I'm a writer who.......
Last year I did not like to write very much until I incorporated what I like to read into my writing. I love to write stories about two kids named Mark and Amber who go back in time to different places. I'm kind of confident in my writing I'll let my teacher read it even if she hasn't asked, I'll let my parents read it and some of my friends. I'm not afraid of anything as a writer except that my writing wont be good. One of my strengths is to write about things that are funny and make me feel happy.
Inspiration
My inspiration is Greek mythology. I love to read Greek mythology and things having to do with Greek mythology. Even though some of the stories I right don't have to do with Greek mythology, Greek mythology still inspired a number of stories I'm writing right now.
Genre
I like to write stories about two kids named Mark and Amber who are best friends that share the same interests. They go to different places to learn more about some of their favorite things and find something that teleports them back in time.
Process
I first decide where my characters are going when they go back in time. Then I think of some event going on around that time. Also I think of what takes them back in time. After that I think of what happens while they are back in time. Later I think of what brings them back. Finally I write my story.
The First Story
When we were in 5th grade I came up with and idea to write a story about going back in time. I thought about what would happen for a long time. Finally I came up with the perfect idea. I would right a story about two kids who go back in time to Ancient Greece during the time of the Trojan war. Most people brainstorm before they write a story. For me it was easier to just start writing. I wrote and wrote and wrote. Since they story had to do a little with history I had to research and make sure the facts I already knew were correct. I wrote all the time, during writing class, at home, in the car and when I was waiting at school when the day was done. I didn't like writing before this and I always hate when we had to right. But no I was so happy we got to right. When I finished my story it was 18 pages long. I thought it was pretty good and had a few of my friends read it. I made a cover page with the title and a back page with and Authors blurb. I was proud of myself for writing a story my teacher did not assign me to write. I am planning on writing more stories like this.
My goals as a sixth grade writer
- I would like to finish 3 back in time stories
- I would like to be able to share my writing with everyone in the class
- I would like to write stories over 10 pages.
