Weekly Tip #4

Hey guys, this is storyblogger77. First of all, I just want to say some apologies about not posting last week. I would have totally, but I was on vacation. I have a very big passion for writing, and it was very hard not to write on here. I did have my tablet with me, but the WiFi at my hotel was not working. I am sorry about the disappointment. Now that we're done with the apologies, why don't we get to the real point of this, my fourth weekly tip!

This week: Rough Drafts and Planning

Sometimes it is fun to write without planning, just using your brain. Though, if you want a more, structured story, I suggest you plan. Planning will help you get to the point, focus on one thing, and make a more structured story. Plus, you will have all your ideas written down, and you won't get stuck in the middle of a story. Rough drafts are more for the people who actually have the time to edit. Sometimes, I can't find the time to edit, and I just want to have fun with an uncut story. Now, rough drafting is almost just the outline of a story. If you feel you want to add more details or clean up the story, I suggest that you make your first copy a rough draft. After making a rough draft, first, go back and add details. This going to beef up the story, and make it more appealing to the reader. This is called editing. Next, go and fix grammatical, spelling, and punctuation errors. This will make your story cleaner, and look professional. This is called revising. It is best to go back more than once to edit and revise. This makes your story even better. You can also have other people edit/revise your story. When you are writing a book, you must send it to an editor. Hardly ever, will people's books get published on the first trip to the editor. So before you finish your story, you might want to try and edit or revise. This has been a message from storyblogger77.

Weekly Tip #3

Hello, storyblogger77 coming to you with this week's tip. First of all, I would just like to say that I am sorry for posting this so late in the week. It is a Friday today, and that is kind of late in the week. Secondly, I am going on vacation tomorrow for a week, so I am sorry if I do not post that week. Now, time for the real point.

Weekly Tip #3

This tip is about when you just can't come up with an idea for a story. Use inspiration from nature, your family, art, other stories, even songs. For the nature part, look around you, and maybe, have your setting in a forest. Or, describe your front yard in your story. For the family part, you could use experiences that you had with your family. Art, use the colors of the art, textures, shapes, any part to inspire you. That really depends on what you are looking at, or how it inspires you. Now, songs are difficult. Use the ideas that the artist is trying to express in the song to use as the moral of your story, or even the plot. I hope these ideas helped.  

Also, I am running a contest. Check out my article called "I need your help" for the details. 

Have a good day,

storyblogger77

Take a Bowe!

Tap, tap, tap, tap, tip, tap, tick, tick tick, went her shoes across the wooden floors. The dancers suddenly stopped. The curtains closed. When they reopened, the skittering of a thousand mice exploded off of the stage engulfing the crowd. The first row of dancers came to the stage, bowing, and waiting for the next row. The applause of the audience erupted, as some of the people in the first row threw flowers. When the curtain finally closed, everyone began to get up. All except for one girl. She sat there, in a wheel chair, being pushed by her mother out of the theatre, again, disappointed that she could not be upon the stage. Her face, frozen, unmoving, except for a couple of jolts here and there. Her mother kept pushing her, trying not to bump into anything. Custodians swept the floor, hinting for the audience to hurry up.

Dancers came running from back stage. Thinking not, that the little girl was only an earshot away, the started to say,

"Did you see that girl in the wheel chair? What a tragedy." And

"I wish she had never came to the show." The girl broke out in tears, making a horrific scene. She screamed loudly, flailed her arms, and kicked some people near her. The crowd moved away, trying to give the girl space. People shot her mean looks and sorry ones for her mother. The dancers walked past, saying harsh remarks under their breath. Though, the girl only cried more. One of the assistants came up to her mother whispering,

"We kindly ask that you leave this theatre." The mother looked at her and said,

"It does not seem kind to evict us from your theatre." Then she pushed her daughter quickly up the stairs, her chested heaving back and forth, with a cherry red face. Suddenly, a purple sparkly figure approached. No, it was not a fairy, nor any other mythical being. It was a dancer who was fresh of the stage. With a worried look, she went sprinting to the family. She had tears streaming down her face,

"Mom, let's go. The other dancers were insulting Harper." She wrapped her arms around her mother, and kissed the screaming girls face. The dancer went bursting through the doors, rapidly picking up speed. When she finally ran out of breath, she took the wheelchair and sat in one of the chairs in the large lobby. One of the dancers, in a traditional, pink tutu and a small crown upon her head approached the two crying girls.

"I am sorry," the girl said.

"For what?" answered the other girl.

"I am sorry for being mean to your sister. I am really, truly sorry." The girl looked up at the dancer, and smiled. For this was a girl she had never seen, she embraced her with a hug so large it would fit two bears. The pink dancer, held out her flowers to the girl in the wheel chair.

"These are for you," she said, a broad smile across her face.
