What do you see? What could you smell? Taste? Feel?

Patricia Polacco I would recommend that all new writers keep their stories concise and close to their hearts.

Kevin O’Malley First you have to come up with a great idea. You have to let the idea float around in your head for awhile. Most good ideas will stay with you for a least a couple of days. When a new idea pops into my head I usually write it down in a note book. You never know when some bad ideas can be turned into good ones.
