here’s a solution when time won’t let you daydream into a great idea.
Use pixabay plugin lets you easily choose pictures. And that picture is your chance for a fun freewrite, quick story, or thoughtful poem.
Just follow the pixabay plugin link and follow directions.
Example
I searched for, of course, “Blank Page.”

White, it glared and stared—
this blank page waiting for my words;
Pulling at my eyes of blue
Daring me, controlling me,
But I, with a blink of my eye
and tilt of my head
Saw the faintest blue dot:
a spot where none had been,
lift up and out in gentle wings
Of soft blue,
hovering, floating, and drawing
out the summer blossoms
of Grandmother’s garden:
a favorite of butterflies,
and now my muse
for words I choose.
~ Sheri Edwards
And that’s it: a post of imagination; a story or poem to share; a chance to write with no boundaries, except a picture prompt of inspiration.
Enjoy!

This is a continuation of #blogging28 and my February Goals.
Today I was to check out my blog roll, choose one of my blogging colleagues and read, comment, and discuss.
One writing teacher colleague I admire is Deanna Mascle; her blog share’s many ideas and strategies, and like me, she doesn’t like the red pen of shame —- she encourages the positive of what the writer can do more of in their writing.
I read Deanna Mascle’s Post on Why? Write with led me to her list of wonderful prompts, which you could choose when that blank page hits you. I added this post as another option.
Thank you, Deanna, for your continuous inspiration.
