Revisit. Recycle. Be Amused






















Re-visit three stories or myths.  Try re-reading GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE BEARS, CINDERELLA, or THE WIZARD OF OZ.  Take a look at the Persephone myth, the story of Icarus or  Shakespeare's  ROMEO AND JULIET.

Read to discover another viewpoint character.  What if you told the story from Mama Bear's perspective? A step-sister had a secret desire to become a secret agent. What if Toto ran away and joined the circus?

Do the same creative musing for your chosen stories or myths.

Write a sequel from the different point of view.  Add humor to change the mood of the story.

Reading inspires ways to revisit, recycle, and amuse yourself with ideas from literature. During a freewrite, discover inspiration for a story or poem.
