All the Fixin's 🌽
Next weekend is Thanksgiving in the United States! And while people have their own various traditions when it comes to marking the holiday, one thing remains fairly consistent: you get together with loved ones and you eat.
And in between mouthfuls, you talk! In fact, dinner conversation can be an excellent and overflowing source of writing inspiration — from family dynamics and long-observed dinner-time rituals, to new-comer partners meeting the family for the first time. A family dinner often follows traditional story structure: with a beginning, followed by rising action, peaking with a climax, and then wrapping up with a denouement.
This week, each of our prompts challenges you to write a short story involving a family dinner.
P.S – Know some kiddos who will be excited to do some reading over the holidays? Check out this list of the 35 best Thanksgiving books to read with kids.
