I’ve been working on a fiction shared reader of fewer than 150 words. It has to be a journey, use a certain phonetic sound throughout, rhyme, and include the basic shapes. Whew! What a puzzle to work all that in. I turned in a draft yesterday (instead of an outline, because I couldn’t figure out how to outline something like this and be sure I could actually write it without just doing the writing!) to the editor. Fingers crossed their client likes it! If not, I’ll be circling back and starting over at the beginning of the process.
Poem Starter: Write a poem that includes circles in some way. Here’s a rhyming list poem I did.
Things That Come Full Circle
Arms
Bracelets
Crowns on kings
Earth
Cats
Underdog swings
