To Create a Good Story

To create a good story:

1. Make Your Characters Real

   Make them sound like real people. This way your readers will be able to understand them easily. Remember the co-ordination between your characters and readers will help to make your stories more popular.

2. Always Maintain Suspense

   Keeping a little suspense in the story will get your reader hooked to the story and may want to read more. If doing in parts/chapters then always leave off at the interesting part that would make the reader want to read more and would also make him/her wonder about what happens next!

3. Unique Characters

   Give each of your characters a unique personality. Don’t try to give the same personality to two characters. After all, no two people are same!

4. Starting

   Always start with a catchy sentence. You know, “Once Upon A Time” is such a lame starting that it makes readers roll their eyes and turn to another story. You don’t want that, do you? Have such a starting that it won’t have much action but will give readers an idea what sort of story it might be. Like

“Harry Johnson lived alone in an apartment in the heart of London. He was detective and didn’t like people prying around so he had few friends. Just Mark David and …”

1. Middle

   It’s my experience as to never have a middle part of the story planned. If you have a good storyline and an idea of the ending, the story will unfold by itself. Once you make your character feel like real, they will take charge of the story and all you have to do is write all that down. Your characters will handle the situation themselves. I know this sounds bizarre here but once you know the feeling you’ll understand. And the feeling will come when you start writing!

2. Endings

   Always try to give an unexpected ending. That makes the story all together exciting. It helps if you want to be a famous writer.

3. Descriptions

   Remember too many descriptions don’t make a good story. Add a little descriptions to create the right atmosphere but don’t bombard the reader with descriptions!
