November is National Novel Writing Month and we want to hear your stories. Don’t have a story yet? Here’s an idea to get you started. Find a bucket or box, look around your house for a variety of small toys and other household items (Legos, paper clips, keys, candy, dolls, etc.), put the items into the bucket, then pull them out one by one working each object into your story as you go along.
Here’s mine:

A long time ago, there was a boy with scraggly brown hair (doll). However this boy’s hair wasn’t regular scraggly brown hair, it was magic. It could heal people that were sick (cough drop). One day this boy heard that there was a terrible disease on the other side of the kingdom. At least 40 people were sick and needed help (block with the number “10″ on four sides). The boy couldn’t leave his home so he cut off all his scraggly hair (scissors) and gathered it in a blue a ribbon (piece of ribbon). He pinned the lock of hair (clothes pin) to the tale of the fastest horse in the kingdom (Lego horse). Then he sent the horse to the village. When the horse reached the village the doctor took the boy’s lock of hair and brushed it against all the sick people. The next day everyone was well again. The people of the village sent the horse back to the boy with a special golden key pinned to the horse’s tale as thanks for saving their village (key). The End.

Now it’s your turn. Bring us your story and we may put it up on the Youth Blog.
Happy writing!
