Lit Up With Green Flame: Story Ideas: Places

This week, we'll look at another writing activity. You can use this yourself, or it can be used as a classroom activity. This week's episode also includes the first chapter of my first book, 'Jack Reusen and the Fey Flame'. It's a chapter where setting is very important, and it should help show how strange and unusual places can help kick-start a story.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
