Write Your Own Quest: The Ultimate Guide to Writing Your Own Interactive Adventure ("Write Your Own" Writing Books for Kids)

You come to the end of a dark hallway.

This is how all great interactive adventures start: with a choice. From the moment Colossal Cave Adventure first hit the mainframe, readers have loved choosing their own fate. Now is your chance to tell the interactive story. To create the choices for others to make. Do you want to write about alien invasion? Time travel back to the age of dinosaurs? Dare the reader to venture into a haunted house?

The great thing about interactive storytelling is that it makes writing fun. We can all be storytellers. And as you write your story, there are no limits! Now what choices are you going to create?

For anyone interested in interactive storytelling, whether to write video games or books, this guide is the first best place to get started.
