5. TAKE NOTES! – Write what’s in blue *How to start my story…
Snapshot Setting – begin by descriptively describing the setting so your readers can put themselves in your story.
Example: The huge vines wrapped around the ancient trees. The leaves were so thick, they blocked out any remaining light to the trembling forest floor.

6. 2. Snapshot Character
Describe your main character’s most important features and characteristics.
Example: At 6 feet 5 inches, Brandon towered above the others. His blue-green eyes searched the night for the sound, but he saw nothing.

7. 3. Foreshadowing
Begin by offering hints of what will happen later in the story. Don’t be too obvious.
Example: If only Brandon had known the danger that awaited him before he stepped into the forest.

8. 4. Use Dialogue
Begin the story by having one or more characters speak out loud or internally.
Example: “Don’t go in there!” Sarah screamed. But Brandon had already made it 6 feet into the deep dark forest.
“I’ll be fine! Trust me” he replied as his voice faded.

9. 5. Jump into the Action!
Put your reader right into the middle of suspense. Then either flashback or pause and describe background info.
Example: Sweat dripped down Brandon’s face and hands as he crept through the dense trees. He heard a slight croak coming from up ahead behind the bushes. “How did I get here?” He began recalling the events that lead up to the fateful trek through haunted forest. Last week Sarah had warned…
