Writing Prompt: Winter Tree

Stimulate your imagination and flex your writing muscles with a writing prompt! Take a minute to observe the contents of the picture below. When you're done, write a story fragment of 200 to 300 words.


Trees know the true meaning of patience. Or do they?

Observe the tree in the picture and identify any human traits this tree would have based on its situation. You can tackle this writing prompt in one of two ways:

• Create a monologue for the tree. The monologue would describe a major event that recently happened to the tree. End the monologue with an epiphany.
• Quick! Imagine someone or something approaching the tree! That someone or something and the tree begin a conversation. What would they talk about?

Whatever you write as a result of this writing activity might lead to your next great story! Have fun writing!
