Spent some time with 4/5 grade writers of Susan Gusinow’s class this morning. What an interesting and inquisitive group! I enjoyed every question, especially the hard ones like “What do you do when you can’t think of anything to write?” As I mentioned, my answer to this, as well as to other “blockage” types of challenges is the “lower your standards and move on.”
I wish you all the best of luck as you proceed in writing your stories. Remember to think in terms of audience (who is the story for) and try to include elements to engage your readers such as alliteration, onomatopoeia, repetition, 3s, etc.
Have fun!
