How to:
Write a story?
I love writing stories, and it's fun to make something on the way you like it. Everything goes how you want it to. Here some tips:
1. Just wright! If you have enough inspiration and you're writing, don't stop! Because when you stop your inspirations goes away. And that's not what you want. So if you're writing, stay writing and stop for only important reasons.
2. Do you want inspiration? But it doesn't come? Read other stories till it comes. Think of what you would do if you where writing that story. And there is your inspiration.
3. Make the story as your dream life! Stories aren't real -the most aren't- so you can let the people do what you want. If you want that they have a dog, then they have a dog. If you want that they fall in love, then they do! So make it on your own way.
4. Use your own life experience in your story. That gives it a part of you. Of course you can change some things, make it better and stuff. :-)
5. If you think you're story is finisht, read it again -and again and again...-. To correct your mistakes.
6. Have fun writing! If you doesn't have fun writing it's not good. You can better stop then, and begin a new story. If it doesn't feel right, it isn't right!
7. If you want people to read your story, you have to first finish it. Otherweise they be able to change your idea for the rest.
8. Take the time to write, it's not that you write a whole book in one day. It can take a year, or two, maybe three. Some people write more than 10 years on a book, so take your time!
9. Writing is a kind of therapy to process life experiences. So... That was not a tip more a observation :-$
10. Watch movies, read books, read magazines, listen to music, search on the internet! And do all kinds of stuff to inspire you. Cause inspiration let you write better! Inspiration is the source of your story.
11. Write what your feelings say.
12. If you want you can write before you go writing on your story some words on a paper about your story. For example:
Girl, love, friend, 17 etc.
And if you don't know anymore what you want to write you read the words and -maybe- it all come back.
Good Luck with writing!
Love,
Me
