Christmas Immediate: Write Thriller About This Elf On A Shelf!
It's the time of year to write! Today's post is short but fun. Hope you enjoy this Christmas invitation!
If you've stood under a rock for the past 15 years, you'll meet the elf on the shelf
First, let's start with a quick explanation of the little toy I'm talking about in case you don't have children. (I don't know, but I have a lot of Facebook friends who do this. I think I have an overview of how it works.)
The elf on the shelf is an elf. It's on a shelf. I have it?
Actually, it's an elf who sits wherever you want. The basic idea is for the elf to sit around your house and spy on your kids. Every night the elf goes to report to Santa Claus and then flies back to settle in a new place in the house.
These elves are vicious and get caught up in all kinds of gimmicks. Parents move the elf, while their children dream of sugar plums and fairies, and they often pose in outrageous tableaus. (Personally, I loved that most of you quarantined your elves for two weeks this year. Well done parents.)
Now that you know the basics, let's go to the command prompt.
Prompt: The elf on the shelf really moved last night!
No, you don't just tell your children that. The elf was really moving. You totally forgot because you had too much eggnog.
But when you wake up in the morning, the elf went to the kitchen counter, turned the flour container and made “flour angels” everywhere.
It really looks like it moved on its own.
And you can't believe it
But you can write about it!

Prompt for Christmas: The elf on the shelf moved – but you didn't move it. Something is wrong here. . .
Bring a little magic to your vacation!
I'm not going to rehash the fact that 2020 was a tough year. (But seriously.) I hope this little prompt brings inventive fun and magic to your vacation. Cant wait to see what you can all come up with to explain the mysterious movement!
