Welcome!

Welcome to writerswing.com, the blog for kidswrite4kids.com!
I am sooooooo excited!
I have been helping kids become better writers for more than 20 years. Many of my students have been published. Some have even won prizes. Now every kid 13 and younger can be published on kidswrite4kids.com!
The writing ideas you will find on this blog have all been tested with kids your age.
Over the next couple of weeks, I will be telling you about storywriting. After that, I will be writing about poetic form, figures of speech, etc., etc., etc. But for now, here’s an outline for the next couple of weeks:

HOW TO WRITE A STORY, PART I
A. Read This Introduction!
B. Show It! Don’t Just Tell It!
C. Create Characters Who Jump Off the Page
D. So Who Tells This Story, Anyhow?
E. Plop Your Character Smack into a Scene
F. Story Bones!
G. Villains and Troublemakers Stir the Plot!
H. The Change—Hey! What just Happened!?

Be adventurous and try the exercises and story ideas I suggest.
If you want to be REALLY adventurous, become a member of kidswrite4kids.com. That way you can begin showing the world your stories, essays, and poems.

Twice a year, I will pick the very, very best stories and poems and essays from kidswrite4kids.com to be in my online magazine.
