What are some good tips for writing poetry?
In writing poetry, one of the main things to focus on is being exact. In other kinds of writing you can use three or four sentences to express a thought, but in poetry you have to express the same thing in three or four words... so picking the right ones matters a LOT.
When you write the first draft of a poem, it is okay to use whatever words come to mind, but after that... drill down on each word... does it need to be there? Can it be cut out and still retain the overall meaning? Is there a better word to express this? Are you using multiple meanings of this word? If so, how can you show that in the rest of the poem? Focus on being as conscise as possible, without losing the idea. Even in rhyming poetry, make sure you aren't throwing in things that you don't need just to make the rhyme. Every word matters.
Is there a children's writing organization an unpublished writer can join?
It is possible to join The Society of Children's Writers and Illustrators. The Society of Children's Writers and Illustrators is commonly called SCBWI. Check out their website at www.scbwi.org. SCBWI is great because a writer doesn't need to be published in order to join. This is in contrast to the Writer's Guild where one must be published to be eligible to join. The SCBWI helps promote children's writers and illustrators as much as possible. By joining this organization, writers come in contact with other aspiring children's authors and illustrators as well as those authors and artists that are published. It is a very supportive organization. SCBWI has regional chapters that usually have a few children's writers and illustrators conferences throughout the year. The conferences are located locally. In addition, the national office of SCBWI holds two BIG national conferences each year. The first conference is in February in New York City. The second conference is in Los Angeles in August.

How do you write a ballet story?
First, you need to do a LOT of research so that you can portray the world of ballet accurately. Dancing is hard work, and most dancers actually hurt themselves trying to dance their best.
Second, find some good, solid characters with which the readers can identify.
Third, the rest is up to you as a writer. You must find the story inside your own heart for it to be a good story. I suggest reading some ballet stories and books to see how other writers have done it.
Another Opinion:
Being a dancer is very hard work. Taking ballet or a hardcore dance class would be helpful in writing a ballet story - but you don't have to. Your reader should be able to experience the hardships involved in dancing, as well as the fun.
The opinion of a dancer:
If you are writing a ballet play think of any random story and use ballet steps and ballet dances to tell the audiences what the story is.
If your writing a story about ballet dancers then it's best to watch ballets and watch students in ballet class and find out what ballet dancers do when they are not dancing in class.

How do you make up a good high school name for a story?
Schools are often named in memorial to some famous person:
- Roosevelt Franklin's Elementary School
- George Washinton's High School
- John Hopkin's University.
If you have a High School in a story I think it would be clever to name it after someone who reflects the values and perhaps faults that match the theme of the story.
James Dean High School (The Fonz attended here)
Linus Pauling High School for the exceptionally advanced (Sheldon attended here)
Answer:
As above. However choosing a name for a very obscure and quirky historic figure allows you to develop "odd" school traditions that will make your story more alive or humorous. This also provides names for school teams and school mascots which are at least embarrassing.

Writers use puns to show the characters' characteristics.

What words can you use in writing dialog instead of using 'said'?
Show who is speaking instead - have each character speak in a distinct way and use specific types of speech patterns (do they use long words and complete sentences or short words and fragments? are they educated or ignorant? do they use slang?)
You can also show who is speaking by using dialogue modifiers - sentences that show a character acting. Instead of writing "He muttered," write whatever the character said, then write "He turned his back and walked away." It is then clear that "he" is the one speaking without writing "he said" or any other term.
If you do need to state exactly who spoke, just write "he said" or "she said" - it's the shortest way to write it, and seeing those words will not jar the reader out of the story like trying to figure out what a longer word means.

Here are some good tips for writing an anime story:
- Decide what the plot of your story is before you start your storyboard. Write a short summary or synopsis which tells the basics of your storyline - this will be separate from your final storyline.
- Decide whether you are writing for a movie, which will need between 90 minutes to two hours for one complete story, or for television, which can take several hundred 30-minute stories.
- Create vivid, detailed characters - in anime, these should be as "over the top" and exaggerated as you can make them instead of being more realistic. Make the characters personalities different from each other, so you'll have a way to have more conflict in the story.
- Plan out your first episode - introduce the characters and the bare bones of the plot - just enough to get the audience interested.
- Write your first story and lay out the storyboard. How many episodes are you going to have? What plot twists will occur and when will they happen? What interesting "hook" can you have at the end of each story to make the audience want to watch the next episode?
- Each panel in your storyboard should be one scene - don't worry about the artwork at first (unless you are an artist first and a writer second), just plan out who says what and how the information will be conveyed in each scene.
- Keep up the conflict! In anime, the more outrageous the conflicts, the better. Are two of your characters interested in each other? Make it a love triangle, or even a love rectangle! Do you have a villain? Make him or her the puppet for an even more outlandish villain! Does one character have a secret identity? Make them all have secret identities that they must keep hidden from each other! The more turmoil, the better the anime.
Where can a writer find a local cartoonist as a partner for a comic book project?
