Tip for storymakers;
When writing a story, as you all know, it's better to plan beforehand, instead of leaping right into action. Most see it as a tedious or confusing task, unless you put it under three smaller catagories to help you plan your story:
1. Who are the good guys and the bad guys? What makes themselves good or bad?
2. What will be the main conflict, the trouble that will be influenced by the bad guys?
3. How do you want the story to end? How you want the reader to feel during the end?And after you've completed those mental thoughts, you could also begin a chapter plotting. A chapter plotting is something I do myself, at least, I am uncertain if others do as well, but I will make a list of all of the chapters I want to have. I'll name them and give a summary of what I want to happen in the chapter.
After all of this exhausting planning is done, of course you've probably made your characters. That means it's time to begin! But make sure to hold the prespective seriously. Add color to your sentances. For example;
Dont = Cole sat on his balcony, swinging on the chair of his rocking seat.
Do = Cole sat on his balcony at midnight, feeling the eerie breeze buffet his t-shirt here and there. He sat upon his rocking chair, gazing up into the stars.
That's where you'll just start writing. After you've gotten from beginning to end, it's good to reread the entire story and adjust dull scenes. It's important you take the time to do all of your editing, checking fluency, spelling, and grammar.
Fluency tip;Dont = Nicki was so bored, and so she went to sleep.
Do = Nicki was too bored, so she went to sleep.

All accepted! Hey, OwlDust, I wanna add some stuff to the tips.
Here we go, time to start droning about writing!
[li]Remember. There are so many cool ways to make a story. For example, you can do it from the good guy's point of view, and from the bad guys, so the writer can actually feel as if they WERE the person.[/li]
[li]Make sure not to drone on and on and on and on about one topic. For example: "Person looked at a big tree. It was a redwood, thick as an elephant's leg, times two. It had moss bits covering it, and branches streaming out. The tree next to it had one thing different. It still was as thick as an elephant's leg, times two. It still had moss bits, but this one had 20. (Three pages later) The 13th tree in the woods had ONE thing different. It had 39 moss bits covering it, and it was as thick as an elephants leg. Only one.[/li]People don't care about the stupid trees! Unless you decide to write a book called 'Tree's in the Woods.'
Also, the conflict doesn't have to be with the bad guy fighting the good guy.
What if the good guy has a conflict against himself? What if, instead of the bad guy turning good, the good guy turns bad, and the whole story suddenly doubles around as the bad guy finds out things aren't going well, and he fights the good guy turned bad?Ideas, Ideas.
Okay, guys. If you need help, just ask! I'll be happy to help.
-
Okay okay the last paraghraph of yours totally threw me off, but yeah! That's absolutely an option. I like how you think.
-
do you mind if i copy and paste this onto a document so i dont forget it? i love these tips!Oh, almost missed this. Sure thing! I don't mind :3
-
XD The good guy realizes what might be in for him if he joins the bad side. He does, and suddenly the bad guy realizes, "Oh, maybe this wasn't a good idea, let me fight him so he'll be eliminated." Thus joining the good side. Suddenly, loyalties switch. Bad guy good, good guy bad. :3
-
The thing about the trees. x3
-
That sounds brilliant! I'm writing a short story at the moment just to get back into the habit of writing, and I'll post it once I'm done I'f you'd guys like *Shy smile*
-
Oh absolutely, you must share it with all of us! Can't wait to see what you've got going on.
