Hi Ms Johnson 🙂 This is my answer for question 1.
There are many differences between a good writer and a great writer. One is the way it is written, i.e use of language features. Another difference is the introduction. If the reader isn’t interested then they won’t bother to read further. The detail is also very important, especially when describing the characters, settings, actions and the conflict. The plot has to be interesting and exciting and the conflict should be in depth and without an easy solution.
The difference between a good writer and a great writer is the language and the introduction has to be interesting or the reader won’t want to read any more.
I’m a fantasy writer because I like using my imagination.
I get my ideas from things I’ve seen for example a animal I could use a elephant head and a tiger body.

1)The difference between a good writer and a great writer is the language they use so a great writer would use onomatopoeia, metaphors, alliteration, similes, personification. Also a great writer would explain things in depth like the settings and characters but in a way that wouldn’t be long and boring instead short and filled. Another thing is to have a introduction that drags them in to want to know more.
2) I don’t really know what sort of writer I am but I think I am a persuasive writer because I use lots of language features like liking words, rhetorical questions, persuasive words ect.
3) I get my ideas from my imagination and books, games, movies and TV shows because they have many great ideas and when I watch or play them I always think of ways I could change them to make them better like the characters and settings.
Hi Ms Johnson 🙂 Here are my answers for questions 2. and 3.
I prefer fantasy and fiction writing oppose to just writing the facts. I love using my imagination to come up with completely new designs. My favourite part of writing is coming up with characters and the plot. This is reflected in my blog!
I usually like to explore my imagination whilst writing a narrative, however sometimes I reflect on mown experience. When reading books I occasionally think of sequels or stories connecting from those ideas. I can be inspired by ideas in a book and I then connect some of my own ideas with those in the book. I like thinking up different endings to those in the book, or a choose your own adventure.
Question Uno:
A good writer is someone who writes books that readers are interested in, but then will put away on their bookshelf for six months when they’re half-way through it. (I did this with Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, but it was a good book. I get bored when there isn’t enough book in Hogwarts.) A great writer write books that readers are unable to put down, even when they’re asked to stop reading it. An example of this is me with the Divergent Trilogy, My mum read Divergent before me, and then once I had read it, I started on the next book, Insurgent, straight away, before my mum read it. Also, when I was reading Divergent, I stayed up so late reading it that I went from about halfway through to the end. A great writer is Veronica Roth, author of Divergent, Insurgent and Allegiant. (I will never be able to write like her.)

Question 2:
As Kelsey and Ben said, I am more of a fantasy and narrative writer rather than a non-fiction writer (Which won’t really help if I become a scientist….). I find that writing fantasies or narratives allows you to write things that can only happen in your dreams, and then that makes me feel like my dreams come TRUE!!!
1. If a writer has for filled the basic techniques of writing a story but haven’t put many language conventions and descriptive words that will engage the audience, then they will be known as a good writer. But if you have a specific introduction and conclusion and many engaging word, language conventions and an engaging climax you are a great writer!
1. Well a good writer covers the basics by just telling a story a standed level with reaching the basics of each cataorgorie and a great writer uses descriptive words and engages the audience in what the writen piece is about.
2. I am learning to be a great writer by practising all the catorgories of getting a high level. I think I am between a good and great writer because I am still learning.
1) A good writer is a writer that makes people feel like they can put it down whenever. A great writer doesn’t give you that feeling.
2)I am a narrative and fantasy writer. This is because I have a wide imagination.
3)I make up my ideas in my planning and improve while writing.
Dear Ms Johnson, my answers
Q1 They aren’t scared to express their thoughts and feelings
Sorry I don’t have enough time to do the rest of the questions. I promise I’ll do them at home. (I finally have internet!)]

I am more of a fantasy writer myself but what makes the difference between a good write and a great write is what every one has already said which is the language that they use and the way that they word it.
Oh and I get all my ideas from my head and I also sort of mix stories and things that I have heard about together.
Dear Ms Johnson
I have more to add to my first question and I have the last 2 questions up now
Q1 A great writer has a great imagination, an amazing vocabulary and can grip the reader and sometimes even get the reader emotionally attached to their characters. (I know the last one because of the amount of times my older sister cries in just one book.) A good writer may still have a good imagination (otherwise they wouldn’t be a writer), but they don’t have as good a vocabulary and can’t attach the reader to their book.
Q2 I would say I am in between a good writer and a great writer, I have a great vocabulary and a good imagination, but I can’t emotionally grip the reader. I can intrigue them by the story, but I can’t make them cry like a great writer can do.
Reading other peoples answer to this question, I can see that they have put something like fiction, fantasy, non-fiction, drama,sci-fi, that sort of stuff. So speaking in that manour, I believe I am a fantasy and fiction writer. As much as I love watching Star Trek or Star Wars, I can’t write sci-fi books.
Q3 I get my ideas from other peoples stories. Sometimes an idea just pops into my head, but very rarely. Thats why I LOVE taking a text like The old house creaked as I walked through the broken door and changing it to something like The new pent house sparkled as I walked through the beautiful, giant door. I find it very easy and fun to do. ( I think thats why I got good marks on The Braveheart, my pegasus story.)
Thanks for taking the time to read this enourmous comment

Question San: (I like using different languages. :D)
My ideas come from all over the place!!! Sometimes I’ll look around the classroom or where ever I am when I am writing, I’ll see an object and BAZINGA! I have an idea! Sometimes it’s not so easy and it takes a while for inspiration to come to me. So I read out a spell and my inspirations, good and bad, come to me. Yeah, no. That’s a plot for an episode of a tv show. When my inspirations are stuck and clogged up in a pipe leading to the section of my brain that gets the inspirations, I sit and think, and then after a while I’ll get something. Sometimes I base my writing off episodes from television. I remember one time I wrote something and I was inspired by iCarly. I think it was the episode where they spy on their teacher. (I would never do something like that, just so you know Ms. Johnson.) Sometimes I WON’T be able to get inspiration and I’ll sit there and do nothing for like 15 minutes until I actually realize that I was given a topic (that rarely ever happens) .

3. It is always fun to create unique written pieces, so when I’m writing I think of things new ideas. Overall if I really can’t think of anything to write about I use movies and books to give me ideas but not copy.
Part 2 of question 2. Also I think I am a fantasy writer because I love creating different things like werid characters and settings. Although the problem and events are also really fun creating in a fantasy narrative.
1. there are many differnecs between s good writer and a great writer eg: better words/ conjuctions and punctuation
2.I’m a fantasy writer but im not verry good at writing stories or making them up
