This is something I started for myself, hoping that it would get me motivated to practice my writing skills. So just as an idea I'm throwing it open to everyone else, if you care to participate that's great if not that's still ok.If you want to take part then the way of working it, I would suggest, would be for everyone to take a copy of the pictures that I post here and then write their 500 words or more fiction on their own blog, then post the link to that entry back here in the comment section for everyone else to see, visit and hopefully comment on your creative writing. Much as is being done for countless other groups in blogger, multiply and elsewhere.
A new image will go up every week on a Saturday and the following Saturday will be the deadline for the writing on that image. You're welcome to copy the button and post it on your blog too if you wish. The link to go with the button is http://jacbookishly.blogspot.com/search/label/Calliope%20Ex
Previous weeks pictures will be posted to one of my side bars and linked back to the deadline blog for that picture. Any suggestions for images would be greatly appreciated.
So here's this week's picture.

I have never ever done anything like this, but it sounded like fun, so I put something together. I'm going to post it in a minute. I'm not a writer so I hope people will be nice :-)

I realized after I saw your comment on MY blog that I forgot to leave the link to my story on YOUR blog. Whoops. It was super late last night, and I can't believe I was able to put two words together coherently. :D
