Use THIS Fall Trend to Make Writing Fun ๐

How's it going, Reader?
Can you believe it's already October!? It feels like the first day of school was just a few weeks ago.
With the crisp mornings and changing leaves, I've been enjoying a few Pumpkin Spice Lattes. And, while it might be "fake fall" here in the south, one thing that isn't fake is my excitement for making writing fun!
Student engagement is dependent on how much the content can relate to them. This time of year, all I hear in the hallways is "pumpkin spice this" and "fall vibes" that.
So, I used that as my inspiration for this IG post: How to Write Pumpkin Spice Stories
I hope you'll give Pumpkin Spice writing a try!
