Self-Starter: Select one of the suggested options below from Gail Carson Levine, and write for 15 minutes.
1. I have one green eye and one brown eye. The green eye sees truth, but the brown eye sees much, much more.
2. The ghost was eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
3. I am the most famous twelve-year-old [thirteen-year-old] in the United States.
4. Jason [or another name] had never felt so foolish before, and he hoped he'd never feel so foolish again.
5. It was a witchy house: the low-slung roof; that quiet gray paint; those squinting, shuttered windows; and the empty porch rocker that rocked, rocked, rocked day and night.
