Always keep a copy of your writing in a safe place. The wrong click of my mouse has more than once eaten writing I had worked hard on. The following steps will help to prevent that from happening to you.
1. Write your story or poem on your home or school computer.
2. Revise and edit your writing. See entries on this blog for editing ideas, and remember that professional writers go back over their work many, many times.
3. Save and then Copy your writing. If you are not sure how to do this, have someone show you. Once you have done it a couple of times, it gets pretty easy.
4. Now sign onto www.kidswrite4kids.com click on Publish Your Writing.
5. When the publishing page comes up, type the name of your writing into the title line, then Paste your story or poem into the large empty space below the title line.
6. Read back over your work to be sure everything is as you want it to appear.
7. Click Submit at the bottom of the page, then wait at least a minute before clicking anything else or leaving the page. This is an important step.
Tip: If you are new to Copy and Paste, practice first. Ask a teacher or a parent or an older friend to show you how it is done. Then practice making copies and pasting them onto a page on your computer before you publish.
You’ll be a pro in no time! Happy publishing!
