We tried to make a kite last night. 

I tied a piece of cardboard to a stick. Nick painted a face on it. We fixed some kind of ribbon tail at the other end. 

We liked it: its colours, its shape, its face, the smile attached to it. We needed some space for the kite to fly. We liked the story the two of us created on the spot: a lonely kite befriending the air. The kite carried by the wind.

The wind and the kite, the two of them, went to the other side of the world. 

The end.

Talking to a Fox

If a non-human being appears in your story, you may want to know some things about it.  Let's say one of your story characters is a fox. Here's a list of questions to consider: 1. Where does the fox come from? 2. Where does it live? 3. Does it live alone or with other foxes? Or with someone else? 4. What is good about this animal? What's not so good? 5. What does it need? What does it want? 6. What does it love, like, enjoy? What does it dislike? 7. Did something happen in the past? Does the fox have a secret? 7. What role does the fox play in the story?  8. Is it dangerous? 9. Does it have a message to you? I hope you'll enjoy answering tbe questions. Good luck!

-ing, to do, or both are correct, with a different meaning

When two verbs meet, there are three possible situations: 1. The second verb needs an -ing ending, e.g.  I enjoy dream ing . 2. The verbs need "to" in between them, e.g.  I want to stay at home today. 3. The verbs stay themselves, needing nothing to add, e.g. We can help you! Some verbs take an -ing ending at one situation, and to at another. The meaning is different in each case. Compare: She stopped swimming and took some rest. While he was hiking through the forest, he noticed a beautiful lake, so he stopped to swim.
