Writing Prompt: Pictures Speak

By Katie Chapman

Pictures speak a thousand words. Open a notebook and write for 10 minutes. Don’t worry about grammar or punctuation – just write.

In this photo, the little girl is trying to blow up a balloon. As you can see, the job is proving difficult. Why do you think she’s trying to blow the balloon up alone, and what event is she getting ready for? Write about what might happen after this moment and what you might say to her if you were her friend.
