Easy Street Prompts

Welcome to the 7th edition of the Easy Street Carnival of Writing and Art. When I began this project, my goal was to give readers a monthly opportunity to showcase their best work. That's still the goal. There are numerous blog carnivals out there that appear to function like a link exchange - that's not us. I'd rather consider this a monthly zine where artists and writers gain inspiration from each other.

I'm pleased with the variety of this month's submissions. Please check them out and comment on their posts, because it's no small thing to sling your heart-work out there for everyone to see. Enjoy!

Creative Nonfiction

Madeleine Begun Kane presents Romancing The Stoic (Humor Column) posted at Mad Kane's Humor Blog.

Zhu presents Challenge Your Beliefs | Correr Es Mi Destino posted at Correr Es Mi Destino, saying, "The more a country welcomes immigrants, the more local beliefs will be challenged, in one way or another. It seems pretty logical to me. Expose your culture to newcomers and even though they will eventually blend in, the original culture will be slightly transformed, little by little."

Today, I’m going to share a very different way to take a photo. I’m going show you how to literally paint with light on your camera’s sensor (or film if you’re still into that) to produce some truly unique images. (many, many photos included)"
