Split this 750 up into two parts: process writing for “Let it Snow” and a 3-2-1 for the Significant Event Article.
As you start with the process writing, please note that these questions are meant to serve as springboards for your thought, not jails. You can answer all of them if you want, but if you really get going on just one or two (or if those lead you to some thoughts about the story that are unrelated to these questions), that’s fine, too.
