How to Teach at Home |
The list of how you can change it is pretty endless. You can do this in teams or on your own. But here’s the challenge you’ll face BEYOND that – to help you find your voice: Once you’ve written your fractured fairy tale, I want you to reread what you/your team wrote and answer these questions (just talking through them with another writer). We’re trying to sort out what you notice about the WRITING STYLE overall, meaning:
After having this discussion, consider rewriting parts of your story. You might rewrite the whole thing, or you might add a little bit to help explain the story better. Or maybe it’s perfect as-is! (Hint: it’s really NEVER perfect as-is ;)
