2. Always begin with a great hook like… Hi, my name is… Let me tell you about the time that… This is a story about…

3. Paragraphs… who needs them?

4. Remember to add extra words like “very” and “really” to make your writing longer!

5. “Show Don’t Tell”, what is wrong with telling something?

6. Use all time favorite words like: said, mad, big, and bad.

7. To save space, make your sentences as short as possible and to avoid confusion, begin every sentence with the same pattern!

8. Don’t forget to have a great ending like… “The End”… To be continued… It was all a dream…

9. Stick with easy transition words to use like: then, and then, and then!
