I'm teaching summer writing camps over the next two weeks--for ages 8 to 11 and ages 12 to 14. Super fun! I'm inspired by every single writer who walks through the door. Anyone who spends part of their summer vacation at a writing workshop is my kind of person!
A lot of the young writers have story ideas, but some are looking for a prompt to get them going. For those writers I have "Magic Pen Story Starters."
Over the next couple of weeks, I'll give you a sample.
Write a story about:
- an elephant that wants to win a skateboard competition
- a boy who wants to be the broccoli-eating champ in his school
- a tree that wants to live in the desert
- a girl who wants to work in a shoelace factory
Write a story with one of these titles:
- "Goldilocks Moves to Hollywood"
- "The Barnyard Blog"
- "The Big Yellow Sky Falls Down"
- "The Diary of a Paper Clip"
Maybe you'll be inspired by one of the "Magic Pen Story Starters." If so, get out your pen--magic or otherwise--and start writing!
