Steps for writing your stories

By reading stories about hockey!  Books exercise the creative part of your thinking by allowing you to form a picture inside your head from words on a page.  If you can do that with reading and writing stories about hockey, you will always feel you’re on the ice.

⦁ Begin to think about what you want to write about and the characters in your story.

⦁ Start writing on paper how your story starts, plays out, and the ending.

⦁ Create your characters and give them each a name.

⦁ What is the title of your story.

⦁ Once you have your general story down on paper, what pictures do you want to add?

⦁ Taking pictures of your real characters with an iPhone and then transfer to your computer.

⦁ You can transfer your written story by typing it into a word document.

⦁ Insert your pictures into the areas of the characters you have created.

⦁ You can use ChatGPT to turn real picture into a cartoon character if you like.  

⦁ Your story will need to be worked and worked in arranging the story how you like.

⦁ You’re going to see spelling errors and the need to align things to flow effectively.

⦁ Fine tune your story, how it appears, how big or small you want pictures to flow and align. 

⦁ I suggest printing your story on regular printing paper that is 8.5 x 11 inches.
