Csan you please read and rate this and give me anything else i can add Thanks!

Okay, here I am sitting in my English class when my English teacher says ‘Okay guys, your exams are now over so I will set you some homework. You have to write me a story.

Now this is going to be hard work. Why oh why couldn’t it be something about my times tables or 30 maths questions or a few laps around the oval or making a pot in ceramics but NO! We’ve got the toughest one of the lot, writing a story.

So here I am wondering about what to write about… Oh! What about a horror story. ‘One day on a dark and stormy night.’ Na! Everyone is going to write about that one! How about a spy story ‘he saw the bullet slow down, everyone says time slows down when your about to die but he knew that already.’ But I don’t know enough about that sort of thing.

Last night we went to the Thai restraint down in Turramurra and I was talking to my parents about what I could write about but they only came up with really lame ideas like ‘Talk about your pets’ well I have a dog, his name his Fink and he is a European muffle dog cross new Zealand dash hound. We think he is a muffash. How about I try a story about my fish… what fun they were. After 3 days they used to spend all their time on the surface. What about me thinking about getting pet chickens. Well there were two reasons why my parents wouldn’t let me get some. The first reason was that when you get pet chickens you get some free rats, and the second reason was that we already have enough problems with our neighbours.

My parents then suggested that I talked about my holidays. Well I did spend 4 weeks in the caravan park in Narrabeen lakes. Well all we did was play cards and get sand in our sleeping bags. What is exotic about that? I have some friends in my class that go to Japan for skiing or Africa or Vietnam or America. Common, I haven’t even been outside New South Wales.

My mum then Exclaimed ‘I know what you can write about!’ ‘What’ I asked her and she replyed ‘my wonderful cooking what!’ she gasped. Okay, she is expecting me to write 800 words on what EasyMac-macaroni cheese tastes like. Well I can tell you; Maceroni cheese tastes like cardboard covered with cheese. Happy?

So far, my parents want me to write about; Fink my dog, My floating fish, My Next door neighbour chickens, my holidays in Narrabeen and Macaroni cheese. If anyone can get 800 words out of that, I will call them... err… I will call them…umm… Oh! That pearshake dude that we talked about in English,

Finding a well thought can also be difficult. The the first thing I could do is to selected a style. Do you prefer delusion? Scifi? Romance? Horror? and many others and many others. I could maintain off studying any quick reports for your selected style till you've gotten a designated thought in brain, that means you do not by chance borrow *too* many suggestions. Writing's continuously larger if it comes out of your possess head :-) Once you have made up our minds on a style, try to suppose approximately matters that curiosity you to uncover a plot. Look on the global round you for notion. The information can also be well notion, as can track. suppose approximately a few of your favourite reports, or reports you could have appreciated larger if it could have long gone a further means. If you desire to jot down a horror, sit down down, flip off the lighting, and check out to think the scariest factor you'll be able to suppose of going down to you. If you desire a romance, suppose approximately what could fully sweep you off your toes. Scifi and Fantasy can also be handy--what form of worldwide do you want you would reside in? What form of individual do you want you would be? What form of matters do you want had been truly? After you have performed that, come to a decision whether or not you desire it to be in first individual or in 3rd. First individual indicates extra approximately the individual's ideas and emotions and reactions, at the same time 3rd individual indicates extra of the gigantic snapshot and has the possibility to create a few dramatic irony--whatever principal the reader is aware of however the individual does not. Once you have made up our minds all that, it is time to perform a little study! Now you must learn as many quick reports for your style as you'll be able to to get a believe for a way it is performed. Also, google is your pal--use it to appear up keyword phrases "factors of fiction," so you'll be able to appear up matters like plot, symbolism, emerging and falling motion, and many others and many others. You will also google "the best way to write a brief tale," to check out and get a best, cast how-to. That's approximately all I can suppose of. Once you have obtained all that, the leisure (ie, well writing) is as much as you!
