She posts
a picture and you need to imagine it as a graphic for a book. You choose the
genre and book title, and then write a blurb that might appear on the back of
the book.
The
blurb should be 150 words or less (not including the title).
The
genre is wide-open.
Each
blogger should include their blurb on their own blog, and link back to this
post.
Have
fun with it. Go to the other posts and comment on the other blurbs.
You can
do fancy techy things with the photo.
(Join
in if you dare...! It sounds like fun! I think this would be a lot of fun to do
with students especially since they would be expected to write 150 words or
less!)
The Sock Brigade
Nelly was tired of everyone trying to
fix her up with the man of their dreams. Why couldn’t everyone just leave her alone!
She was content living with her sweet cat and knitting all day. She didn’t think she was getting past her
prime at the tender age of twenty-five but she was happy with her life. Finally,
she decided she would stop all these cupids by announcing that she would pick
her dream guy by his socks. They would need to be hand knit and striped with
bright colors. This would tell her a lot about the man wearing them. Imagine
her surprise when on the date of the decision, she found men lined up around
the block and all the way into town. They couldn’t wait to show off their
socks. Read more to find out who Nelly picked and why. (145 words)

Pat--Hand-knit socks... A woman who enjoys knitting... I wonder where those details came from? ;)
Thanks for playing along. You took it in a direction I had not thought of. A line of men, all wearing colorful, hand-knit socks. Very clever.
