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 roaring lava plannet with white hot patches, then a old rusted platform appeared came up from the centre we landed there. Hear I heared crying rampagous beast that was a wail more than a cry Smell I smelt burning multen rock 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. __13/10/08__The ear-pearcing cry stumbled trevor,he never knew what say or do the dumb one he was.The other three was looking straight at a death-trap he screamed "its only a few hundred miles away its going at light speed" the radar showed clear it is much larger than the ship theres no time now it had hit the ship voyager 3000

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**
