Tonight I’ve sat and gone through project three, my personal favourite for many reasons and I’m happy with the results so far. Either tomorrow or in a few days I plan to go back to it and edit again, eliminate everything wrong with it etc. As it’s a rhyming story it is somewhat harder to polish up as there are challenging restrictions but in two hours I’ve managed to do a significant rewrite on the original, so I’m going to leave it there and let the dust settle for now.
Currently, my google searches mostly consist of
- “What rhymes with …”
- “Synonyms for …”
They have helped massively.
If you’ve written a rhyming story, have you got any advice or tips you’d like to share?

I love rhyming stories and my little boy does too. One day I’d love to write one but it’s not easy. I think children are the most vocal critics.
When I was writing poems I found reading others in the same style helped. You could read a few rhyming takes like Julia Donaldson and soon everything you say and think will be in rhyme lol

Yes I have a lot of her books, some inspired the rhyming dragon story. I think if Julia can do it then so can I.

Very true. I think publishers went off rhyming books for a while as they are tricky to translate into other languages but they are so popular they are here to stay. Good luck x

I heard that too. My aim for this project is to also write it as prose, that was the original plan so I might challenge myself and let agents know I have two versions of the same story.
