Here in Michigan, parts of the state experienced their first snowfall this past weekend. For some, it was enough to bundle up the kids and build snowmen. For others, it was just a scum of frost on the windshield. And still others may not have seen a single flake. Weather—always great food for creative fodder, isn’t it?
With the winter solstice just around the corner, what better inspiration for this week’s prompt than the idea of the first snow—or maybe the absence of it?
❄️ First Snow: A Spark for Creative Wonder
The first snow has fallen. Maybe it melted by morning, maybe it dusted the trees just long enough to make you pause—but that fleeting moment when the world turns white carries a quiet kind of magic.
What does it mean to you?
For some, it’s the signal to dig out a beloved family recipe—perhaps your grandmother’s hot chocolate, now reimagined with cold foam and a dash of cinnamon. Could you write a poem about the memory? Or a story imagining her reaction to your modern twist?
Maybe the first snow takes you back to a childhood snow day—the one that saved you from a forgotten homework assignment and gave you time to study, finish, and play. What would it look like to capture that reprieve in fiction?
Or perhaps you imagine a world where snow falls only once a year. What kind of magic would that be? Would people bottle it, sell it, celebrate it? Could you write a speculative piece about a single day of winter wonderland?
Try a lyric essay about crafting snow castles and ice sculptures from the first flakes. Or challenge yourself visually: create a snow scene using colored pencils—but not white. Can you layer and shade until the essence of snow emerges anyway?
These are just a few ways to let the season’s first snow inspire your next creative work—whether it’s fiction, poetry, nonfiction, visual art, or something in between.

As July winds down, we’re gearing up for our next Friday Inspiration Prompt and Where to Submit Roundup—arriving August 1st. Time flies, doesn’t it? Even when it’s not all sunshine and creativity.
Aside from doing the normal routines, NewPages has been kicking around some innovations for our Bookstore Guide. These indie bookstores are hubs of inspiration and community. Check out our guide to find one near you—you might discover a cozy spot to work, read, and connect with kindred spirits. Who knows? They might just become part of your chosen family.
Inspiration Prompt: The Family We Choose
Family isn’t always inherited. Sometimes, it’s built—through love, loyalty, and the quiet decision to show up when no one had to.
Think about the people who stepped in, stood by, or shaped your life in unexpected ways. Maybe it was a step-parent, a mentor, a friend who became a sibling, or a partner who helped you feel seen. Maybe it’s a community that redefined what home means.
This week, write about the people who became family by choice.
