Explore themes connected to the new season. Make a list of words and images that you associate with spring: eg new life, buds, eggs, swallows, renewal... how many more can you think of?
When you've finished your list, circle the ones that stand out to you. Then take one as a starting point and begin a new piece of writing in any style or form.
This week, begin a piece of writing with a library setting.
What kind of story could only take place in a library, and what would the library setting contribute?
Who is in the library, and why?
Where in the library could your story begin - in which section?
What particular things could happen in a library? What would the library setting contribute? A hunt for hidden knowledge? Discovery of a life-changing book? Meeting with a fellow bibliophile?
Will you write in the past, present or future? Will your story be grounded in reality? Have supernatural elements? Be aimed at adults or children?
Write a story which includes three of the following:
A car park
An old tea pot
A bus station
A theatre/cinema
A velvet coat/jacket
A wheatfield
A box of old tools
A tree house/shepherd's hut
A piece of costume jewellery
A theatre programme
An old photograph
A book
A postcard
A powder compact
A hat
