Writing Assignment & Other Goodies from Tumblr

I get some wonderful things on my tumblr site at jvdbooks.tumblr.com so I thought I'd share.  Maybe you can visit it sometime and enjoy the visual presentation.
First, here is a connection to the research done on writer's block.  Goto 1) & 2) below.  It's interesting for me with my background, so don't feel obliged to read it all if it doesn't interest you.

Perhaps the greatest psychology research paper ever published and perhaps the greatest follow-up research paper ever published.
On the "Unsuccessful Treatment of Writer's Block"...
(1 and 2)

Second, here is a visual prompt and challenge for a writing exercise.  Send it in or enjoy it yourself.  I would appreciate it if you'd leave a comment if you feel you got something out of it.



Writer’s Block
A picture says a thousand words. Write them.

Mission: Write a story, a description, a poem, a metaphor, a commentary, or a critique about this picture. Write something about this picture.
Be sure to tag writeworld in your block!

The picture is called The Oracle.  Now, write something wonderful, click on writeworld (under the picture to the left), go to image blocks at the left, then at the top where is says all the images click image blocks again, read about it and decide if you want to submit it.  You might want to follow this blog for regular writing prompts since they have a cut off for entry.  Check each out and have fun.
