STAR Girl When I was little, my Uncle Pete had a necktie with a porcupine painted on it. I thought that necktie was just about the neatest thing in the world. Uncle Pete would stand patiently before me while I ran my fingers over the silky surface, half expecting to be stuck by one of the quills. Once, he let me wear it. I kept looking for one of my own, but I could never find one.”
Tip from a writing nerd: • You’d be amazed at just how often kids have already written a wonderful lead…it is just buried within the draft. • How to find it: IS there a point of the story where the action begins? That’s your lead. You can explain the background stuff later.
