Professional Writing Tips
Use Your Senses

"The burnt toast crackled in my mouth while rain drummed against the window."
Create Contrast
Use opposites to make your writing more interesting
"The tiny mouse stood bravely before the enormous, sleeping dragon."
Ask 'What If?'
Use imagination to create unique situations
"What if gravity stopped working for just one day?"
Use Strong Verbs
Replace weak verbs with powerful action words
"She sprinted (not ran), he whispered (not said), it shattered (not broke)."
Exam Success Tips
Time Planning
Spend 5 minutes planning, 20 minutes writing, 5 minutes checking. A good plan makes writing faster and better.
Strong Openings
Start with action, dialogue, or an intriguing statement. Avoid boring beginnings like 'My name is...' or 'Once upon a time...'
Show Don't Tell
Instead of 'I was scared', write 'My hands trembled as I reached for the door handle.' Use action and description.
Strong Endings
End with impact - resolution, twist, or emotional moment. Make sure your ending connects to your beginning.
