Creative Writing Series 1: The Autumn Tree



So, because I'm in a writing funk I've decided to do a creative writing series in which I randomly choose a photo and describe it...creatively. Let's see how this goes...and if anyone wants to comment or give their own creative descriptions of the photo...please feel free to do so.

Okay...the autumn tree...hmmmm...

1) Fall reveals itself in the blazing passion of its fiery veil; bursting forth from its splayed bows, gnarled and twisted with the ages.

2) An enshrouding mantle, ablaze with the embers of the coming equinox; shadowing all beneath its sprawling limbs.

3) The Great Mother's hand, shaking off Her summer cloak to revel in the coming autumnal splendor.

Sounds haiku-ish! BTW, I'm almost through your six chapters...I've been slammed at work, but will give you some feedback soon. Which chapter are you on where this allusive murder scene occurs?

good idea. I've been in a long writing funk too... I'm taking a solitary quiet retreat next weekend for the sole purpose of meditation and writing... no email, tv, blogging, twitter, etc... I'm looking forward to it!

Crabby: I'm on chapter ten...the first of many murders throughout...

Nielle:I sooooo envy you. Three year olds just aren't good for solitary quiet time...ya know :-)I hope you have an amaizing retreat!
