Remember: you must be self-starting, self-disciplining. Your grade also depends on the time you spend in class writing. Distracting your neighbor is not staying on task by writing.
1. The key is change. Be sure something is different at the end of your story from what it was at the beginning.
2. Be sure there is a real problem facing your main character-a problem that is really hard to solve.
3. Be sure your reader understands and is aware of your character’s feelings toward himself or herself; of other people; and how he/she feels about the story’s events.
4. Be sure the story has events, not just talking.
5. Whenever possible SHOW what happened, don’t just tell the reader.
6. Search until you find the exact word to describe what you really want.
7. Do not be afraid to REVISE.
8. DON’T BE AFRAID TO START ALL OVER.
9. Write for yourself. Do not write for your teacher, best friends, or the fads (trends), etc.
10. Have patience and take your time. Keep writing.
11. If you like to read a certain type of story, you can probably write in that style.
12. Be your own editor and critic before you give it to your peers to edit.
13. ENCOURAGE YOURSELF! AND OTHERS!

I encourge other children to start using their imagination and write a book about their life,a fruit or a thing it can be really fun.
