Guide On Making a Good Story

Hello, everybody! First off, I would like to say hello again. Recently, I hadn't been caught up on my school work, and I quit. But know I'm back. :) 

So, how many of you have a good idea for a story, but have no idea how your going to put it on paper? Well, your in luck because I'm here to help you! 

First of all, we need our gear. So, use this checklist and get all the things your going to need for writing your story. 

 Many of you wouldn't like to write it all down, so you type. Join the club E-mazingStories, and you'll be able to write stories in your own topic. But, I would also follow the guide below.

Writing Checklist
For Writing on Paper and Computer

WRITING ON PAPER CHECKLIST

• Your Writing Pencil ( You need one to write! I prefer using a pencil; you can't erase with a pen. but it's your choice. )
• Plenty of Lined Paper ( What else would you write on? )
• A Red/Blue Pen ( For Editing )
• Notebook/Journal/Notepad ( To sort out your idea )
• A snack and Drink. ( You'll be writing for a while, so you'll get hungry. )

TYPING ON THE COMPUTER CHECKLIST

• A snack and Drink. ( Might get Hungry! )
• A Computer/Laptop 
• Join E-mazingStories ( Which I prefer ) and create a topic for your story. ( A space to write in )

The Writing Steps We Will Be Taking

For Both Computer and Paper 

First Step: Getting Prepared

First, you should find a quiet place in your house such as your room. You'll be sitting for a while, so wear something comfortable.  Once you've settled down with your snack,drink, and writing materials, bring out your journal and pencil. Start writing down the idea for your story. Once you have, start writing your characters, settings, you know, like that. You should really write down all your info about about story and sort it out. Next you should be able to start writing your rough draft!

For you guys on the computer, here's what you should do to get prepared. Sit in a quiet room, and dress up in a comfortable outfit. Log into Stardoll and join the club E-mazingStories. Create a topic. (  STORY: Your Title ) Now you have a space to write in!

Second Step: Starting Your Story 

Now that you've finally wrote down your idea for the story and sorted it all out,you should be able to get to work on your rough draft for your story. You will have the rough draft so you can edit spelling,grammar, or just add new things and delete some. Now. The writing! You don't have to write super neat, remember, it's only a draft! 

For computers, you won't actually have a rough draft; but your welcome to edit any time you want. Your rough and final copy will sort of be merged together until you edit all errors, get rid of a few words or sentences, or maybe add new things. Make sure once you finish one post, you should always look for something you need, or need to get rid of. That way, once you finish your entire story, you won't have to go threw the entire thing to edit, which may take a LONG time!

Third Step: Finishing Up Your Procedures For Your Story

While your writing your story, you should always ask others to read it and give you feedback. They may notice things you have not. You should never be afraid to ask for help; others will be reading your story sometime, so why not they help you? After your rough draft, start editing with your friends our family with your red/blue pen.

Once you have, use your rough draft to write your final copy. Add your cover and back, and slap it on! Now, you have a great story, fully finished, no errors. Hope You Like it!

Your final step for those of you on the computers is to make sure you've edited correctly on each of your posts, and you haven't skipped any. Once you have, you'll be able to sit back, read your story, and read others's comments about your story! :)


Post in the Comments how your story turned out! I can't wait to hear from you guys. :)
