Sandbox fiction writing…a short scene on a beach.
The dog suddenly stopped the insanity of running to and from the water. What was it accomplishing, the boy wondered. Was it playing a game with the waves? Was it looking for food? Mad or crazy? The boy could no longer stand the biting flies in the sand dune where he hid from the dog by sight, but not by scent. The dog knew he was there and sought to entice him out. But for what purpose?
This is a great quick write writing strategy. Writing a scene versus a story is far less daunting. (How did you learn of Sandbox Fiction Writing?) Is this a photo you took? I love the dog!!! Heidi C. (Book Dragon)
What a beautiful dog! (I love German Shepherds—so regal, even with their tongues out.) Is that a photo you took? Gotta say, the scene looks a lot like one I get to feast on here at the Oregon Coast. I love the view into the dog's mind. I've written about mine (insanity definitely fits her) and might just try it again, thanks to your inspiration. (Also thanks for identifying yourself as a newcomer to the Challenge.) Welcome!
