We’re going to create a work of fiction this week for Frugal Date Friday! Bring your best ideas and get ready to get a story – together.
Head to a local park or coffee shop to get started. Come up with a plot, characters, and write something great.
You can write a short story, first chapter of a novel, or a children’s book. If you opt for the children’s book, be sure to illustrate it!
If you experience writer’s block, be sure to ask anyone around for help and ideas! You book can be anything you want. It can be funny, serious, a mystery, or you can tell the story of how you and your husband met!
Another Option: Write down stories from your childhoods to share with your kids and grand kids!
