CHALLENGE 2: Write a 500-word story

Write a story, of about 500 words, about a time when having a positive attitude made things turn out well.

You can set your story in any place or time - on another planet, in an imaginary world, in the past, the future - or in your own house if you like.

Create some good characters - two, three or four different characters perhaps. Your central character can be anyone - a girl like yourself, an animal, an alien, a mermaid ... you decide.

Your story must be a complete story with a beginning, middle and end. Decide how the story is going to end before you start writing. Don't make it too complicated - you don't want to confuse your reader.

One more tip: a good story usually has some kind of surprise for the reader near the end.

Use the form below to submit your story. You can either type/paste your story into the box provided, or, if you'd prefer to write it by hand, upload photos or scans.

Have fun!
