Thoughts on “The Seven Ravens” | A Grimm Project
https://grimmproject.wordpress.com/2014/11/09/thoughts-on-the-seven-ravens
242 fairy tales, 242 writing prompts. Thoughts on “The Seven Ravens”. Another tale in the “brothers turned into birds” fairy tale sub-genre, “The Seven Ravens” is notable for its whimsical and frightening imagery, and the fact that it’s a rashly uttered curse, rather than a witch or a powerful wish, that turns the seven brothers in the tale into ravens. Read my freewrite response to this tale here. And read the Grimms’ original, translated by D. L. Ashliman, here. Illustration by Felix Hoffman. 026 Littl...

https://sartorialscholars.wordpress.com/2016/04/25/foxy-lady-on-menswearmonday
OOTD: Foxy Lady on #MenswearMonday. It’s the last week of classes! And I am so tired! And there is so much grading! And I have no time for laundry! This all meant this was a great chance to find something kinda clean and not too wrinkled (that’s my goal for the rest of this week). Last week for #WhateverWednesday, I wore my wolf dress.

Thoughts on “Hansel and Gretel” | A Grimm Project
https://grimmproject.wordpress.com/2014/03/01/thoughts-on-hansel-and-gretel/comment-page-1
242 fairy tales, 242 writing prompts. Thoughts on “Hansel and Gretel”. So where to start? With the pitiless, desperate mother who convinces the children’s father to take them into the woods and leave them there? With the plaintive but hopeful figure of Hansel turning back to drop markers on the path, claiming that his little white cat is saying goodbye to him from the rooftop of the house? And so the writing of a 10-minute freewrite seems next to impossible. Favorite lines from the Zipes translation:.

Thoughts on “The Riddle” | A Grimm Project
https://grimmproject.wordpress.com/2014/08/24/thoughts-on-the-riddle
242 fairy tales, 242 writing prompts. Thoughts on “The Riddle”. The cruelest women in fairy tales, if you were to ask the Grimms, are not the witches, but the women who slay innocent men in order to avoid marriage.

They are the Grimms’ versions of bra-burners, proto-feminazis. And I love them. Thoughts On the Tales. Laquo; Pre...
