Hi, Kids,

Have you been thinking about places or things that give you ideas for stories? When I try to decide where the best place to find stories, I keep thinking of more and more places. Abandoned buildings, forests, thickets, under a bed, inside a hole in my desk, and in the cracks in cement.

Here’s a fun exercise if you want to try it. Find a crack in a sidewalk and draw a small circle including a piece of the crack. Then make-up a story about what is happening in the tiny town inside the circle. Have fun.
