We’ve discussed turning a family story into an artistic piece of writing.
However, what about children’s stories?
I’ve uncovered some family legends and histories that I thought would make great children’s story.
So how do I determine if it is appropriate for children?
- They had a great lesson or point to teach.
- The story was short and could be told in a few hundred words.
- The story was interesting enough for children.
- The story could be expanded into a teaching tool.
- You can imagine the pictures or graphics that accompany the story.
To write a strong story, take some writing classes and join a critique group to learn the basics.
- However, briefly let me remind you:
- Grab the reader’s interest from the very beginning
- Don’t let the middle of the story sag or become to weighted down
- End on a strong note
Again, learning the art of writing is a big help in writing these stories.
How can you bring the past to life through children’s writing?
