open invitation no. 23: a series of three

Posted byRuth AyresPosted incraft

Three is magical.

When you write in a series of three, magic is stirred. It is true. It is lyrical. It is bold. You can use a series of three by repeating sentences, phrases or words. It can add structure, cadence and meaning to your writing. I do it all the time, and I lovelovelove it.

Give it a try — a series of three — although you may want to think of it as The Magic of Three*.

*Early in my career, I heard someone refer to a series of three as “The Magic of Three,” I do wish I remembered who so I could give proper credit.

Unhurried. Finding the magic in the middle of living. Capturing a life of ridiculous grace + raw stories.

    1. Great post, Tammy. It’s good to remember to be present and watch kids. I am back teaching in person, but many of the kids seem to be hiding behind their masks. I wonder how deep this is going to affect them.

    1. What a lovely piece! I wish my 4th graders could blog with your 4th graders. I’m teaching a study skills class this year to help teachers have a bit of a break. I’m so glad to be back in the classroom again! SHSHSH! don’t tell anyone!

    1. Ditto that! I created a list of kindness quotes for the students to reflect on each week. We post the quote on the lobby bullein board. I hope kindness and grace begins to permeate everyone!

    1. Oh Julie! This came just in time for me! I always pray in my head. This week I start to pray out loud and I found myself not knowing what to say. I was suddenly embarrassed. Thank you for the book suggestion. You are in my prayers. I hope the whole SOS group could have a reunion of sorts some day.
