One Story, Two Ways

Brooklyn brownstone lamppost (Diana F+, Kodak 400VC-3)

I like to think that every lamppost has a story. This one has a warm, brown vibe here, but the same image also has a blue, melancholy side, too. (same photo negative + same scanner + same settings = totally different story.) (I don't really know why.) (Hmm...what would it look like to try the same idea in your writing? Write one story with two different emotions....)

Don't forget: Ask me a writing question by the end of July to be entered to win a copy of Lanterns: A Gathering of Stories. Email questions to jennifer{at}thewordcellar{dot}com or leave them in the comments here or on any of these blog posts about writing. (There will be a new writing post up this Wednesday.)

If you'll be at BlogHer next month, be sure to let me know so we can meet and greet one another in proper bloggy style. (Which consists mostly of giggling and maybe hugging and chatting about anything and everything.) Let me know now what you'd like me to cover in my BlogHer Writing Lab session, "How to Use Your Blogging to Make You a Better Writer."
