      Anyone can be a writer．You just put your pencil on your paper and write what you like to read，step by step：

      ● Interest the reader right at the beginning．You can start your stories with dialogue or action．If you can make the reader ask questions，then he has to keep reading to find out the answers．
      ● Follow the steps．The steps for every story are almost the same：Introduce the characters and the conflict （争端）；things get worse；all seems lost；the hero saves the day!
      ● Balance is the key．Remember，when writing，it doesn't hurt to add some humor （幽默）．
