Letter from the editor

Greetings Fellow Adventurers,

         Writing adventures for kids incites action by its nature, planning and action. Keep it simple. Start with a conflict that kids understand. Then plan your adventure. Think about it. Kids plan things out. Just watch them, rarely random, albeit often short-lived, adventures that range from climbing trees to gather cherries and spitball pits at unsuspencing passersby to serious exploration of the stream at the bottom of the hill or the spiderwebby suitcase in the back of the garage.

*Right*Plan your adventure
         *Bulletgr* Where will it happen?
                    A remote place on earth?
                    In the future? or the past?
                    An imaginary place?

*Right*Introduce, and get to know, your character
         *Bulletb*Girl or boy?
                   How old?
                   Where does he/she live?
                   What does he/she look like?
         *Bulletr*What talent or ability does he/she have?
                   How will he/she use it to embark on and complete the adventure?

*Right*What does the character want? what's the goal?
         *Bullet*Is he/she looking for someone or something?
         *Bulletbr*Is there a journey to get somewhere?

*Right*Are there friends to help?
         *Bulleto*What are they like, how can they help?
                   Is it a person, an animal or bird?
                   Is it a spirit, a machine?

*Right*What's making it hard to reach the goal?
         *Bulletv*Physical obstacles?
                   Are there abandoned buildings, a thick forest?
         *Bulletgr*Are there bad guys trying to keep him from completing the adventure?
         *Bullet*Is there something he/she has to learn or before completing the adventure?

*Right*What is the most difficult obstacle your character will have to encounter and overcome ~near the end of the adventure, when success is almost at hand.
         *Bullet*How does he/she overcome it and succeed in the adventure.

*Right*Bring your character back home to end the story. It's asatisfying adventure, now wrap it up as a success!

         And have fun remembering (or mis-remembering) the adventures of youth, real or imagined, and write one for the fun of it *Smile*
