Each week a photo is used, donated by one of the participants of Sunday Photo Fiction, and the idea is to write a story with the photo as a prompt in 200 words or less. Careful editing will keep your words within the confines of the 200 word limit. The photo doesn’t have to be centre stage, there have been times when I have had to read the story a few times to spot where the prompt is hidden. Please include a mention and / or link to whoever donated the photo.
The challenge makes you look at replacing two words with one, and a little jiggery pokery. A few words over is sometimes necessary when there is no way of shrinking it without losing an integral part of the story. Using a program like Microsoft Word or Open Office have a word counter so you can see how many you have used. A few of the stories have been going way over the limit. Please try to keep the stories within the 200 word limit.
Once you have written and posted your story, please add the link to the inlinkz froggy icon below and add it to the collection so we can all have a read.
Although I am hoping to be able to catch up with the stories soon, I am currently about a week behind. I do have a physiotherapist and occupational therapist who are helping me at the moment, so hoping that I can get back to it soon. Maybe even writing again at some point in the near future. Thank you for contributing though. Don’t stop as there are others who also like to read. I try not to miss any stories, but if it is a long way over the word count, I may well do so.
The main object is to have fun.

Please acknowledge the photographer if it isn’t mine when you post your story.
Thanks very much.
No worries about reading stories Al, just take care of yourself!

Hi, I was just wondering why my story hasn’t shown up here? It was my first attempt so maybe the ping back is not automatically accepted?

I’ll take a look. Did you add it into the InLinkz list as well?

Ahh I see what you ‘ve done. You’ve linked the previous week’s Sunday photo Fiction to it, so it has shown up, but on the 9th July one 🙂
It is in the InLinkz ones as well.

I had to take a long walk in 90F weather to get inspired to write a story about my own photo.

Sometimes we see too much of what we took in the photo to see anything else.
