I've made This page to give you a little info on how to "adventure write." If you've explored our website you might have read about Sally Ride, Amelia Earhart, a girl who survived in the winter wilderness, or a girl who loves to hunt. Here is where you can learn to write stuff like that. It's not too hard or complicated. Just get an idea and GO!!!

This is the basic way to start, deciding what type of literature it's going to be. There are tons of ways to write. Poems, short stories, novels . . . the list goes on and on! Simply choose your fave and WRITE AWAY!!!

• Main Way: A short story. These are really easy and are about the length of a children's story (often minus the pictures). If you start off saying you want to write a short story, sometimes it may end up as a novel.
  
  
• Chapter Book: These are a little harder, but can be done! These require a little more information and writing skills. With chapter books you have to have excellent cliffhanger ending chapters and a lot of thought. You have to keep the readers excited and interested in the story line.
  
  
• Poem: A simple, yet effective way of writing. Not what I would suggest for a adventure, but like I said before, it can be done. POEMS DO NOT HAVE TO RHYME! It's an automatic thought, all poems rhyme. Being a poet myself, I know this isn't true. You might want to make the writing flow smoothly. This is something you normally can just tell. Poems do take a little practice and a lot of rewriting to get right.
  
  
• Novel: One of the hardest to write if you're just starting out. Novels take a long time to finish. They are a lot like chapter books, but they are much longer and often have a harder reading level than chapter books. If you're just starting out, I wouldn't suggest that you try to write a novel first off.

Starting to write is easy and difficult because you must find a somewhat broad topic that will keep readers in suspense, at times. This topic must be something you can build on and create an interesting story that will capture readers and imaginations.

Remember these key facts (not all are needed for all types of writing):

• Start off with a very basic outline of your information or brainstorm possible topics you could write about.
• Think of a good story line or plot (such as 'Last week Eleanor was discovered missing with no real clues as to why.') to capture your readers imagination.

This is the fun part of all writing -- watching as pen and paper form your story. Often you might get writer's block and can't think of one word to write. If this happens, kick back, relax, eventually you'll think of something. You can't, however, just scribble down some words and expect to be world famous. You have to work at it.
