● Have you ever thought about the other side of the story
you tell? What might it be like to be the other person in
the event? This is what authors do.
Link: Writers, this is the first step in beginning our new story.
Today when you go back to your seats to write, I want you to
remember that there is always two sides to every story.
Today, and forever, when you write……try not to ever
stop thinking about people, places, and problems that have
happened in your life…….because that’s what strong writers
do.
