By Melissa Stoller April 22 is Earth Day, a perfect time to reflect on how we can help care for our planet. And during this entire month, we can explore and find inspiration in every aspect of our world. Here are some tips to help celebrate Earth Day and find some story ideas along the way: Find a spot in your corner of the world and explore. Perhaps in the woods, on a city street, or on a rambling path to the beach. Notice details and incorporate sensory images in a story arc.
This month, enjoy our beautiful planet and gain inspiration from the wonder that surrounds us. Happy Earth Day! BIO:
