《How To Write A Book》7-The story
Advertisement
So, now you can start writing your story.
How to begin:
There are many ways to start a story.
Well, you can start with a normal day of you characterâs life. Thatâs important to show people how her /his normal life is.
You can also start with something she/he will never forget. For example:
· Her/His car accident
· Her/his momâs death
· He/she wakes up in the hospital
· The day the guy/girl she/he loves got married
· The day she/he met someone special
Personally, I love when people start their story with one word. Iâll give you an example from âBlindâ by bestbenarry
âSilence. Thatâs all I hear. Nothing. Thatâs all I see.â
I love the way she starts her story. Itâs perfect! Itâs simple and says everything. In my opinion this is more difficult to do.
It doesnât matter how youâre going to start. You only have to know one thing: your readers have to know who your character is in the beginning of the story. The beginning of the story is important because itâs here where you can write how youâre character acts in different situations. Is your character a lonely person, a shy person, an outgoing person, a popular person? Your readers will discover this is in the beginning. Once again do not start your story with: âHey! Iâm Caroline, Iâm 18 years old, I live with my parents in California and Iâm beautiful because I have pink eyes and purple hair.â NO!
Another thing you shouldnât do, especially if youâre writing a love story, is make your main character fall in love with the guy in the beginning. I hate that! Unless your character is in love with him for a long time, you shouldnât make her fall in love in the beginning.

The middle of the story:
After introducing your character you have to start writing the story. If youâre writing an adventure story, your characterâs adventure has to start now! If youâre writing a love story now is the perfect time for your main character fall in love with her/his love interest. If youâre writing a horror story now is the perfect time for strange things start to happen.
The end of the story:
Your character dies. Your character marries with her/his love interest and they live happily ever after. Your character goes to jail.
Something special is important for the end of the story. If youâre thinking about writing a sequel to your book then you shouldnât reveal everything in your first book. You have to leave something to discover so people have to read your second book to find out.
Itâs important to notice this: Your character is no longer that innocent girl from the beginning or your character isnât that player guy anymore. What Iâm trying to say is, your character has to be different by the end of the story. Thatâs why you canât have perfect people in your story. If you have a perfect person then the person canât change anymore because he/she is perfect.

Even so, the male lead still cheated on her with the female lead on their wedding night! According to the original plot development, Fang Mo'er would swallow her anger and still choose to marry the male lead. Eventually, the scum of the earth would cheat her of all of her resources for the female lead. Simultaneously, she would also do something crazy out of jealousy and eventually destroy her own reputation. Fang Mo'er decided that she would never walk down this path again! -In front of the Department of Civil Affairs, Fang Mo'er, who just transmigrated over, hung up on the scum's call that meant to tell her to postpone their wedding. Coincidentally, a handsome man clad in a suit walked to her side. The man said, "Miss, since your groom isn't here and my bride ran away, why don't we get married instead?" Fang Mo'er did not pay too much attention to him and wondered who he was instead. She did not recall having such a stale plotline in this novel. The man continued, "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Shi Mo." Fang Mo'er's eyes nearly fell out of her sockets. Shi Mo? The man who only appeared once in the entire novel; the CEO of the world's biggest entertainment company? What else could be more vengeful than marrying Shi Mo to disgust the scum of a couple? "Deal!" The current Fang Mo'er was still immersed in the anger and vengefulness from the novel. Hence, this was just her trying to change the fate of a character. However, she forgot that she had become Fang Mo'er, and at this moment, she had just chosen the man who would accompany her for the rest of her life.Author:It is IEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation Note: This novel does not belong to me...
