Whenever my story comes to a halt, I know I need to take a look at my characters. You're not sure where to begin to pick apart and solve the problem.
Or the story is already winding down at ten pages. Sometimes, an initial outline or plan for your story simply is inadequate, and the theme seems to have shifted. Perhaps you suffer from authoritis-school is sponging up your creative mental energy, leaving you baffled about where the story should go next. Just when I need time to work on my story the most, you grumble to yourself, my teachers sense it telepathically and line up a stampede of tests. I know the excitement of creating your very own world, but also the feeling of having school and other things interfere. I started Swordbird, my first work, when I was in fifth grade I've been writing ever since, through middle school, and now in high school. And the only way to save the forest is to call on the legendary Swordbird - the heroic bird of peace. He has already enslaved many captives from the surrounding tribes, who he's been forcing to build an evil fortress in which he plans to confine all the woodbirds. Unbeknownst to the woodbirds, the evil hawk Turnatt has been turning the tribes against one another as part of his evil strategy to take over the forest. Stone-run Forest was once a peaceful place, but suddenly the local woodbird tribes, the Cardinals and Blue Jays, find themselves at odds - precious food supplies have been stolen and fighting has broken out. To be clear, the two books here are: Swordbird and Sword Quest. Both books have light rubbing at the corners no interior markings.
