Have you ever written a story inspired by a picture (drawing/painting/photograph) or a song or a poem? Either with the picture or song or poem as the source canon or with it sparking something in another canon.

I haven't. I don't seem to have the right sort of imagination to take inspiration from a painting or photograph. Songs or poems might work for me, but I've never tried it. I do make playlists for working on longer fics, if that counts. I don't for shorter works because, by the time I know what the right feel is for the story, the story's done.

I have done a couple of stories inspired by a picture. Both were for challenges -- one was an art challenge where I had to choose the artwork and then write about it, another was where the picture was assigned and I had to write a story from the photograph. It was challenging but very rewarding.

A long work day. Not a lot of writing time on hand.

Picture prompts? I don't think I've ever succeeded at one. Not sure I've even really attempted one, honestly.
