Thrusday Prompt: Holiday Shenanigans

It's that day again on JLBCP Blog where we spark some creative thinking. :) Let's have some fun and get into some Holiday Shenanigains with this prompt. Choose one of these  prompts and let your imagination fly.

Write a flash fiction or short story about: 

Two of Santa's reindeer and how they got on the naughty list this year. 

Going to the Griswald's holiday party. (National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is a great way to get to know the Griswalds if you're not familiar.) 

A holiday dinner where everything goes haywire. 

Don't forget to stop by our website JLBCreatives.com to discover great reads and something special to stuff those stockings with! 

WEDNESDAY FEATURE "Spark Your Creativity"

#Beach #Ocean #Caribbean

This week's photo takes us to Disney's Castaway Cay

Janet has titled this photo, "Just Me and You"

Happy Creating!

On Wednesdays we're posting a photo taken by our CEO, author Janet Beasley to help inspire authors, painters, musicians, and other awesome artists. We've titled the new feature, "Spark Your Creativity." How did we come up with this? Read on...

When Janet isn't hard at work in the literary world, you'll find her and her husband kayaking the crystal clear, spring fed rivers of Florida. Janet's second passion next to writing is photographing nature as they glide through the serene settings these rivers have to offer. She and her husband also enjoy traveling the US, so you'll also be seeing some of Janet's

photos taken from hikes and journeys she and her husband have done nationwide. She has used her photos time and again for her own inspiration when it comes to many of her stories, and decided she would like to share the same inspiration with the literary and arts world.

And not to worry if you're not inspired this week, come back each Wednesday to catch a glimpse of what could "spark" your next amazing piece of work. And if you don't want to wait until next Wednesday, we'd like to invite you to visit our JLB Creatives Photo Gallery on Flickr where the photos are always free to download and use as book covers, business cards, wallpaper, etc. All we ask is that you give credit where credit is due - perhaps by something as simple as adding a credit link to the JLB Creatives/Janet Beasley Flickr site in your book or on your presentation. 

We hope you enjoy our new Wednesday feature, "Spark Your Creativity." And we want to let you know, if a photo inspires you to write a story that you would like to have considered for publication by JLB Creatives Publishing, be sure to visit our website at http://www.JLBCreatives.com where you'll find our company's history, be introduced to the publishing team, discover our Submission Guidelines, and may submit your work for consideration.

Enjoy!
