I love to write! Ever since I was a five-year-old girl, I wrote stories in my notebooks and on small pieces of paper. I
told stories to my friends. As a grown-up, I have written over 100 books! That’s a lot! As a teacher, it’s my goal to encourage all of my students to love to write.
Writing is easy if you’re careful enough, I told them. Everyone I meet is a possible character.
Everything I see or do is a possible scene in a book. Start looking around you. You’ll be amazed at what you discover.
Anyone can be a writer. You just put your pencil on your paper and writ
e what you like to read, step by step:
● Create great characters. If you know your characters well, they’ll write the story for you.
● Interest the reader right at the beginning. You can start your stories with dialogue or action. If you can make the reader ask questions, then he has to keep reading to find out the answers.
● Follow the steps. The steps for every story are almost the same: Introduce the characters and the conflict(爭端);things get worse; all seems lost; the hero saves the day!
● Balance is the key.
Remember, when writing, it doesn’t hurt to add some humor(幽默).
