Learning To Write A Great Fiction Story
The Bearcademy is the place in the Bearventures story where the bears learnt to craft their skills as ‘Bearventurers’ and gets them ready for their adventure to explore the Bearlagos for their missing friend, and here at the Bearcademy.com is where we can learn adventure ‘bear-style’, which is all about using imagination and creativity as they solve problems along the way. Each story is crafted in short-story, bite-size parts so it has room to diverge and grow as episodes evolve.
The Bearventures book series is an example of short-story episodes that get you thinking imaginatively and problem-solving (via an imaginative world), and we take these lessons into the fiction writing (and storytelling) course. No matter what your age, we can all benefit from creative thinking in life, to keep our mind sharp or to make life more interesting. Through the course we can help foster your creativity for life or work, and show you how to market your creative work!

WHAT OUR READERS SAYS
Find out what more of our readers thought of the Bearventures journeys in our reviews section.
BEARVENTURES BACKGROUND STORY
Bearventures came about, like most stories do, in a non-linear way – via a playful discussion from its two writers, who saw a connection between a teddy bear, child, and parent in a park one day and which fed an idea to explore this interaction and adventure of what a bear may see further.



The story itself was still a blank canvas and which grew from the idea of 3 black dots that helped identify one particular small teddy bear one of the writers had, amongst a bunch of similar looking marshmallows.
Oh how 3 simple dots could turn into a character that provoked emotion when those 3 dots vanished!
What followed was an exploration of imagination, where one simple visual could spark a whole journey and story and which fed one idea to the next. The focus became on making a journey that could also be imaginative and interactive for the readers to find a connection with.
Another aim was to illustrate how anyone can escape the daily grind of life by putting pen to paper and just let thoughts flow. The therapeutic value is immense, and regardless of your writing ability the creative output can help make your day better.
The idea of using minimal graphics (other than the bears and map look) and a general story outline (within the Bearlagos – the Bearworld), was purposefully done to help trigger the readers imagination of their own idea of what the Bearlagos world could look and feel like if they were in the eyes of the bear characters themselves.
Releasing in bite-sized episodes helps to spur and encourage readers imaginations to create their own versions of ‘what happens next‘ in-between the release of the next episode, so readers get to fill in the blanks and let their imagination wander, so-to-speak (and also apply that method in the connected writing course).
