I'm writing a story about 5 friends named Valerie Mackenzie,Chloe,Chelsea and Autumn can u help me start it!

Perhaps you could start it with something going on... they%26#039;re at the mall, someone%26#039;s making fun of one of them and the others stick up for her, etc. Don%26#039;t do the whole, long description thing at the beginning. Describe everyone and everything in little snippets. If you put the entire description of them all at once, it will be really boring, and everyone will probably stop reading right then and there.





Good luck with your new story!

Generally, to make it interesting, start in the middle. Don%26#039;t begin the story in a way it sounds like a beginning. They%26#039;re already doing something and you just happened to invisibly slide in beside them and start writing from there. (I didn%26#039;t mean that figuretivly but start from the middle). If you notice, children%26#039;s stories generally have a structured beginning, middle and ending. Since it sounds like Young Adult or YA as we librarians say, you don%26#039;t want to write down to your audience since I%26#039;m assuming your target audience will be readers approximately your age.

The last Friday of every month is a day to be dreaded. Every floor must be vacuumed, every couch and chair dustless, and every bed made so tight that a nickle can bounce a foot when dropped with little force. Twenty-two orphans must be washed and in good humor ; and all twenty-two must be reminded to use their best manners, and say %26quot;Yes Ma%26#039;am%26quot;, %26quot;No Sir%26quot;, whenever a potential adoptive parent comes through and addresses them individually. Yes, the last Friday of every month is Visiting Day.





(This is the best I could come up with on short notice...lol...hope it helps alittle.)
Reply:Here is something you might consider:





Valerie decided to visit a park near her home. It was a mild spring day and the wind brought the scent of orange blossoms from the groves surrounding the park in Southern California. Valerie was about to turn fifteen years of age, her hair was the color of a ravens%26#039; wing, her sad eyes were the color of emeralds and her oval ivory face wore an exited look. She was sitting on a steel bench that felt good on her bare legs for she was wearing shorts. She saw her Friends walking towards her and she heard the happy giggling and small talk and her heart felt warm.
