It can also be really simple and at times, logical. Do we adults just over complicate things?
On my Shape Land workshops, I often chat with the older children (5-7's) about what can help us to write stories.
Here are some of their advice and words of wisdom... I hope they make you smile!
1) Buy a pen!
2) Always eat breakfast, Weetabix is particularly good!
3) Watch T.V for ideas...Bob the builder is great!
4) Have a beginning, middle and an end.
5) Read books, read anything!
6) "Mum says to be a writer you need to be able to spell".
7) When writing, always remember to use paper!
8) Dress up as Spiderman!
9) If you can't write, then you should go dancing.
10) If you don't know what to write, ask someone else!
I hope these tips help you all to get writing, they certainly helped with this months blog.
The children are right!
When I'm fed up and can't write, dancing around the house to music does help!
Fancy dress parties can create lots of ideas and articles, fab photo's etc. Advice from others is
valuable!
Lastly, writing materials are essential! With so many ideas bouncing around our heads, we
couldn't possibly remember them all, you just need to get them down on paper!
As for the tip on spelling...Thank goodness for a spell check!
