The challenge was on Instagram and set by @marielipscombwriting.
This is the first time I have done a photo prompt challenge but I really enjoyed it. It got me posting everyday and gave me a range of ways to share my writing and passion through photos.
Here are the highlights:
Top three photos from the challenge
This pictures are the ones that recieved the highest engagement on Instagram.
Day 25 #AuthorSelfie
I have never had a photo do so well. I thing it was boosted by the increased engagement due to the daily activity but I got over 300 likes in less than 24 hours. This is ten times more than what I would get on a popular photo.
Day 9 #WhatMotivatesYou
I think my new writer following was able to relate to this photo as I regramed a photo from @gracethewriter8 that really resonated with my dream. It is that hope that one day I will make it that keeps me going.
Day 15 #BeProud
This was the day that I shared a picture of myself with my family.
My favourites
I couldn’t see how to share my writing online unless it was text. I really enoyed these photos as I was able to share with people my stories:
Day 17 #TheUltimateDream
I felt embarassed to admit my dream but then I thought “What the heck!” It turns out that a lot of writers share my dream.
Day 19 #MoodBoard
I decided to do the Mood Board for Jewel of the sea to give a feel of the novel. It was my first time creating one.
Day 4 #CharacterFlaw
It actually made me think about what makes my characters weak or unattractive.
Day 5 #CharacterStrength
I found reflecting on their weaknesses helped me to identify their strengths. It also made me want to go back and edit their weaknesses.
Day 6 #TheLoveInterest
I decided to focus on just Jace as he is the love interest in both the projects I am working on. It is a love triangle and I decided to write it from both girls sides as seperate stories.
Day 7 #TheVillans
I went for the villian that is the catalyst for the story. Even though she doesn’t feature in Jewel of the sea, her actions is what send the crows to go soul snatching on their doorstep.
Day 10 #FavouriteLine
I really enjoyed this as I have a few favourite lines in my project. The ones that I smile whenever I read and I hope my readers enjoy too.
Day 13 #Weather
The Brits love talking about the weather and my novel is no exception because in Jewel of the sea, Mariah has weather maniuplation powers.
Day 23 #YourMCsHands
For some, I guess this might not have been a very exciting prompt but for Mariah it was another excuse to show offer her powers.
#FebWritersChallenge
I enjoyed January’s challenge so much that I am going to do it again!
@marielipscombwriting has created a new list of promps for this month.
