Recently in September, the author Gary Hogg came for a day to our school. If you don't know who Gary Hogg is he is a wonderful children's author who has really inspired me. He has written books such as the Charlie Bacon, and the Spencer's Adventure's series. One of the things he has taught me that has helped me as a writer is learning to think twice. In this video he will talk about how you make your writing sound twice as smart.📚
As you can see, bigger and more specific words can make you sound way smarter than you truly are. If you want to learn more about Mr. Hogg, visit his website at https://garyhoggbooks.com/

To make sure your writing is the best product as possible, you have to make sure that you have a plan and know what your topic is. Your technique though really depends on the type of writing you are doing. There are 4 main types of writing. ✏
Narrative Writing ( Tells stories)
Descriptive Writing (Paints a picture with words)
Expository Writing ( Explains or informs)
Persuasive Writing ( Tries to convince or give an opinion)
The only time you need to research for your writing is when you do Expository Writing (The informational stuff 😜) Descriptive and Narrative are when use your imagination ( paint a picture with Descriptive, or tell stories with Narrative 😃). All you need though for Persuasive Writing, is an opinion or cause you want to convince others about. Preparing to Write Brainstorming Tips ⭐Organizing your Ideas 1. Write Down any thought that comes to your mind Brainstorming Listing 2. Use your imagination Free Writing Outlining 3. Don't hesitate writing something down Looping Charting 4. Connect thoughts and ideas to create a topic that interests you Mapping I hope this can help you get started writing and helps you organize your thoughts and ideas, as well as understand some of the different types of writing.

Hi my name is Tatum I'm 10 years old and I LOVE TO WRITE!❤❤❤❤ ( Dumbledore also inspires me as you can see.)
I believe that the Harry Potter series is one of the most inspirational and best series of literature in the world. So if I were to recommend any good books to you I would definitely say that the Harry Potter series would be top on my list.
