Writing Prompt: Little Woman
By Karna Converse
December 5, 2010
Each month, we post a writing prompt tied to the current month's essay.
Please email your responses of 500 words or less to lmreflections (at) literarymama (dot) com
with the words "writing prompt" in the subject line so that we know it's not an essay submission.
Submissions should be in the text of an email (please do not send attachments).
We will accept responses until the 15th of each month and offer our feedback
on each response privately before the end of the month. We hope you'll take
this opportunity to get inspired, share your work, and find community with other
writers! We'll post our favorites on our blog.
In this month's essay, Dana Cattani, reflects on her attempt to introduce the March sisters to her eight-year-old daughter.
"It is difficult to know which of the many experiences I offer--intentionally or not--will take hold in my children, will sink deep roots into their souls," she writes. "I hope that these roots will include stories: timeless stories to fire the imagination, stories to inspire courage or compassion, stories to unsettle and comfort and share. Over time, a good story can do all these and more."
Make a list of five books you want your children to experience. At what age, and how, will you introduce them? Is the list gender-neutral, or does it include some books specifically for your daughter and others for your son?
