Challenges

Imagine you are peering over the side of a boat, trying to make out something beneath the water… Is it a school of fish? Trash? Treasure? Render what you see, as skewed by the shimmer of the surface.

Write about someone spending a solitary afternoon gardening in their backyard. Does the act of weeding, planting, picking, or reaping represent something symbolically or hold significance for them personally?

Write a short story or rhyme meant to entertain small children, or perhaps even teach them a lesson. Turn it into a picture book by adding basic illustrations of pivotal moments, if you are artistically inclined.
