Story writing time!
Last week you will have planned your extended story, and this week you will be writing it. A guide for what to include in each chapter is below:
| Day | Chapter Details |
| Monday | The main character finds a magical portal and enters a new world. |
| Tuesday | Describe the new world. |
| Wednesday | Main character explores the new world and encounters a problem. |
| Thursday | Main character has to escape and return through the portal. |
| Friday | Back in the real world, the main character cannot find the portal again (perhaps they have brought something back with them to prove it was real). |
This is just a guide - feel free to tweak the main structure to make it work for YOUR story.
You can write a good story by:
- describing settings in detail using interesting adjectives, figurative language and senses
- build tension and suspense, including by using cliffhangers
- making your main character interesting for the reader - you want the reader to care about them
- using a minimal amount of speech, and if you do use it, use it to keep the story moving or show the reader more about a character
- SHOW the reader, don't tell them
I have written my own story, and I will post one chapter each day as a bit of inspiration (hopefully). You will see that I haven't stuck exactly to the structure above, but tweaked it so it worked for what I wanted to write. You will find it below.
You can either send me your chapters daily, or in one chunk on Friday - it is up to you!
