Starting A Story

I may be only thirteen, but I have some exercises and tips to use while writing.

When I decide to make a new first draft book or warm-up fan fiction, I lay out questions and answers first.

Who: Who is the main character and who are the other secondary character?

What: What is the setting? What do you want your story to be about?

When: When is the time setting? 

Where: Where are the places that my characters are supposed to go?

How: How does everything become like this?

I usually lay that out per chapter or section of the story. Like for instance. In chapter one you sort of want to explain your character. 

Red is who, blue is what, green is when, purple is where, and brown is how. 

My name is Vanilla Icecream. I go to Greensburg Middle school in seventh grade. 

I am thirteen years old and my best friends are Strawberry Topping and Chocolate Shake. They're great! Strawberry has bleach blond hair and sparkling blue eyes, whereas Chocolate has black hair that always gets in his eyes and has very dark brown eyes.

My little sister, Mocha, is eight. She has light brown hair and green eyes. Mocha is also a little model. Very adorable in my opinion. 

Mocha was about five when a talent scout had noticed her cuteness and gave my mother his card for auditions. She decided to agree to that and brought Mocha to the auditions. Now she is America's Beauty Queen. 

The descriptions on looks are what they look like, if you were wondeing. Greensburg Middle School in a place. Vanilla is a person. Do you see where they all came from? If not, ask me questions. 

That's how I usually lay it out though, and then I begin to think about what exactly should be in the chapter in a more descriptive way. 
Ex:
About: Vanilla Icecream tells the readers about her friends, Strawberry Topping and Chocolate Shake, and her younger sister, Mocha Icecream. It should also show a conversation between Strawberry, Chocolate, and her about a trip to the Land of Chocolate Pudding. 

See what I mean? I'm not saying that my ideas are better than anyone elses; in fact I'd love you hear your ways. 
That's how I started a story though, and I hope that you found this post very helpful.
