005. Include this sentence in a short story: "I knew I must be dreaming, because Dad never ate lima beans!"
004. Write a scene set in the 1800s in which two teenaged daughters of wealthy people are preparing for their first ball. Are they excited, or nervous? Who will be at the ball? Who do they hope to dance with? What are they wearing?
003. Writie a poem about a piece of blue yarn. Who does it belong to? Why is it lost? Does it symbolize something?
002. Describe a scene between yourself and a long-lost sibling. How did you find out about him/her? Is he/she similar to you? Do you "click" right away? Why didn't you find out about him/her earlier?
001. You're in the middle of a breezy meadow. What are you doing there? Are you alone? What does it look like? What's happening? How does it feel?
