Writing prompts - by Cherie Lee

"Sky spit on me, Ma."

"Enjoy it," Alice MacNickel replied.

Questions:
 

What type of story or poem could come from those statements? Ask yourself questions like the ones below to get your writing started.

Who is Sky?
Where is this taking place?
Why did Alice say to enjoy it?
Are these real people or a way to say rain is coming?
What possible enjoyment could the speaker gain if someone really did spit on them?
Would that mean a special selection or a big prize being awarded soon?


Use this as an exercise to prompt your imagination as a writer, or as a starting point for a story.

Cherie Lee.
