MIND MAPPING FOR WRITERS
Hey My Beautiful Misfits 📚
I decided to show you what a Mind Map looks like 😉, This is from a Short Story I'm working on for children 😁....
Mind mapping in my opinion is a great way to figure out visually how you want everyone to fit into your story. Now you also can use sticky notes 🤣 because yeah then you can move your thoughts 💭 around to help you figure out what's next!!!
I learned this technique from a writer's ✍🏾 workshop I attended awhile back...
As always I'm just trying to jump start your 🧠 brain... Let's Create magic ✨✨ with our wildest imagination.

THE LEGEND OF THE WHITE HARE
In some parts of Britain it used to be said by the cunning folk that when a pure maiden who had loved a man with all her heart and soul is forsaken or is betrayed by him, then her spirit returns in the form of a white hare to haunt that man bringing him misery and death.
The ghostly hare follows the deceiver wherever he goes. The white hare is said to be visible to the deceiver and usually invisible to almost everyone else. In some cases the white hare saves him from danger from others so that it can continue to heap misery upon him for its own ends. Invariably the ghostly hare finally causes his death at a time and place to satisfy its own desire for vengeance.
There are many variations of the tale presented below and in this one the story tells how a rich landowner engaged a young man to manage a very large prominent farm he owned. The young man came from a middle class family who were eager to improve their standing in the local community and they desperately wanted him to succeed so they could be seen to move up the social scale.
