My first thought when looking at the photo prompt was that this photo had to have been in Taylor's mood board while writing Folklore and I should try my hand at witchy horror. My next thought was that I've never written horror, I typically don't read horror, and I don't have a strong desire to write horror. What a conundrum.
So instead I continued thinking. And while I did that thinking, I happened to be on a romantic hiking trip (read: sweaty uphill battle with some rock stairs) with my husband to celebrate our ninth wedding anniversary. Awww so cute. Anyway, I've had a romcom on the back burner for NaNoWriMo this year, so I thought this might be the perfect opportunity to test the water if you will. Nothing too explicit, but the story started to naturally take shape as we continued hiking and I continued whining.
Here's a link to my blog post with photos of my inspiration and more details on what I came up with:
