Writing Challenge #26: A Gingerbread Mystery

Posted by Tara Benwell on December 7, 2010

Have you ever tried to write a mystery? It's not as easy as you think! I recently wrote a mystery for English learners called "The Case of the Missing Ring".

Here are some things I learned about mystery writing:

1. Don't give away "who did it" until the end.
2. Give hints along the way. (The plot must thicken.)
3. Make each character look slightly guilty. (Each one needs a motive.)
4. Give the detective a unique personality.
5. Build interesting relationships between the characters.

It was fun writing

True Confessions of an Addict

Posted by Ohnie on December 7, 2010

My name is Ohnie and I’m an addict.

It’s really difficult to hear my self say it. And even after finally being able to admit it, still, sharing it is a big challenge. But I feel that for my sake and for those who care for me, I need to come out clean. Hopefully, I can start from here.

At first, I wasn’t interested in trying it. But I did it, anyways. Why? I wasn’t exactly sure myself. Could it be boredom? Curiosity? Maybe I wanted to experiment? Or perhaps, I needed to prove something?

I don’t quit

"Great opportunities to help others seldom come, but small ones surround us every day." -Sally Kock-

Sometimes I wonder if it is necessary for others to know what and how we helped others. Because sometimes I can feel that I have to justify all my actions even if it's just a little act of kindness. Honestly, I always feel shy to say the kindness I have done for others and the reason for this is something I myself cannot understand why. I'm really very sorry if I don't know why I'm shy, maybe bec

My grandfather

My grandfatherMy grandfather went off when I was only five years old, but he always lives in my heart.He was a teacher in elementary school, and also the principal. He used to take me to school with his bicycle so that I was very interested in school life even when I was still too young to study in school. I was afraid of my grandfather because he was very strict in me after I was enrolled in school. Once, my grandfather was very angry and confined me in his room for the whole day, when he was t

Why English?

Posted by Frank DiSalle on December 3, 2010

Why is it important to learn English? Why does it seem English is spoken everywhere?I gave those questions very serious thought, and even asked other people. I forgot who suggested it, but the idea that the British had a worldwide empire certainly contributed to the fact that English is nearly universal. But even though the British Empire began to fade after World War II, it is still an important language, and it is still spoken in its former colonies.This story will introduce yet another reason

Difference!

Posted by Lynne on December 3, 2010

Do you know the difference between the sky and the heavens,between heaven and earth,between the air that we breath and the air that we feel,between right and wrong,between bright and dark,between happy and sad,between each other,between men and women,between an excellent idea and a devastating one?The attributes which give contrasting directions are just like dissimilar notes in a song!Couldn't we just submerge our differences and gather the wonderful thoughts you and I can make together?-Lynne

Whose footprints?

It's mine!!

I like roaming around the beach and drawing with my feet from time to time.

I enjoy lots of naughty waves to chase together, the approachable breeze to welcome me with a smile and the gentle sky to be there with me all the time.

What a pleased day I have!And hope everyone also have a lovely day.Sound from the nature..(I was taught by Anele that how to post the video on EC.)
