How Do You Write A Book (As A Kid)?
• Get inspired. You can write a book about your Uncle Bob or Aunt Edna. Many writers use ideas they get from dreams they’ve had. If you are a teenager and have a chance to go to the mall or some other public space; sit and watch people (watch how they interact with others or even their habits and mannerisms) – this can be excellent material. If you feel comfortable enough watching people, you could go so far as attaching stories to them- ie. That old woman rushing through the mall is really a CIA agent, and she’s tracking an international jewel thief. Anyway, you get the idea. • Find kids like you. Maybe a teacher will help you organise a writing group. The idea behind this is that you will all write what you want, on your own time, not for an assignment. Then, bring your writing to the group meeting (once or twice a month.) Pass the writing around, giving everyone about five to ten minutes to read each person’s writing. Make notes on it, helping out with spelling, description, plot, e
