Keyboarding your Short Stories
Fine, I'm not that old, but keyboarding short stories has only come about since the invention of the personal computer. And I was there! Before that we had typewriters, and we typed. The typewriters did look better eventually. Everything ended up on paper. To this day, if you think about it, we still say 'write a story' as opposed to 'type' it. It just sounds funny. Now, young folks have a computer, but they rarely, to my knowledge, use it as well as they should. Being a programmer, I go to my computer to work, create, analyze or reference something. I rarely play on it, and I'm not that keen on social networking, but I know many are. How would you go about creating a new short story using your computer? How would you instruct your child? You need to
get your wordprocessors ready.
Of course, you must remember that the creativity needed to write a short story is a thinking process. This site is all about that process and doing what you can to contribute to it and instil good skills in your child. There's a fair bit of planning to do and there may be a need for some new vocabulary. Expanding a child's vocabulary is a great gift for them. That's why reading to a child starts the process and hopefully, they picky up the interest, and take it the rest of the way. Overall, a person possessing good vocabulary always stands out and is impressive. Now, your child may need to warm up to the whole idea. For now let's try a
simple challenge.
