Saturday Storm

The Saturday Storm is moving in!  Your method of defense:  A pencil and paper!  To calm the storm, you must write!  That’s right- let the rain pour down from your mind!  You can use my prompt or something you are already working on. 

In honor of our first Saturday Storm, and one of my own favorite manuscripts, our prompt today is:  STORMS! 

Task #1- Write about an experience you’ve had with a storm or rain.  It might be a frightening, stressful, fun, embarrassing, or surprising experience.   Complete this task before moving to Task #2.

Task #2- (Fiction Writers)  How can you make your experience into a fictional story?  The Saturday Storm is kicking up a tornado to mix it all up!  What interesting characters or elements can you mix into your experience?  What zany, wacky, unexpected-kick can you add?

Task #2- (Non-Fiction/Faction Writers)  With so many storms that have rocked our world, surely there are unique elements that can be retold.  Survivors of storms have stories to tell.  Good luck being a storm story chaser!

Tornadoes are unpredictable…the direction of your story has endless possibilities.  I know you’ll come out with a winner. Let’s take this prompt by storm!

    As a children’s writer, and a teacher, my goal is to help you carry on.  Sometimes learning is challenging, so why go it alone?  Your journey will be more meaningful and comfortable with friends to share it with. Together, we'll get up close and personal with authors, illustrators, and the best of picture books.  If we work together, great things will follow!
