Mister Lemur’s Tips for Getting Started
·  Ideas happen anywhere. Be prepared and have a notebook with you.
·  Just write! Don’t worry if it’s good. You’ll go back and edit.
·  Edit. Edit. Edit. Leave plenty of time to revise what you wrote and make it better.
·  Get feedback! Ask your parents, teacher and friends what they like and how you can improve it.
·  Have fun! This is how your best writing happens.

Good luck and happy writing!
