Weekly Challenge - Beauty in Unexpected Places

Howdy Literary Lemurs!

For this week’s challenge we’re asking you to find beauty in unexpected places. The dull, the mundane and even the disgusting are all potential sources of inspiration when given a chance and a bit of creative plying.

Perhaps the white mold on a dog turd has helped you understand metamorphosis better than a butterfly ever could.

Or maybe sea creatures making a home around the giant mass of garbage floating in the pacific has taught you there’s a silver lining to everything.

The challenge for our readers is:

Create a post about a book/piece of writing that manages to(or just tries to) find the beauty in unusual places. How well did it work? Have you been moved by something you previously didn’t believe could do so?

The challenge for our writers is:

Create a piece of writing that highlights the beauty to be found in unexpected places.

to use the hashtag #unexpectedbeauty so that we can see your posts. I can’t wait to see what you all come up with!
