writing scary stories
13/m (not sure if this is in the right category) and sorry its so long.
ok so i like writing stories and i think that i;m quite good but i haven't done it in ages but i got interested in doing it again when the other day i had to do something in my English class its hard to explain but we got a sheet of paper and it had 1 of 4 different pictures that we had to base the story on 1 was a tiger, 1 was a Ferris wheel, one was a car with a dog kennel tied onto the top (i dont know either haha) and 1 was a setting of ghosts under a bridge type thing. and with our scene thing we had to write a opening paragraph then the teacher collected them and gave them to other people with no one knowing who wrote the original thing. then we wrote a paragraph that created a problem the the teacher collected them and gave them around to different people again then finally i got one with the ghost type setting and i was reading through and it sounded like it was getting scary so i changed it around completely and made it really funny im not being stuck up cause i showed my friends and they cracked up laughing and i also one a prize for having the best story. so i started writing a scary story the other day when i had nothing to do. i have written about a paragraph and i think its quite good but i dont really want to show anyone yet until i have finished
so does anyone have any tips for writing this story, making my stories better and just anything that will help my writing in the future
thanks alot

I think writing down ideas for your story would be a great idea, kind of like brainstorming. Be sure not to ramble on about anything, the reader may get confused or bored. Be sure to be clear on who's speaking in your story, and the details of your story. Stay consistent! You don't want to have any misleading details. Also try to make the beginning of your story interesting. Whenever I read something, I have trouble keeping focused since I always get bored in the beginning of books.... Using a wide variety of vocabulary is great too! I think it's fun using a word that makes you need to look it up in a dictionary in order for you to know the definition! Being specific about things in your story will help greatly too. I also think you should write from the heart, don't try to recreate a story, and don't write a story that's like every other scary story you've heard. Just write whatever you want. :) Reading other scary stories, or even watching some horror movies may give you inspiration if you're having trouble finding what to write about next. :) Here are a couple of great websites that can help or guide you!
