writers every day. The Write-a-Book Literary Competition gives us an opportunity to be creative and to share our work with others in the school and in the County. We will do what you already do well--- and have fun doing it!

PRE-WRITING/PLANNING It is important to plan what you are going to

write so it will make sense to the reader. Remember that you are trying to communicate with others.

If you write a story, it should have a clear beginning, middle, and end.

Think about your characters and how each one would act in the story---what they will say, how they will feel, what actions they will take---that makes them different from all the others.

BRAINSTORMING/FREE WRITING

Some people start the writing process by justwriting down everything they are thinking without limiting their thoughts or

censoring themselves.They might make a list or just keep writing on a page. If they get stuck,they write, “I’m stuck, I’m stuck, I’m stuck”until they are not stuck any more.
