Writer's Corner

How are your personal narratives coming along?

Have you written an awesome hook? What kind was it?
What is your story about? Have you tried a "show not tell"? If so, what was it? 
Are you ready to publish or are you revising or writing your first draft? Let's chat about our writing!

  1. I am writing about paddle boarding with my niece. I am writing my first draft. I used a dialogue hook. I started my story with Anastasia asking me if I wanted to paddle board. I haven't used a show not tell yet, but I want to. I can't wait to actually publish so that I can illustrate. But, I might just bring in real pictures of the incident. I have really enjoyed reading you all's narratives. I love all of the show not tells. For example, Read wrote "pumps his fists" instead of saying I am excited/proud. Way to go, Read. I loved Talan's onomatopoeia BAM! keep up the great writing!
