DAY THREE: WRITING AND ILLUSTRATING A PICTURE BOOK

PHASE ONE: Step 3

3. SOLVING THE PROBLEM: After I know who I'm writing about and what the problem to overcome is, I brainstorm ideas on how the character can solve the problem. Then I choose the 3 best or most interesting ideas. (Things seem to balance better in art or in literature in threes or odd multiples). These things will provide the framework for the story.
