Learn How to Write an ๐Ÿฅพ Adventure Story ๐Ÿฅพ

Hey Reader,

I get a lot of questions about being an author. I thought I would start a monthly club of sorts where I break down one element of writing a novel and give a little lesson.

These lessons are geared towards middle graders and young adults, so if you have a 8-13+ year old stomping around the house, give em a poke and see if they want to take a stab at being a writer for an afternoon!

๐Ÿ‘‡๐ŸพLet's dive in!


Today, we're looking at making...

An Adventure Story


Today, we're learning...
How to Write an adventure story


Step 1: Start with an Exciting Idea

  • The Quest: (finding a treasure, saving a kingdom, exploring an unknown land)
  • The Setting: (jungle, desert, distant planet)

Step 2: Create Dynamic Characters

  • The Hero: (brave, resourceful)
  • The Sidekick: (helps or supports the hero)
  • The Villain: (opposes the hero, formidable adversary)

Step 3: Build an Exciting Plot

  • Challenges and Obstacles: (traps, enemies, natural disasters)
  • Pacing: (fast-paced scenes, moments of tension)
  • Twists and Turns: (unexpected events)

Step 4: Create a Vivid Setting

  • Descriptions: (vivid details)
  • Atmosphere: (exciting, mysterious, dangerous)

Step 5: Include Heartfelt Moments

  • Friendship and Teamwork: (working together, supporting each other)
  • Personal Growth: (characters change or learn)

Step 6: End with a Bang

  • Resolve the Quest: (heroโ€™s success or failure)
  • Tie Up Loose Ends: (address remaining questions)
  • Reflect on the Journey: (charactersโ€™ reflections)

Now, let your kiddo try!
