This year I have a personal goal to do more writing “play,” so I’m creating weekly prompts for myself and sharing online, in case you’d like to join me too. I hope you will! Teachers, you’re welcome to use these with your students. I’ll be posting these every week on my website, Instagram, Blue Sky, and Substack.

I love using a picture as a prompt, especially one that suggests a setting with hints of a character, but no actual character. It feels like an invitation to my imagination to fill in the blanks. Who lives in this little cabin in the woods? What are they like? Maybe the someone isn’t even human. Who might the character be then? What is something they wish for that’s difficult for them to have? Why is it difficult? If they made a plan to pursue this wish, what might that look like?
Let’s follow our imaginations and have some fun with this cabin in the woods. Join me?
You can find previous prompts and my responses here.
