...Re-write a well-known fable or fairy tale. (Cinderella, Hansel and Gretel, the Boy Who Cried Wolf, Goldilocks and the Three Bears all come to mind, but of course there are others.) Make it contemporary, of our time. Try to also update the moral of the story so that it speaks to current concerns. What if, for instance, Cinderella rejects the notion that, in order to achieve self-actualization, she needs to find a prince at all? Or what if the Boy Who Cried Wolf can't be heard in an attention-deficient world that is overloaded with media messages?
...Start a story thusly: "This is a story about love."
...Write a story with a happy ending.
Look for opportunities to use Balance and Series in your sentences. Also, feel free to use the sparks from yesterday and/or Monday.
