When I first read this blog I was like I really do not know how I am going to incorperate magic into my story. Simply because I have grown out of that stage and I do not really know what kids enjoy in a book. I am going to try my best to do this you guys but if you have any suggestions please let me know when you comment.
The first thing that I was thinking was since at the begining of the story they do not like eachother. When they have dinner with eachother have like a "niceness" spell in their drinks and then they become friend.
Second thing was have one of them fall while they are at recess and the meaness falls out of them and then that character realizes that it should not matter where they come to to be friends.
Then I thought that maybe I should have one of the characters go to like the magic tree and wish for a good friend and the friend is other character.

Well Taj I really like the first, because it seems devious for both of them to do it to each other. Well make it seem like they were messing around with the potions and made a friendship potion and wanted to see if it worked and they tried it on each other. As well you could make a falling star come down and them both see and wish to like each other that could be a mystical feature.
ReplyDeleteGood job and good ideas. I hope I helped out.
Have a good night. =]
Hmmm you seem unsure on what to do. How about...I KNOW! After the two friends break up, one friend could go to a magical talking object of some sort which becomes his new best friend forever!
ReplyDeleteOr...You can have the two characters as friends...and then, one character gets a potion which changes his appearance into something else (i.e. he could be a grasshopper turning into a rabbit) then the two could argue (since the other "Friend" doesn't like how his new friend looks) and no longer be friends!
I have a ton more ideas but I don't want to fill this blog with them...Hope I helped!
Have a nice night =D
Uh, I don't understand how you are going to incorporate magic into your folk tale either. I am not sure about the spiking someone drink thing though. lol It seems to... not grown, but it does seem like a children or a positive story anymore. You stated in your first post that the story is about the acceptance of one another. I think put a spell on something or "knocking the meaness" out is defeating the purpose. I think you should go back to the drawing board with this one. It is not going to be a easy task.
