15) The characters, narrator (if one) - should have emotion and feelings.

Answer 2

Number one question you need to ask:

Why am I writing this? What do I want to communicate to people with my writing?

Seriously- I read so many books or stories where I put them down after reading the last word and just go "What the . . .?". In anything you write, you need to have an overlying message. You don't have to pound it into your readers, or be trying to persuade them of anything or preaching, but you just have to have a theme in mind when you sit down to write. The last sentence, the last word- should have ultimate meaning, should encapsulate everything you've written. If you don't have something you want to communicate to your readers, keep thinking.

You also want to ask yourself:

Why will people care about my character(s)? People want to read about characters they can worry about. Even if they absolutely hate them- and in fact, those characters are often the funnest!- they still want to know what happens in the end. If what happens to your characters doesn't interest people, something's wrong.

Sometimes it helps me to envision the reviews that famous literary critics will make about my book, and write to achieve those. I also think about what my dust jacket cover/back of book will say- those are my guidelines, where you use words that you want your story, characters, and writing style to embody ('luminous prose', 'zany, lovable characters', 'twisty, unpredictable plot', etc.).

Good luck!

Answer 3

well, first you will have to think of a topic and make a web filled with things that you could use in your stories! Like
how are my characters and what are they like?
what is the main idea of the story?
How can i relate to this? (you could write your story based on true story)
sometimes i just look at other books and take those as an example and make it similar!!
That's all i got
good luck!!!!

Answer 4

Depends on the story. Fiction: "What is in my mind that other people should know?" Non-fiction: "Why is it important to share this information?" Poem: "What's the most economical way to share this information?" Song lyrics: "What does the music say to me?"

Kind of a vague question, but I hope that helps.

Answer 5

What do you want to say? What needs to be said to say that? I also think about what sounds good. I always lean toward the poetic no matter what I'm writing or saying.

Answer 6

what do you mean?
