Welcome to A Thousand Words!

A pic­ture is said to be worth a thou­sand words!

So every Sun­day, a pho­to­graph, draw­ing, paint­ing or other work of art will be posted here in the hope that it will inspire writ­ers to draft fic­tion or non­fic­tion blog posts or arti­cles, short sto­ries, nov­els, poems, lim­er­icks, haiku or … Per­haps the prompt enhances, explains, illus­trates or oth­er­wise dove­tails with a post, even though the post itself is not tech­ni­cally about or devoted to the prompt. That’s great, too.

All visual prompts will be linked to their source and avail­able for you to post on your site, as well. Sim­ply hold your mouse pointer over the visual prompt and right-click. You will be able to both save a copy of the image and copy the source link so that you may pro­vide the cre­ator and owner with proper attribution.

The prompts will be pub­lished every Sun­day morn­ing, but par­tic­i­pants can post their work at any time dur­ing the week, uti­liz­ing Mr. Linky to advise other par­tic­i­pants and visitors.

Note:  There is no word limit or require­ment.  In other words, you need not write at least, a min­i­mum of or not more than 1,000 words.  The meme is derived from and inspired by the cliche — but not lim­ited by it!

It is my hope that this site will build a com­mu­nity of sup­port­ive writ­ers who will become friends and visit each oth­ers’ sites, engage in dis­cus­sion, offer con­struc­tive feed­back, and encour­age each other’s efforts.
