STORY SPARKS
 GET STARTED
People loveto ask authors where they find their ideas. The truth
is, every writer has aunique answer to that question. Sometimes a
character idea sparks the beginning of a story. Or you might overhear
-aconversation while walking down the street one day, and suddenly
inspiration strikes. Stories are everywhere — if you know where

In this book, you'll gather story ideas, create

or create your own graphic novel? This is the

book for you!

 THAT SCROLL IS MY
WORK -IN-PROGRESS.

FIND YOUR IDEA

Maybe you want to write a story, but you don’t have a BIG IDEA
yet. That’s okay! Not every idea has to be a big one. And some small
ideas can grow and grow.

One way to come up with ideas is to keep a scroll — er, journal — of

your own life. You don’t have to write pages and pages (but you can
if you want tol).

You might be thinking, But this is a story

about dragons! Their lives are much more

and some of them can breathe fire, or breathe
underwater, or poison enemies with their
tails or their magical death spit . . .

ina cave). |

happening?Is there a war going on? Is there a prophecy to end it?

Others like to start with the who: Who are your characters? Are your
dragons warm and protective like Clay? Optimistic and excitable
like Sunny? Sarcastic and tough like Glory? Smart and nervous like
Starflight? Or strong and impulsive like Tsunami?

And other writers like to start with the where: Where does the story
take place? Are there different environments, like the Kingdom of
the Sea and the Rainforest Kingdom? Is there magic? What kind of
history does this world have?

to start with the who, skip to Chapter 2, and if you like to start with

 CHOOSE A NAME
Choosing the right name for your dragon is important. Would Sunny
seem quite as bright and bubbly if she were called Quicksand? Peril
IS pretty perilous to most dragons! And Deathbringer’s name is
perfect for an assassin — even one who makes a lot of jokes!

In Pyrrhia, dragons’ names are usually related to their tribes. Having

a naming theme helps establish who your dragon is and tells us
something about the community to which they belong.

CREATE YOUR DRAGON

Every adventure needs an interesting character at its center. No
matter the conflict, no matter the world, your dragon’s choices drive
what happens in your story. To understand why they make the
choices that they do, you have to understand who your dragon is.

Look back at the dragon you created in Chapter 1, or think about

another dragon you love, and write a backstory for them. Where do
they come from? Who else is in their family? How does their family
treat them? What have they done since the day they hatched? What’s
the most significant thing that’s ever happened to them before the
story starts? Where are they now?

Ask yourself a lot of questions about each character,

TUI TIP especially about what made them the way they are.

exactly what they look like, from the color of their scales,
to the shape of their wings, to the length of their tail.

Is your dragon brightly colored like Glory or Kinkajou?

Huge like Morrowseer, or tiny like Anemone? Do they
have venom-barbed tails like SandWings, or star-speckled

 EXPRESSIONS AND EMOTIONS
In novels, you can get right inside a character’s head. In graphic
novels, you can show thoughts in bubbles, but much of what a
character feels has to come through in their expressions.

DESIGN YOUR CONTINENT

When the dragons you create go on an adventure, their quest may
take them across a sprawling, complicated world. Pyrrhia is a huge
continent populated by seven different tribes that inhabit vastly
diverse environments.

You may start with an idea for what your world looks like and how
it works, or you may prefer to discover it with your dragons, one
wingbeat at a time. However you build your world, there’s one
thing you WILL need if you create a fantasy series like Wings of
Fire: a map!

Sketch the outlines of your dragon’s world! Include important

landmarks like palaces, forests, mountains, and deserts. Add to
your map as you learn more about the world. You might even find a
lost continent as your world expands...

Think of cool places you've been or would like

to go... . Can you include a version of them in your
world’s map?

 ACTUALLY, I
WAS WONDERING
IF YOU KNEW
THE RULES.

CHOOSE YOUR RULES

Pyrrhia exists in its own universe, but some
fantasy stories take place in our world, or
in a world with secret portals between one
world and another. When creating YOUR
dragon world, it’s important to know what
rules govern it. This means thinking about
everything from whether your dragons
are at the top of the food chain, like they
are in Pyrrhia, to whether magic is part of
this world.

Where do your dragons live? Are they in

hiding in the remote places on Earth, one
of many mystical creatures humans wonder
about but rarely see? Do they have their own
world, free from any scavenger influence? Or
will stepping through a door in your attic
that you've never seen before let you sneak
into their story?
 Create the rules of your world!

 SEARCH FOR MAGIC
In Pyrrhia, only animus dragons can cast spells — and they have to
have an object to enchant. Too many enchantments and an animus
dragon risks turning evil. NightWings can read minds and predict
the future — but what if you don’t like the future you see or the
thoughts that you hear? Magic comes with consequences!

Dragon worlds don’t have to be magical. You could create a world

where dragons can fly and breathe fire, and even have poisonous
tails or venom but can’t enchant anything. Or maybe your dragons
could all learn to do magic, but only some of them want to learn.

What kind of magic would you like to write about? Check off the
types of magic you'll include in your world!

' WE CHOOSE TO.

RECORD YOUR HISTORY

Your dragons may not be caught up in a prophecy and tasked
with ending a war, but the history of your world still affects their
adventures. Decisions made by other dragons — or scavengers —
decades or hundreds or even thousands of years ago have ripple
effects into the present. Queen Oasis’s death led to the War of
SandWing Succession, but dragons and scavengers have a history
that stretches clear back to the Scorching!

Ask yourself questions about how the world got to

be this way. Who's in charge? How did they get their —
power? Has it always been the same family or group, er
or was there ever a war or revolution that changed the balance ot power oe
along the way? Think of the world like a character — the more you know _
about its backstory, the more interesting it'll be!

THIS REALLY /S THE

KINGDOM OF SAND!

DESCRIBE YOUR TERRAIN

Pyrrhia is a continent of extremes. The Ice Kingdom and the Kingdom
of Sand have totally different climates, and life in the Kingdom of
the Sea would be nothing like life in the Rainforest Kingdom. And
the NightWing kingdom has its own secret challenges .. .

What does YOUR world look like? Are there dark, mysterious forests?
Rolling hills and valleys with cool, clear lakes? Steep mountains
with ice caps, or endless canyons of red rock? Do your dragons live
on warm islands in the middle of an ocean, or do they build ice
palaces next toa glacier?

 FRIENDLY NEIGHBORS,
DEADLY FOES...
Pyrrhia may be home to all different tribes of dragons, but other
creatures call it home, too. Dragons have learned to coexist with
scavengers and sloths, sometimes peacefully and sometimes not so
much. And you can find all kinds of different animals across the
many habitats of Pyrrhia.

Create the creatures that share your dragon’s world!

Some of those creatures aren’t friends OR foes — they're food! Clay’s
favorite thing to eat is a cow, but he’d be perfectly happy with a
whale . .. or a camel . . . or a polar bear . . . or literally anything edible.

What lives in the world you've created that your dragons might
like to eat? Are your dragons carnivores (meat-eaters) or herbivores
(vegetarians)? Or happy omnivores who'll eat anything (like Clay!)?

Create a meal your dragons would find delicious!

 BUILD YOUR
COMMUNITIES
In Pyrrhia, each of the seven tribes has
adapted to live well in their kingdom.
IceWings can handle the cold of the Ice
Kingdom, and RainWings can camouflage
their scales to match the lush plant life of
the Rainforest Kingdom.

But it’s not just their kingdoms that make the

tribes distinct. Each tribe has its own unique
society. MudWing culture is all about sibling
groups. RainWings take turns being queen,
or choose their queens through a contest
instead of a fight to the death. SeaWings have
their own special language, Aquatic. And
NightWings prefer to keep secrets from the
other tribes.

What makes your dragon communities

special? Where do your dragons live? Do
your dragons grow up with big families or
small ones? How do they pick their leaders?
Create your dragon communities!

POWERS AND WEAKNESSES

MudWings born from blood-red eggs have fire-resistant scales.
RainWings can blend in with their environments. SandWings have
their venomous tails, SeaWings can breathe underwater, and several
tribes can breathe fire.

Dragons also have their weaknesses, and if they venture too far from
home, they might find themselves in trouble.

While fire-breathers don’t exist in our world, there ARE reptiles

that can spit venom, mammals that can spend a long time under the
water, and scorpions with lethal tails.

 WILDERNESS AND CIVILIZATION
Dragon homes in Pyrrhia are at least as varied as the different
kingdoms. Some dragons live in villages near a river delta, others in
palaces of animus-touched ice, and still others in walled cities with
narrow, winding streets in the desert.

Do your dragons live in towering skyscrapers or deep in caves

underground? Do they hunt in the rainforest for food, or trade for it
at a market stall?

Most dragonets don’t grow up under a

mountain, but everyone hatches somewhere.
Home can be wherever a dragon is with their
friends and family. A dragon’s home shows
us what matters most to them.

Create your dragon’s home, from the scrolls

on their shelves to the pictures on their walls.

 EXPLORE YOUR WORLD
If your dragon explores the world you've created, they may land
in environments where they feel totally comfortable and could live
forever. Or your dragon might discover a place that’s too scary to
even visit!

Use these images as starting points to create your world and showcase
your dragon’s adventures! You can write a story about your dragon’s
reaction to the environment or draw what they're doing there — or
add another dragon and speech bubbles to show us a conversation!

 FIND YOUR FORMAT
Wings of Fire started as a series of novels, and now there are graphic
novels, too! When a story is told in one format and then changed
so it can be told in another format, it’s called an adaptation. Wings
of Fire has been adapted into graphic novels; plenty of your other
favorite books have been adapted into graphic novels, movies, TV
shows, or even for the stage.

Adapting Wings of Fire involves a lot of teamwork! Tui works on the

Wings of Fire graphic novels in collaboration with script adapters,
the artist, the designer, the letterer, and the colorist. Here’s a glimpse
of a typical graphic novel process:

Step 4; An author creates a story Can for instance, a — of Firenovel)

Step 2:That story is crafted into a script. Some scripts are broken down
by scene, some by panel. Some are written as dialogue’ win artdirection
scattered throughout. a aS

Step 3: The art begins! First, rough sketches are retold either by the
author (if they are also an artist) or a dedicated artist. Sketches allow you
to see a rough idea of how the panels are working, where certain scenes
and lines of dialogue will fall — and give you a chance to change things
before more work is done.
Step 4: Once the sketches are all approved, it’s time to ink the final art,
with dialogue bubbles in place.
FO

Step 5: The final black-and-white art goes off to a coloristto add the _
colors, and to a letterer to add all the words!
Step 6: The author and editorial team then do a fs read to make sure -
everything looks good, fix any remaining text errors, and then . . .print!

NOVELIST OR GRAPHIC NOVELIST?

The world of Pyrrhia is complicated, and the dragons who live there
have a lot to say about it. In a novel, you can present a very detailed
story, sharing with your reader everything from the deepest history
of your world to the innermost thoughts of your characters.

Pyrrhia is a beautiful place with a variety of environments, and the

Wings of Fire stories are action-packed with a ton of dialogue. In a
graphic novel, you can show readers your vision of your world and
your characters, from your dragon’s exact expression when they're
upset to the grandeur of a royal palace.

What is the right format for YOUR story? If you love writing about
your characters’ thoughts and describing your world and history,
you might prefer to write a novel.

If you love writing fast-paced action and witty dialogue paired with
gorgeous art, you might want to try a graphic novel.

In the pages ahead, you will see how one Wings of Fire scene went
from novel to script to graphic novel, and you'll have the chance to
do the same for your story.

inte -~+104>-----—-
You don’t have to be both an artist AND a writer to bea graphic
novelist. Collaborating is awesome!

If you know that a graphic novel is the right format for your
story, but you don't enjoy drawing, find a friend who does!
You can write the story and the script, and your friend can
create the art.

Or maybe you LOVE drawing and you have a friend who writes
the funniest dialogue. Work together and create a story you love!

Working with a friend on a novel can be fun, too! Take

turns writing chapters or trade off writing the dialogue and
the description.

 ; Starflight arrived last, catching on to the side and pitching forward as if
his wings had barely been strong enough to carry him. He lay there like a
woeful black puddle for a moment, taking deep breaths. Sunny hopped
over a watery footprint to nudge his wing gently.
Tsunami managed not to roll her eyes, but really. Couldn’t everyone
at least try to act a little more impressive?
“This is a really big thing!” Clay said to her and Riptide. His tail

accidentally splashed Glory, but she was too busy looking at the throne
to snap at him. “T mean, this thing we're standing on. What do you call
it? It’s really tall — taller than our prisons in the Sky Kingdom, I think.”
He peered over the edge, missing Riptide’s sharp look. Tsunami realized
they hadn't told him about being captured by Queen Scarlet and the
SkyWings.
“I like it,” Clay went on, sitting down and splashing Glory again. “Of
course, it’s much nicer to be this high when your wings are free. But at

how did you make this big thing? Did it take forever to build?”
Riptide blinked for a moment, following Clay’s train of thought. “The
on? An animus SeaWing designed it, many generations ago, and
agicked the stone to grow this way,” Riptide said. ‘Even so, it took
early ten years to reach this form.”
m “Wow,” said Clay, and Tsunami couldn't help being impressed, too.
‘She hadn't realized animus dragons had that kind of power. In their
lessons, Webs had told them animus dragons could enchant chess pieces
to play themselves. Sometimes they left curses on their jewels to poison
anyone who tried to steal them. But making a whole pavilion grow from
stone — that seemed like strong magic, more powerful than anything
the NightWings could do.
Starflight was clearly thinking the same thing, judging from his
disgruntled snout. Tsunami hurriedly interrupted before he could begin
a lecture.
“This top level is where Queen Coral meets new visitors, like us,’”” she
said importantly to her friends. “So when she arrives, everyone please act
like dragonets of destiny instead of half-drowned seagulls, for goodness’
sake.”
Sunny looked wounded, and Starflight sniffed loudly while Glory
turned up her snout like she wasn’t taking any orders from Tsunami.
Clay poked his nose over the edge and blinked at the lower pavilion tiers.
“Which level is the feasting on?” he asked. “You do have feasting,
right?” His wide brown eyes turned to Riptide. “No reason. Just
wondering.”
“Sure, sometimes we have feasts,” Riptide said. “Especially when
Queen Blister is —"

PLAN YOUR PATH

When you're ready to sit down and start creating, sometimes it can
help to look ahead and think about where you want your story to
go. This can be as simple as having a vague idea of what happens
next or as detailed as creating a chapter-by-chapter outline of what
will happen when.

Whether you decide to outline your story or not, be open to

surprise twists and turns along the way! You never know when
a certain minor IceWing character or a throwaway line about a
scary NightWing legend might become much more important than
you expected.

, Outlining isn’t for everyone! It’s okay if you like

| to jump right in and see where the story takes
you. I like to spend a lot of time on backstory and
characters and then discover the plot as I go — but
I always have a few of the big story twists planned ahead of time!

A great cover compels readers to discover the story inside a book’s
pages. Every Wings of Fire book has a gorgeous cover that invites
readers into the world. These covers follow a few design guidelines
that might help YOU create your own beautiful dragon cover.

Let’s look at the cover for The Dangerous Gift!

1. This cover has one large central image of a dragon in action!

2. This cover is in vibrant color, with strong contrast between the

dragon and the background.

3. All the words on this cover, from the series title to the book title
and the author’s credit, are easy to read.

4. This cover has a detailed background that provides context about

the book’s setting but doesn’t distract from the main character.
