Photo writing prompt 

It probably hasn’t been too easy to remember over the past few months that this blog is supposed to be for both creative writing and photography.  I love the idea of using both of these mediums together.  So it was as I was looking through some of my older pictures that I came across this…a photo taken in Iceland of a partially completed boat.  I really don’t know anything else about the setting.  I simply saw the boat, and wanted to take the picture. 

Now, years later, it caught my eye, and a story idea jumped out.  And as sometimes happens with this kind of inspiration, the boat in this story idea is nowhere near Iceland.  I’ve worked on it for a couple of days now, and although I’m struggling with a key idea or two, I’m pleased with how this short story is coming along.  Interestingly, I think it’s evolving into dark fiction, possibly even horror, although I don’t know that I feel comfortable calling it that.  Once I can step back a little, I’ll share some of it.
