25 Words for November 2009

Here's a writing exercise that I like from my Brown Bag group. It's called "Twenty-five Words." The object is to try to write a children's short story or picture book using as many of the twenty-five words (or short phrases) as possible. This is also a timed prompt, so set your timer for 20 or 30 minutes and then begin.

Here are the words for November:

Grumbly pig
Whisper
