Well, hello there! I'm the Main Character. Are you here for narrative writing?

Fantastic! Let's get started. First, let's find a TOPIC for your story. Hmmm...

HALLOWEEN MONSTERS

Do you have your TOPIC?

Perfect!

Now we need to make a beginning for your story. What happens first in your story about Halloween Monsters?

Once upon a time on Halloween night, there was a witch who was making Goblin Soup. Her friends were all coming over for dinner. They were the scariest of monsters.

Great start! That reminds me...

While we're talking about the BEGINNING, let's choose the first SETTING. Since you mentioned a witch making soup, maybe a witch's house?

Great landing, right? There's your BEGINNING that you wrote, above my head!

Hmmm...this SETTING needs some DETAILS.

Now, in your BEGINNING you already talked about other CHARACTERS. Let's introduce them. What happens next in your narrative?

A knock on the door! Who's here?

Ooooo a second SETTING to introduce another CHARACTER! Good idea! 

The Bogeyman! He's so scary! Look at his teeth!

Oh my gosh! He scared me. Good choice for a  Halloween Monster! What other CHARACTERS are in the story?

Another knock at the door! Someone else has arrived. Who could it be?

Another CHARACTER! Using the word "another" helps TRANSITION to the next EVENT, or move the story along. Let's see who it is...

Frankenstein! 

He's even scarier! Look how big he is!

Wow, he IS big. Good job adding DETAILS about Frankenstein!

Another EVENT! Soon I won't fit on the page! Where can I go?

Knock knock knock! Another guest! Who is it this time?

It's the Blue Gremlin! Wow, he might be the scariest one!

I found a spot.

Soon, all of the Witch's friends have arrived...
