How do you start a good kids novel story?
Well, I'm trying to start a great tween/kids novel story just for fun and I don't know how to start it. I'm being imaginative as possible but I can't think of something GREAT! Please give some good sentence starters and maybe some story plot suggestions.
One way to start writing a good story is to look through magazines/catalogues etc and find some pictures of people,places, things, scenes etc. Cut them out and glue them on a large sheets of paper. Label one "Characters" another "places" another "things" As you find pictures you will eventually begin thinking about the people you have chosen. you will probably have to get rid of some - but it will be a good place to start. As you think of ideas for a "story line" you might think about things that could happen in the scenes you have chosen for inspiration. The best stories are usually stories that you know already. Stories that are "loosely" based on something that has really happened usually make interesting reading because it is unique and you can talk about it. For example, use your crazy uncle as a character - or your sweet grandma - Don't worry too much about "sentence starters" just start writing. You can go back later and fix it up to make it better. Good luck writing your story. Most authors who write - do it because they love to. Nobody every starts writing thinking, "I'm going to make a million dollars" - Just look at JK Rowling. She used to write on napkins - when she ran out of paper. Good luck!
