Winter Inspiration

December Six Word Photo Story Challenge: “Snow & White”

Build something new from snow. Now.

When did you last build an igloo?

Or a snowman? You can’t remember? Why? Why do you think that is something for children? Why should only children be allowed to have fun and experience joy?

When it snows the next time, just get dressed, put your gloves on, and create something new from snow. Be it a tiny snowman or an igloo the size of a car. Let your creativity out.

The above igloo has been built by two 25-year-olds. And I’m telling you, we had lots of fun. Even more the next day, when we saw it had snowed overnight and our igloo got an extra layer of snow on top.

Thank you Mary Chang for this fun writing prompt and the Six-Word Photo Story Challenge publication.
