I got nothing. I'm sure it will come to me eventually.

Got at least 700 words already. Enjoying the challenge of making it do what I want to do with it.

Getting closer to an idea...considering an epic poem. Not sure I have time to work in a structured format like that. If not, I'll just do the idea the normal way and go from there.
Also, other people should get back in on this...nudge nudge...

Z? Do you have the reviews for round 2? Not that it'll make a huge difference to my round 3 since I already posted it. Had a lot of fun writing it.

Meh. I don't mind about them not being on time :] I mostly forget to check here by the deadline anyways since I always post well before the deadline.
{Edit: I'm also using this less as a competition and more a prompt and excuse to stretch my fingers! The deadlines don't matter so much in that case.}

Thanks Z! You're the BEST! Your review was really insightful.
{Jones Lang} Lasalle is the company we rent our warehouse from ... Movte was me struggling to find the right name. I thought about Dorian but wanted something more earthy and perhaps a little Native American Indian type thingy. Glad you got the "Sky without clouds" - that bit was inspired by the picture. I enjoyed writing something lovey for a change but it didn't work with the world setting. I was trying to cram too much in and it just missed the mark. I wanted something that was at a complete juxtaposition: her love and the broken world. I think because I enjoyed writing it I didn't completely think about the content. It may have been a continuous stream of thought and stuff I'd like to add to the world. Oops!

I don't think it's necessarily more difficult to write about happiness. The problem with this picture for me was that I didn't really read it that way. My first thought when looking at the picture was "Where are her clothes?" No one walks down the rail of a track in the middle of nowhere wearing next to nothing unless they're in a photo shoot. So to me the picture wasn't really about happiness and an uplifting moment so much as the unrealistic portrayal of everyday things and situations in today's media. (In a way it reminded me of those pictures of people running through fields of long grass and wildflowers. I've had to walk through fields of tall grass on occasion and what those pictures don't show are the marshy conditions that lead to such wonderful tall grass, nor do they show the bugs hiding on each stalk.)
Anyway, because I didn't want to write about any of that stuff, I went another route.
But yeah, I hate the ending. It needs work.
I wish I had had time to the third prompt. I started an epic poem about a warrior and his shifting view on cairns and the permanence of the soul but I just ran out of time.

Cool beans. I'll try and work on it this weekend. I accidentally made it harder on myself by using a strict meter, word count, and internal rhyme.
