Close your eyes and imagine yourself on another planet or travelling through space (e.g. in a spaceship.) Write three things that you: See, I saw the earth behind me as my space ship was getting closer and closer away from it Hear, the loud noises of the space ship taking off from the earths surface. Smell, the warm air Write something happening in the first couple of lines in third person– something exciting is going to happening (elves getting up and disappearing, dancing) it does not have to be extreme, but it must get the story off with a hiss and a roar! Start in the middle of the story, ask the question, could I start further on in the story? Write long enough so that people want to read on, your main goal is to entice the reader to find out more.

24/10/08 The large round globe stayed still with no intention to move as the NASA space shuttle left earth! Linda could smell the hot stanching air as they got closer to the roaring sun. They knew it was impossible to land on the sun but Professor Bradford has always been fascinated to study the light of day. The team suddenly felt a mind blowing heat that made the outside of the space shuttle melt. The space shuttle was going to get thinner if they were to go in the same direction. SUDDENLY the back of the space shuttle blew up with no signal at all!!! Professor Bradford trying to steer the space shuttle unfortunatley pushed the explode button that made the rest of the space shuttle blow up into tiny little pieces.... it made the NASA team fly light years apart from each other!!! Linda woke in amazement, it was misty and damp. She found her self on another land, "some kind of planet", she thought. It had a pink misty sky and had damp air that made your eyes water.

Linda bent down to pick up a shiny rock that got her eyes attention, she suddenly heard a little voice say "That rock is very rare", Linda turned around and saw a tiny little green alien that was yellow shaded with three glowing eyes. "What do you mean", said Linda. "You have found a dried piece of the sun; it has formed into rock and is it rare', Linda suddenly remembered that Professor Bradford loved to study the sun. Linda Knew Professor Bradford would be very happy to have found this mysterious rock and had decided to keep it in memory of Professor. "Is there any way off this planet", said Linda. "Yes, but you must go by flight, I'll show the way". The little green creature walked Linda to the flight port and left her to fend for herself. Linda took the rock out of her pocket and glared at it for a long time and remembered what happened on the space shuttle and finding the rock on the planet. She got on the next flight back to earth and when she got back she immediately took the rock to the space centre so it could be studied. Every one was shocked to find out that not every one survived, but Linda knew she accomplished a lot.

In stories there are three “h’s” HANDS – always doing something with your hands HEAD – What they are thinking HEART – How they react to situations *Copy and paste your story underneath the first attempt (Use the rule off line in tools) and rewrite the same story with your character thinking or feeling something. “Oh no,” he thought. She was curious This is the end A shiver ran up his spine (don’t always need to tell the reader that they are scared). Remember that it’s important to have your character involved in action. ***Now is the time to write w** **hat is going to happen next? Copy and paste your beginning, leave a line and write "And then...". Look at the example below to see how to do it.**

Once upon a time there were three little pigs etc. And then...they were told to find somewhere else to live by their mum. And then...they went to the market, the first little pig bought some straw etc. And then... the first little pig made his house out of straw, the second little pig made his house out of sticks etc. And then a wolf came along a asked to be let in, the first little pig refused entry and the wolf blew his house in. And then the wolf went to the second little pigs house etc.


 * What is going to happen next?

And then…

Is this exciting? Is something more exciting happening? How is the story going to develop – all we have to do is ask “and then…” Focus on the main point of what is going to happen – write the main points so that you have an idea of where your story is going, don’t write in the dialogue etc.**

Hopefully you get the point! The most important thing is to make sure you write the main things that happen (leave all the flowery details out), what I don't want to see is - He fell down. And next...he got up. And next...he picked a flower. Think of a DVD and how it is split into scenes.


 * Next task is to decide what has happened to your character in order to change something, e.g. a characters thoughts and feelings can change. The characters have to change so the reader wants to get interested. Characters have lots of problems and things going on, e.g. brothers and sister relationships, school, mum and dad…The difference does not have to be great, even a subtle change is good.

What did your character think before?

What do they think afterwards?

Write a few points – what is going to be the major change to their thoughts, attitudes and feelings.

What sort of person was your character at the start of the story?

What sort of person is your character at the finish of the story?

What are the advantages of having you in the story? One is pretending writing about somebody- the writer is god. The character is a person who develops as**
