This document provides information on writing effective story leads. It discusses how leads act as a "potato" that readers and writers want to dig up. Leads help writers figure out where the story is growing and act as an organizational, motivational, and starting point. The document then reviews four types of leads: descriptive leads that create a picture, dialogue leads that start with character conversation, thinking leads that begin with a character's thought, and action leads that set up the story conflict. It emphasizes that great leads get readers asking questions to keep them engaged in the story. The document encourages practicing asking both surface and deeper questions about leads to help develop stories.
The document criticizes people who write just to gain attention or praise from others rather than writing meaningfully from another person's perspective. It suggests that if the goal is attention, one should go on reality TV instead of pretending to be a writer by posting random, self-centered pieces. True writing should make the reader feel something and be told from someone else's point of view in an intelligent way that resonates with multiple people.
This document provides guidance on creating character maps to develop fictional characters for stories.

Completing a character map for each major character helps authors fully imagine their characters and understand them in depth.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
