Write The Book: Conversations on Craft
Arts:Books
Guest host Kim MacQueen interviews Karol Jackowski,
author of Sister Karol's Book of Spells, Blessings & Folk Magic (Weiser Books).
This week's Write the Book Prompt is to try your hand at writing a spell. Some of the spells in Sister Karol's book include Spell To Become a Peacemaker, Get Well Spell, Good Luck Spell, Anxiety Gone Spell, Thanksgiving Spells and Blessings. If you were to write a spell, what would it be for? Think about how you would go about it. Think about what would be important as a message for that theme. Make it something interesting, but also fun, and see what you come up with.
Good luck with your work in the coming week, and tune in next week for another prompt or suggestion.
