STORY
Waiting for the Sparkle
Now that Martin can write full sentences, he decides he wants to write an entire book. He gets his paper and pencil, and he sits down to begin; but he can't think of anything to write! Daddy sympathizes and encourages him to be patient. Sometimes the sparkle of an idea takes a while to arrive — but it always comes!

Storytelling Tip: The Hook
Today, notice your hooks. Notice when you are moved, irritated, inspired or impressed. Note the hooks and then see if you can use them later. Perhaps when telling your spouse about your day – or writing in your journal – or telling a story to your little one as she is falling asleep.
