Write about someone with a special power. Are there limits to their abilities? Does the character exist in our world or in another? Do other people have powers as well? Can they use them in public or are there strict rules? Give them conflicts to face.

Write about grandparents. Focus on specific characters. Are they kind, quirky, grumpy, or silly? What kind of relationship do they have with their grandchildren? Do they crochet while waiting for cookies to bake, or are they members of an elite team of spies? Utilize character interaction.

Whether you’re reading or writing a book, one of the most important things to decide on is what PoV(Point of view) you like or will be using. For me, I’m most comfortable with 3rd person PoV, although I will read 1stperson if it interests me.

Now, there are two main PoV’s that you’re told about in school. There’s 1st person and 3rd person. But, there’s way more PoV’s out there then just those two.

1st Person- This is when it’s following one certain character and written in their thoughts. It’s how the character sees it. Out of the two main PoV’s, this one is the lesser used of the two.

This is very helpful and informative, I very much recommend it!

Write about the picture above. Who made the shelter? Why? Were they lost? Maybe they decided to run away and take refuge there, or perhaps it’s an entrance leading to an underground tunnel where elves live. Be creative and tell what happens there.
