The Basics of Story Writing

By Ron Wilson


When writing a story the very first point you should do (the this may often be the most pain-staking), is create the first wind. The initial draft will definitely never be published, so don't have also caught up in trying to make it excellent. Do not look back, and merely maintain moving on.

As well, things change as the story advances so there is no point in editing the first draft! The 3rd point to do when writing a story is to kick back as well as praise yourself for completing the first draft as this requires excellent determination, the is normally the most time consuming part of the procedure! Do not take a lengthy time congratulating yourself though if you wish to stick to your 18 month timeframe!

(Read more regarding plot framework here). Now it is time to craft this in to an understandable story!

Immerse yourself into the story, and also deliver your fictional world to life. The second draft needs to actually see the story start to play out on the page.
