I have a daughter,Heather McFadden, who is a really cool writer and who has been challenging herself to do writing exercises on her blog.
I decided to come up with my own version of a writing challenge by coming up with prompts for myself that are geared to writing for children. I’m going to do this every other day and keep writing about writing in between. My goal is to have something new on my blog every day. We’ll see how it goes.
If you’d like to use my writing prompts, too, please do. I’d love to see what you come up with.
Today, I wrote about setting as character.
Tomorrow, let’s see, I believe tomorrow I will write about a terrible birthday party. See you there!

Yay for family shout-outs!
Hey, I need a name for my writing challenge. I’ll make up a catchy name for yours if you’ll make up one for mine?
Love you!
Yay back atcha. I can’t think of a catchy name for either of us. Sorry, kid, you’re on your own.
