Core Step To Write A Fictional story.

If You want to write fictional stories for a blog or an article, you have a paper in front of you and actually already have a story in your head. But once you want to write it down, you suddenly don't know how to do it. The story doesn't make sense or you just don't get anything on paper at all.

If so, then you should read this blog. Or you just find it useful to get some writing tips. That is of course also possible.

A fictional story. It's starts with a plan

Before you start writing a short story, try to make a plan and briefly put your idea on paper. Writers call this a synopsis. A synopsis is a short summary of the story you want to write. It starts with an idea that you work out on paper beforehand, with the intention of developing the story into a well-readable story later on.

To start with a story you need a step-by-step plan. So you also have to work with steps to get a well-structured story.

Next step: A plot

You can create a plot from the beginning of a story. A plot is the plan is structure of a story, with all the entanglements and causal connections within it. In shorter stories you often only have one plot and as a beginning writer it is useful to focus on only one. Don't make it too difficult for yourself right away. To make it all the easier, try to formulate the plot in one sentence. This allows you to make the plot clearer for yourself and the readers.

Characters With Emotion

As a writer, you need to learn as much as you can about your main characters. You don't have to share all that knowledge with your readers, but if your characters feel like real people to you, you automatically transfer that feeling and your reader empathizes more. 

You have to ask yourself how your characters react to situations, what their situation is and their motivation to do something, just like real people would. Remember that not only the main characters need to have a personality. The supporting characters should also be just as interesting. Maybe even more interesting.

Start & End

What makes writing a story easier is a beginning and an end. Every story revolves around a conflict. Entire books have been written about conflict in stories. If you know the subject, the time and the place, you can start thinking about what kind of conflict would fit in that setting. That conflict is not yet a plot. It just clash between the protagonist and the antagonist. 

For example: your main character does something that gets him into trouble with the mafia and you figure out how your character will eventually solve it all. At this point, it's also helpful to establish where your story begins and where it ends. That doesn't necessarily have to be the beginning and end of your story (you can change those later by using flashbacks or flashforwards), but it does have to be the storyline.

A good climax is also useful to write then. Because do you want to keep it open-ended to maybe create a sequel or do you actually want to write an ending?

Centerpieces

From the beginning and the end, you can slowly build up the middle part. In it, you can describe all the scenarios that happen in between. For example, characters go on a journey and encounter all kinds of different things. Or more depth is told about them.

Use keywords

For example, if you want to ensure that you have many readers, you must ensure that you process many keywords. This makes it easier for readers to find your blog on search engines. For example, if you want to write something, you must indicate to gped what kind of recipe it is.

Use images

What makes a blog more attractive to read is adding an image. A picture says 1000 words. It also comes across a lot smoother than just a piece of text.

Show knowledge

Show that you understand the subject you are talking about If readers get the feeling that you know nothing about the subject, they will not take you seriously.

Pitfalls with writing

Don't make too many different sub-plots. It can become confusing for the reader and much more complicated for you to write.

Too many different things that don't make sense.

Only follow exactly what writing courses and others tell you what to do. Not that advice is bad, but try to find ways

Ask yourself. Don't start doubting yourself.

Sometimes you can start to doubt whether your story is good or not. So you have to be careful with that and I really have no idea how I can make this article better and I just keep typing so that you think you're working. And this keyboard really makes a lot of noise, it's really not normal. Now you probably thinks I'm writing a lot which is a good idea for me. If your mind doesn't make any sense ask for help a person which has good sense to judge the stories'

Some tips to make the story even better

The main character only succeeds at the end of the story.

Try to keep convey a moral, motivational,inspirational etc form of ethics to the audience's mind.

Perhaps a bit pathetic for the main character, but this keeps the story exciting.

There is a plot twist at the end or almost at the end

Besides the fact that the reader prefers to read something original, the reader also wants to be surprised. This sounds somewhat logical, but remember that if readers are pleasantly surprised by your story, it makes everything much more fun.

The enemy is almost as important as the main character.

What makes a story more interesting is when an enemy also has a lot of depth. Otherwise it will be boring and the reader will find the story less appealing. So give him, her or it something unique to make the enemy more fun!

Nothing is Accidental

It is a well-known fact that readers hate coincidences. Even if it seems so realistic that a person happens to experience something, in a book it seems an easy solution for the writer. The reader sees this and will be disappointed.

Have someone else read your story every now and then.

Chances are that you yourself have a different taste with stories than many others or that there are some mistakes in them that you have overlooked yourself. So let someone else read it every now and then. Then you know for sure that it will be perfect!
