Week 2 of the Mix and Match challenge was the hardest for me: write a story with cumulative structure. (You know--'The House that Jack Built' or 'There was an old lady who swallowed a fly...') Check out Susanna L. Hill's post for all the details of the Week 2 Challenge, and read through the other entries in the comments. Here's my entry and illustration! The Hungriest Python The hungriest python turned into a boat
to capture some lunch down his long winding throat. I hope he’ll float! He called to a bee, “Come sailing with me! There’s a valley of flowers across the wide sea.” He swallowed the bee down his long winding throat. I hope he’ll float! --------end excerpt-----------

Starting in May, I participated in a seven-week writing challenge hosted by Susanna Leonard Hill, author of many picture books such as Moon's First Friends and Can't Sleep Without Sheep. Each week, she posted a selection of writing prompts and challenged writers to craft a 100-word story. Those who completed all seven weeks were entered into a prize drawing. I managed to complete all seven weeks' prompts, and won a set of story brainstorming cards in the process. Since I also have a new iPad and am learning to use Procreate for illustrations, I thought I'd start my own personal challenge: Make an illustration for each of my seven entries, and post them here! Week One: Character Needs. We were given several characters, a list of needs, and a list of random objects to work into our stories. (I chose 'Henry' 'hug' and 'hockey stick'.) Here's a snippet, and the illustration I created! Henry Needs Some Luck
