What a child is asked afterwards

A scene I never photographed

What scene do you remember even without a photo?

Where people usually get stuck on this one

When you can't be honest

Write as if no one will read it. You can choose what to show after you finish.

When nothing comes to mind

Write down one thing that happened recently. It does not have to be a good story.

When you stall halfway

Explaining is what stalls you. Put down what you saw and what you heard instead.
