Writing as a hobby is one of the fruitful pastimes for the children. It is an effective means of self- expression for the children. They can explicitly express many untold things through their writings without facing the crowd.

Writing is all about creativity and there are no fixed rules or formula for it. Inspiration for writing can be acquired only when you start looking for the poetics and beauty in everyday moments and objects.

Different styles of writing works

Ideally there are four types of writing styles that are adopted by most writers. You can choose any of the styles of writing that you are most comfortable with. These are:

Narrative writing: in this style of writing, the writer narrates the story by placing himself or herself as the character.

Descriptive writing: in this form of writing, the writer describes in great detail an event, a place or a character.

Persuasive writing: in this writing style the writer tries to reason and justify the point that she or he is voicing about to the readers.

Expository writing: this writing style is basically subject-oriented in which the prime focus of the writer is to tell the readers, with relevant figures and facts, about a particular subject or topic.
