How To Write A Story

Those who do write in the hope of one day being published. But to be in addition to all the requirements that lobbying can mean a publisher or agent must be a product of acceptable quality. This article will discuss the features that should have a story or a story to be accepted as such.

Stories should have a beginning, a middle and an end.

That seems obvious, but the reality is that many people who write or intend to write, I forget on the way to build your story. In the beginning we define the space where the action happens, also the time and who tells the story. Define if your story is told first person or third. Also often a good idea to give the reader a clue what will happen, but if not exactly arousing their curiosity.

In developing the story takes place, and be clear that it is a story, ie a series of actions leading to the final. Do not fall into the trap that your character sits down to think / remember / think. Because in this case the action is that it is sitting, whether discovered the cure for cancer, like sitting still.

Every action has a reaction, ie, every action must trigger events or your reader will be disappointed. For example, if someone knocks your door, you open and there is a guy who asks a stranger tale finish, the type is wrong. If a story happens, should trigger another set of facts relevant to the story. The type spy to steal, ask for a ghost, leaving open the door so the dog escaped., Something must happen. If nothing happens, do not count that action.

The onset and development should lead to the final. A surprise, a moral tragedy. Or even exactly what the reader expects to happen. What matters is not the story itself, but how you tell it. That end should leave wounds on the reader.

Join the story elements

What is the central element of your story? An old house, a character with a mental health problem, a landscape, a love? Around this central element rotates the characters and actions. Ensure that all spaces, characters, themes, have something to do with each other. If not, you have even a story.

Calls the reader's attention to that little detail that would go unnoticed if not highlighted. Catch him and give him what he wants, this detail becomes the protagonist.

Do not tell the reader should feel

Do not try to define all the ideologies that want to transmit. If that's what you do not write a story, go to the next trials. The story is interesting and you. The reader will decide to feel.

Many fall into the mistake of telling his readers that his characters are crazy. Or that they have bad character. Do not, it should say the action. If a character is funny, the reader will know.

And .... Corten.Si not advance the story, short. Rewrite for something to happen. Imagine in your mind what you read, if the scene is boring. Corta.

Extensive descriptions of landscapes, emotions, animals, or people, tired. Resume and short. The truth is that we no longer live in the era of Dickens and Chekhov, today we have big problems with attention.

A Good Start

At this time little attention, a reader decide if you read a story in the first paragraph and the second peak. Make sure it is an interesting beginning, thus grabs the reader to the end. Tell the story is that, some clue of what will happen, arouses curiosity.

Beware of the errata

Be as neat as you can in syntax and spelling. People who read are set in such details. If you want a reading public does not forget the rules. Writing is a nice therapy for people we like to, but if readers want, we do quality work. Misspelled words, misspellings and improper use of words can kill that dream. Read a lot, and learn from those who already crossed the road.

Of note in this regard, I omit a few accents in the words of titles and abstracts published in my blog. This is because search engines (read Google) makes disaster accents.

Choose an interesting topic

It is best to choose something you feel identified the audience you're going. Veterans' war stories such as revenge for injuries. It is unlikely that people interested in prehispanic fishing techniques if there is nothing interesting there. If the Indian does not find a monster that devours the whole people, or a super virus will spread, or at least his wife is in love with the monster, do not tell that story very interesting that you found.
