Today in writing we had to make a guide to a type of writing. I chose narrative writing. here is my guide.
PLAN:
Part one: planning. To write your story, you will want to start off with a plan. If you are writing a narrative, flow charts, hamburgers, and mind maps are good ways to plan. Make sure to come up with multiple ideas so if one doesn’t work, you’ll have a back up!
|
Part two: first draft. In the first draft, you’ll want to do some work on the main themes of your narrative: The characters, the setting, the problem, and the outcome. Then begin writing.
|
Part three: refining. Read your first draft, and change the things you don’t like. Make the locations and characters more unique, instead of cookie cutter characters like: the hero. The villain. Someone that needs help. If you make characters like this, it won’t be very interesting, so be sure to give them distinct and unique personalities!
|
Part four: editing. Reread what you’ve done so far, and fix the grammar, spelling and punctuation. If you can, check it over with a friend.
|
Part five:the easiest part: all you have to do is meet with a publisher over lunch/dinner, strike up a publishing deal, and finally, get it published.
|
Here’s a template for you to write your story.
