Tips

• Write it as soon as you can, while the details are fresh. Use the notes you took at the time.
• Stick to facts: what you saw, heard and did. Leave out opinions and guesses.
• Cover who, what, when, where and how. Leave out why unless someone told you; then quote them.
• Use exact times, and put people's exact words in quotation marks.
• Describe people by what you saw: clothing, build, height, and which way they went.
• Write in the first person, in the order things happened.
• Don't erase. Cross out a mistake with one line and initial it.
