A couple of years ago I wrote in Yellow Pencils about using doors as a prompt to start a story. I took this photo in Stratford-upon-Avon, the English town where William Shakespeare was born and lived.
Do any story ideas spring to mind with this blue door? Who or what do you think lives behind it?
A door is an invitation to a new place where anything can happen. Doors exist in our real world, and they can play an important part in imaginary worlds.
Try using one of these lines as a first sentence to a story.
- The blue door creaked open slowly, and I gasped.
- My mom had warned me about the blue door.
- It's a well-known fact that blue doors can sing.
- When the blue door flew open, I fell through it flat on my face.
- He knocked on the blue door, ignoring the word "Beware" whispering in his head.
Enjoy creating your own world through this door!
