Part Three of a three-part series of writing prompts inspired by Susan Bono’s Jumpstart Writing Workshop<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A rewarding aspect of writing\u00a0is when writers\u00a0create scenarios that offer illumination for\u00a0 readers . . . that\u00a0 “aha moment.”<\/p>\n

Tiny snow droplets slide into the snowflake<\/p>\n

as it falls to the ground. if you listen, really closely,<\/p>\n

you can hear the sun crunching together.<\/p>\n

The weather is stormy\u2014a snowstorm<\/p>\n

with little snowflakes inside the big snowflake.<\/p>\n

A girl lives in the snowflake, with golden hair in pretty braids<\/p>\n

with a ribbon on the bottom.<\/p>\n

At midnight she watches the snow fall outside the snowflake,<\/p>\n

and the icicles drip. the next day she goes out<\/p>\n

on the frozen lake and ice skates.<\/p>\n

Sparks of ice fly up behind her.<\/p>\n

By Emily Osborn, Grade 3, Poetry In The Schools<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I love this fun and creative\u00a0perspective, “. . . little snowflakes inside the big snowflake.”<\/p>\n

Our unique ways of seeing things and capturing our thoughts in the written word can inspire readers, “Oh, I never thought of it like that.”<\/p>\n

But how do writers access those sparks of creativity? Just Write. Be \u00a0yourself. When you sit down to write, shed your inner critic, get in touch with your child-like world of discovery.<\/p>\n
