Table of contents:

If you plan to write a good story, this article is for you.

Steps

Step 1. Brainstorm

Think of a story that will have an impact on the audience. A story that can change how people think about a certain topic. The story must have twists and turns and an unexpected ending. Build on the creativity of your story. Start by thinking about what happened to you yesterday or maybe what will happen to you in the future. Any topic will do

Step 2. Choreograph your plot

Arrange the series of events in order of what you want the most. What will happen first? Which is the end? Know that your story does not need to start from something conventional. You need to start from something unexpected and tragic. Write all your ideas about what is going to happen on a piece of paper.

Step 3. Assign the roles

Think about the fate of your characters, in relation to the story, of course. Will they suffer a terrible disease? Will they lead a normal life after a tragic incident? Write all the characteristics of your characters on a sheet of paper. Remember, you have power over them because "you" created them, not someone else.

Step 4. Start with your first word

Write a draft of your story. Write down all the ideas to make a story. Don't worry about punctuation or grammar mistakes. Focus on your plot.

Step 5. Read it all and edit it

During your reading, underline all the mistakes you have made so that they do not pass you later. Also take note and edit the parts that don't feel right to you or are confusing. After reviewing it, the real story begins.

Step 6. Finish your masterpiece

Yes, your masterpiece. After you write it, please read it again as there may be a mistake or something.

Step 7. Share it

Give it to your friends to read and tell you what they think. Or you can take it to a newspaper to see if they can publish it or something like that. You may become famous and it may sell very well.
