Hmm sounds like it could be a good story..I think your getting somewhere... hmm now for secrets.. well maybe for the older business men he could actually be bald.. like he is actually wearing a wig..lol.... for the 17 year old girl ... hmm... maybe she could have a crush on a nerdy guy.. or like she is popular but loves barney.. hehe.. hmm the men in there twenties.. i wanna say gay but like its aged for 9-16 year olds.. hmm well actully thats all I can think of... hopefully I've sparked some sparks in your brain.. I promise though if I do come up with anymore secrets I'll be sure to tell you.. well could luck :)



The person above me.... umm maybe raped should stay out of a story aimed for 9-16 year olds... and the affair one.. I don't think thats appropriate for 9 year olds..

How can submitting to a writing contest be appealing to students and teachers?

We Answered:

I would, yes. But I don't have a class yet, I'm a student teacher. Sounds like a good idea.

Tiffany Said:

I want to enter a writing contest. For the contest we have to write a fictional story. I need help with ideas

We Answered:

How about these kids asking The FLAT EARTH SOCIETY to sponsor them on a trip to the edge of the earth to prove, once and for all that the earth is flat.

So they get to the edge and nearly fall off and come back with some great video of their trip and they go on all the TV shows and make lots of money and they all get Pulitizer prizes for proving that the earth is NOT ROUND after all.

Try the free writing contest at Storymash.com, it's collaborative fiction, so to enter you only have to add your chapter after any other chapter. You might need to be 18 tho to get paid. It's fun!

Oh, they also pay over half revenue.
