`Finding Ideas`

to bottom of page.

Sometimes, finding an idea is the hardest part of writing a story. Most writers say you should write about what interests you or about what you know. The Internet is a fantastic place to go looking for inspiration! Spend some time checking out these pages that link to hundreds of sites of interest to kids. When you find a site you like, start imagining yourself or another character in the place you are visiting. A great way to start is by asking the question, "What if...?"
