Go to the writers block. Pick a story, Draw something out of it.
Who cares what it is, a mock cover maybe. A character, a scene, a prop. Just doodle something.
So much tiny fiction snippets ripe for the taking. Threads in the writers block have word counts right in the title! JUST PICK SOMETHING AND ATTACK IT WITH DOODLES.
When you are done, Post art in the thread, Link the source story, and @the author of the story so they can see that they have been attacked and that we have conquered.
Please don't directly quote the story in this thread, Writers need to be able to pull down their stories for publishing purposes. Just link to it.
So ashamed was I at the lack of involvement that I took to my nearest materials... which unfortunately was my kids' felt tip pens. Me and digital, we don't mix too well.
I started on @Crimson King's piece The Quiet City here:
Which was going fine until I realised there was supposed to be no sun, so I made it dimmer, but then realised I'd still drawn shadows so fuck it, I messed up. Sorry!
I finally got around to do something for this. Here's my interpretation of a place and a character from @Quoth 's The Stolen Child
I experimented a bit with style.
