About the final project for: Writing Children's Stories for Beginners

Children's story writing for beginners

“You have reached the end of the course, thank you for accompanying me on this path. Hope you enjoyed the process as much as I did. Your time has come to embark on a new adventure and travel the path of creation to develop your own story. Remember that I showed you my process, but you can adopt what works for you and discard what you think is not working for you. Please, when you are writing do not run, this is not about that, do not hurry! If you give the process time at the end you will have a captivating story for your readers. Writing is not an easy task and doing it for children much less, accepting this challenge is realizing and assuming that children are demanding readers, and that you should never, but never, underestimate them. Taking this into account, it will be easier for you to maintain the rigor you need to write this type of literature. Entering the world of children's stories is wonderful, I encourage you to take this opportunity to write something that you love. If it doesn't look perfect the first time, remember that you can polish your text as much as you like until you feel comfortable with the result. Do not be discouraged if it does not turn out as you expected, writing is an action that requires exercising every day, so whatever happens, do not stop writing or stop exercising your imagination. Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to share with you everything I have learned throughout my life. Now, I ask you to share with me and with the rest of your colleagues what you have learned by sharing your final project. You can upload your story through screenshots, but please also write a short text in which you tell us how was your journey to get to your story. If you have any questions, you can use the forum, I will answer you as soon as possible, but I ask for your patience because it may take a while. If you see that any of your colleagues have a question that you can help them with, I ask you to do so, but remember to always do it in a respectful way. I hope to see your story soon and share more knowledge with you through the forum. Bye!”
