English teachers use many different strategies to get their students stimulated to write. One of those strategies involves the use of “prompts”. While developing some cartoon content for another of my blogs, Comics Cartoons and Creativity, I thought it might be of interest to all you writers and others interested in the writing process.
So here ’tis with some modification to keep the dup inspectors at bay. I present to you for your enjoyment, “President Obama and his singing critics The Fence Critters. (Preceded by a brief introduction to The Fence Critters for your edification and understanding of the cartoon.)

Our four good friends had the unusual oppoutunity to observe our President-Elect
in one of his more relaxed moments. See if this experience prompts any ideas for
your writing. At the least, this is an example of repurposing one’s content - in this
case a cartoon. Just change the commentary to fit the new context, topic and
keywords and you can be all set. Have a look and tell me what you think with a
comment.

President-Elect Obama singing a song of leadership.

Well … what thoughts or memories, if any, did this little writing prompt demonstration stimulate for you?
