Things my story should have

or things that I should have
done as a writer
1.

Wrote about an important story

that happened to me, either a
turning point, a time I realized
something, or a first or last
time.
2. Zoomed in with exact details
that happened to me. Made
the small seed moment seem
big with details
3. Wrote about a small moment,
not one large summary or
watermelon topic.
4. My lead answers most
questions of who, what, where
and why. Also has great detail
about the setting, characters, or
dialogue. (Can include more
than one)
5. I have internal thoughts written
and have explained my feelings
with a lot of detail. The reader
knows exactly what I was
feeling.
6. I stayed in my point of view. I
only wrote exactly what I was
experiencing. I did not write
any thoughts of other people. (I
may have showed their
thoughts through their actions
and dialogue)
7. I capitalized each sentence, I
made a new paragraph every
time someone new is speaking,
I have correct grammar and
ending punctuation. I spelled
most common words correctly.
8. I have added so much feeling
and detail to the heart of my
story. Any reader would not be
confused and know what is
going on because there is so
much detail.
9. I have thoughts of either the
past of the future in my story.
10. My story mountain goes like
this: Introduce character, have
a problem, things that
happened related to the
problem, and then the problem
is solved.
11. The ending either resolves the
problem, shows how feelings
changed, or tells lesson learned.
