Girls typically have higher-pitched voices than boys, but this isn't always the case. For example, Scarlett Johansson is known for her deep voice. Play around with your voice to see how you want to sound while you're wearing your disguise. It's helpful to practice your voice with someone you trust who can give you an opinion about how you sound. To help you change your voice, look up videos online that offer tips on how to sound more like a boy or girl, depending on your disguise. Additionally, take shorter strides and try to keep your knees close together and your elbows pressed in toward your body. Girls typically shrink to take up less space, so keep that in mind as you move around. Walk slowly when you're getting used to walking more like a girl. If you're wearing heels, be careful that you don't fall or stomp around. Give yourself time to get used to them. Squat slightly to make your spread-leg stance appear more natural. Additionally, hunch your shoulders forward slightly. To avoid using your hands too much, put them in your pockets or carry something you can play with, such as your phone. Boys don't use their hands as much when they talk. Additionally, they usually keep their hands occupied. It can also help to keep your movements more stiff. Society often teaches girls to be more modest, so it's common for them to sit with their legs together or with one leg crossed over the other. Adopting either of these poses while you're sitting will help you appear more like a girl. This is especially important if you decided to wear a dress. If you don't keep your legs together, people are going to see up your skirt. Males often feel more comfortable when they spread their legs and arms when sitting. This is because of the way their body is constructed. Some people call this tendency to spread out "manspreading." If you want people to think you're a boy, sitting with your knees apart and your arms stretched out around you can help. Don't worry about taking up too much space when you're "manspreading." Remember, there's no one way to be a boy or a girl, so what you want to talk about will depend on your own preferences. Think about the type of boy or girl you would like to be, then pick topics that seem like they fit with your desired self-image. For example, both boys and girls can like sports.

Take long strides and walk with your legs apart to look like a boy. Sit with your legs crossed or your knees together if you're pretending to be a girl. Spread out when you sit if you're pretending to be a boy. Talk like the type of girl or boy you want to be.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you can't think of a topic to write about, open up a newspaper or read the news online. When you find an interesting headline, read the whole story closely. Think about the big picture behind the story, and use that to help inspire what you want to write about. If you write a blog about technology, for instance, you might start each day by reading up on the latest tech news. If you see a story about a new technology in development, a change in policy that could affect tech startups, or a scandal that could potentially hurt a big player in the industry, you could write a blog post discussing the implications of that story. If you're writing fiction, you could expand upon the story by writing your own take of what happened. One of the best ways to find inspiration for writing is to read constantly. Not only will reading help you learn new things, but seeing what inspires others may inspire you. In addition, frequent reading will help improve your own writing, because you'll naturally start to mimic the style of other successful writers, whether you're writing for an online publication or you want to publish a novel. Read works by writers you love or hate, or by writers you've never heard of. What really matters is that you're reading. Find a magazine on a topic you are interested in, and skim the pages. For instance, you might open up a copy of National Geographic and look for a new discovery. Poetry can also be a great source of inspiration. Try reading one of your favorite poems, but look at it from the perspective of a writer, rather than just a reader. If you need ideas for something to write about, watch a movie, but keep a notebook nearby, and try to avoid getting lost in the plot. Instead, look for characters to build off of, dialogue to work with, or landscapes to set your stories in. Then, use these elements to write your own story or novel. Movies can also offer great ideas on dialogue, characters, or scenery. Go to a museum or an art gallery, or look at art blogs or databases online. If you see something that you really love, write down all the details of the artwork, including your thoughts and feelings about the piece. Then, expand upon what you wrote in a short story or poem. When you find a piece of art that speaks to you, it can engage your imagination, giving you a world of new ideas to write about. Select a page from a newspaper, magazine, or book and grab a black permanent marker. Glance at the page, and look for words that strike you. Make a line through the words you don't want to use with your marker, leaving just a few words. The remaining words make up your poem. You can experiment with blacking out many words to make short poems, or only blacking out some words to make longer poems. You can write a broad narrative using nouns, verbs, and adjectives, or create a more coherent story using words like "is," "of," and "the." This creative exercise can help inspire you to create more written work, or you might decide you want to dedicate more time to crafting blackout poetry.

SUMMARY:
Find a news story for inspiration. Read a book, blog, or magazine for new ideas. Watch a movie for inspiration. Look at a piece of art and write about how it makes you feel. Try creating "blackout poetry" from a page of text.
