Writing Tip: Once you have an idea then you can develop the story. Something happens. Boy wizard grows up. Man with superpowers saves the world. Boy in wheelchair finds a garden. Girl goes exploring. Then you can ask when did this happen? Where? How? Who else was there? What happened?

Write something down, anything, just a few words a sentence or more. Describe colours, sounds, smells around you. It doesn’t have to be ginormous or profound. Just start and start small.
