2020 365: Day 214 (August 1)
The prompt today is “Treasure.”
An old treasure…well, I remember using one of these when I was young. Scary…
30 Day of Composition. August 1: Viewpoint
Today begins a new photography challenge from the Emma David Camera Club. August is all about the 30 Days of Composition.
Every day is a new theme, but I am also challenging myself with an overall theme for the month, Around the House (and Yard), and some weekly sub-themes, this week’s being Black and White.
So, today the theme is Viewpoint “adult head height is not the only place to take a photograph from. Where can you put your camera and how can you angle it, to create a more interesting image?”
2020 Daily Writing Challenge: August 1
And now, from Jo Hawk, the 2020 Daily Writing Challenge, for August 1!
For my writing challenge, I am going to be working with daily prompts from the book “The Daily Writer: 365 Meditations to Cultivate a Productive and Meaningful Writing Life.”
So, today is: Uses of Allegory – Compose an allegory, keeping in mind that each of your characters represents an abstract trait. Give your main character a goal she struggles against powerful obstacles to attain.
Hmmm…I’m not really good at this writing prompt thing, but this is why I’m doing this challenge. I’ll probably keep it short for the first few and see how I do.
My allegory is a story of Ms. Mask and her fight against the nefarious triplets Complacency, Denial, and Hoax. The divine Ms. M. dutifully protects others when she goes to the Den of Foodsuffs, or to the Place of Disease Fixing, or anyplace Hoards of People might hangout. Listening diligently to Science Guru and to Doctor Pandemic Expert, she continues persistently even in the face of Mr. Ignore the Problem and Mrs. No One Can Tell Me What To Do.
I think I have to work on this… Anyway, that’s what I got for today! Stay tuned for tomorrow’s adventure.
