Writing.
Okay, here's my top tip for writing (for example), a simple short story.
First you have to understand that people are going to read what you write, and hopefully you want them to enjoy reading it - right?
So then, think about what you enjoy reading about and then ask yourself why you liked it.
Once you figure out why you liked reading something you should think about adding that magical spice into your own writing, and it is so easy you just wouldn't believe it. So, grab a pen and a piece of paper and write down the following three words;
BEGINNING
MIDDLE
END
Those three words just about make up what your story should contain, and I hope that you understand this simple rule because every story has these three principles within them. Next - so what are they?
The Beginning. The beginning of your story is where you introduce your readers to whatever your story is about. Introduce some characters also, maybe a hero or heroine (or both), and describe them to your readers. This will help your audience to forge a bond with your characters and make your story more readable.
The Middle. Okay, once you've got the beginning of your story out of the way you can start on the Middle bit, this is the main part of your tale and it can follow any theme you like. Try to think about what would happen to your characters that you created in the beginning, and describe it as best you can.
The End. This is the End of your tale and normally this is were you finish your tale off with maybe a happy ending - or whatever you like, I do like a happy ending, don't you?
I really hope this is of some help to you, and I'm looking forward to reading what you decide to write.
Try it - once you start you'll be surprised how easy it is.
As If You Were Speaking
The secret is simply ending the sentence. Whatever sentence you were writing. And just keep writing, keep flowing, keeping typing, keep going, and not thinking again about what you might be writing at whatever given moment. Imagine that while you write it's as if you are in front of a group of people and speaking. Or in front of just one person and speaking. Don't pause. Don't say just one sentence. Share more of your thoughts and feelings with the audience. Just keep going and flowing with your words and not being too careful about the authentic free-flow of thoughts and feelings.
Ask Questions
Okay, so you've wrote your first sentence. But what next? What should I write? Well, think about that first sentence. Say it's (and this is completely random), "The warm summer air seemed choking as I trudged up the hill". Ask yourself, who is trudging up the hill? Why are they trudging up the hill? Do they think they will gain something from trudging up that hill? If yes, what? Does your character even want to be trudging up the hill? How do they feel to be going up that hill? Is somebody traveling with your character? Who? What do they think of the situation? Think about when that character gets to the top. Is there something up there? What is it? Did the character expect it to be up there? Or are they taken by surprise? Or is it someone who's up there? Good guy or bad guy? Describe them. What does the character do now? Go back down the hill? Take the animal/person/artifact and go down? Just sit at the top of the hill for a while? Describe emotions.
Really, the possibilities are endless! Just ask yourself, "What next?"
Mino,
My best advice is to relax and write for yourself as if no one else will see it. Forget about whether or not someone else will like it. Once you stop searching to please others or trying to come up with something brilliant, you will be able to write. And it will be beautiful because you wrote it. Every story and every poem is beautiful in its own way. It doesn't matter if it is silly, simple, or nonsensical. Write the words you want to and post it. We will support you. There are no mean critics here. Good luck Mino. I am routing for you.
Advisory
Sometimes, my dear friend of the pen and paper, a sentence is all you need, it doesn't have to ever end or have a conclusion, and when it does, it'll come as easy as breathing, but don't ever force it, since it is a fickle creature, and it never will be caged, only tempted in a direction for so long, so a sentence can be longer or as short as you will it to be, and never ever stop writing, even if each adjective becomes more and more ridiculously enveloping and jabberwockily incredulous, keep that pen to paper, those fingers to the keys, and the thoughts everflowing, no matter what they are.
Write
Don't force it. Writing is a way to get your feelings and emotions out. If you stress it, your writing won't be as good, and won't be able to enjoy it. If you can't think of anything to say, just relax, put your phone away, and take a walk, hang out with family, do something, ANYTHING to get your mind off writing. Anywho, point is, you can't force good writing and thoughts. And when you do have a good idea, don't limit yourself. Be free. Just simply write.
