《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.

BF Training Course
Story about a man who trusts and loves his girlfriend. Basic premise is that your girlfriend is leaving on a trip and wants you to take part in some mysterious course while she's gone. Figuring out what the course is about is a big part of the story. Mostly the story will be focused on dialogue and thoughts. One of my goals is for there to not be any potentially interesting conversations that are skipped past, many times I've been reading some story and hated it when some really interesting conversation is just summed up without going into enough detail.

Fire on Fire
"This is so wrong ..." Emma breathed out against his lips when he pinned her up against the wall."Is it?" Alexander echoed, slipping his hands underneath her large sweater, grazing her lips."She's my friend ..." Emma argued weakly, albeit unwilling to push him off."Don't think about it." He merely replied, starting to nibble on her neck.As his lips nipped down on her sensitive skin, Emma let out a breathless moan and wrapped her arms around his shoulders, so that he could hook her legs around his torso, effectively seizing her in his arms. The walk to his bedroom was short, and before she could say anything, she found herself on his bed, him hovering over her. His every touch was inebriating, the way his lips knew exactly where to go in order for her to lose sight of her moral duties, the way his hands skillfully caressed every inch of her skin, as if savoring it in advance, was driving her insane. And when she met his fiery gaze, Emma knew she was doomed. She had no chance but to surrender to this devil that was tempting her, pushing her towards something that - she was well aware - would be difficult to give up on once set in motion.
