Q: No matter how old you are, if you want to be a great writer, you must be a great reader, too! Read as often and as much as you can. If you aren't sure what books to read, don't be afraid to ask your teacher or school librarian for some suggestions. Reading is a great way to get a better idea of what sort of writing you actually enjoy reading. When you read new books and find one you really like, take a moment to think about why you like it. What is so great about the story? Does it have really fantastic characters, or setting? Use the things you like in books you read as examples of how to write those things yourself. Just like doctors must learn from other doctors, writers must learn from other writers. You might like a specific kind of book, but try to read lots of different kinds of books to learn things from different kinds of writers. It might not seem like anything exciting or interesting happens in your life, but you can still use it as a place to begin your own stories. It can be as easy as taking something that might seem plain or simple, and changing it into something interesting and new. For example, if you wanted to write a story about a superhero, use the backdrop of your everyday life to form your new character. Maybe your superhero is a kid just like you, and one day at school, discovers his powers. You can also use settings and locations you are familiar with in real life and write a fictional story set in these places. For example, maybe there's a creepy old house somewhere in your neighborhood. You could write a story about someone who goes into the creepy old house to investigate, and finds something they didn't expect. Ask your mom, dad, grandma, or grandpa to tell you stories about their lives. Learn new things about what life was like when they were kids, and learn about people in your family you don't know very well, or at all. If you are writing fiction (a story that isn't real or true), you can use stories from your family's history as a starting point, but change names, places, and details to fit your ideas. If you are writing nonfiction (a story that is true), make sure your family knows you are writing about them, and that they feel comfortable sharing their stories and histories for you to write about. Maybe you studied something in school that really caught your interest, like a historical event, or an interesting person. Use the things you like and are interested in to find ideas for your stories. Your hobbies count here, too. For example, if you really like horseback riding, maybe you could write a story about a character who also rides horses. Or, if you like soccer, maybe your main character could be a famous athlete. Think of your interests and hobbies, and then do some research on these things for even more inspiration. Use your school's library, or ask your parents' permission to do an internet search on the subject.
A: Read a lot of books. Use your own life as inspiration. Explore your family history for stories and ideas. Do some research on people, places, and things you're interested in.

Q: A memory palace must be a place or route that you are incredibly familiar with, like your childhood home or even your daily commute to work. It can be as small as your closet or as large as your entire neighborhood. The important thing is that you're able to visualize the place in your head without actually seeing it in real life. Other options for memory palace locations include school, church, work, a vacation spot you visit frequently, or a friend's house. Decide how you'll travel through the palace in your mind rather than just picturing a fixed place. For example, instead of just imagining your house, imagine how you'd walk through it. Do you enter through the front door? What hallway do you walk down? What rooms do you go to? If you need to remember things in a certain order, follow a specific route through your palace, both in the real world and in your mind. Beginning to practice your route now will make it easier to memorize later on, too. Think about exactly what you're going to be putting in your memory palace, whether it's a number, name, or important dates you need to remember for an exam. You'll store each piece of data in a separate location so you need to identify as many locations as you have data. Each storage spot needs to be unique so that you don't accidentally mistake one spot for another. If your palace itself is a route, like your drive to work, choose landmarks along the way. Some examples include your neighbor's house, a traffic light, a statue, or a building. If your palace is a structure, consider separating information in different rooms. Then, within each room, identify smaller locations like paintings, pieces of furniture, or decor. On a piece of paper, sketch your memory palace or, if it's a route, map it out. Mark the landmarks or storage locations you've chosen. Close your eyes and try visualizing the palace in your head. Then check your mental image against the drawing to make sure you have remembered every location and that you've put them in the correct order. Picture the landmarks in as much detail as possible. Make sure your mental image includes their colors, sizes, smells, and any other defining characteristics. If your mental image doesn't match your drawing, review the drawing a few more times and then try again. Repeat until you can visualize it perfectly. Another option to practice visualizing your palace is to recite it to a friend. Walk them through the route verbally while they look at the map you drew to compare.
A: Choose a place that can be easily visualized as the blueprint for your palace. Walk through your palace to define a route. Identify specific locations in the palace to store your information. Practice visualizing your finished palace by physically drawing it.
