Billy Bob Buttons

Edward, an author, better known as Billy Bob Buttons, lives in Stockholm, Sweden. He came to visit our school today to give us some tips on our writing. We have been learning techniques on how to write adventure stories - we looked at how to build up ideas and how planning is important - give your characters skills and weaknesses and introduce these at the beginning of your story. If you know something is coming up later, it will need to appear so that your story makes sense.

Ticking time bomb - include a time frame and then consistently remind your audience with a countdown to remind them that time is running out.
When writing adventure books:
*The verb is the most important thing
*You need to continue to speed up your pace ( make your sentences shorter as you go along)
*Don't use lots of adjectives
*Keep the amount of speech you use to a minimum

We got to ask Edward questions and found out more about him.
He explained to us that he loves writing books as it gives him a great feeling that other people enjoy
his writing.
We discovered that " I THINK I MURDERED MISS!" is his fastest selling book.
He told us that the title is very important as it makes the reader want to read on. Also, it tells you what the book's about. The length of the title is not very important,it just as to appeal to your target audience.
