Okay people, we need some improvement!!!! First off... the writers when creating a story, it must have three parts that contribute to the whole,[color=lime green] a beginning [/color]middle, and end A basic plot, accurate information [I.e, if you are creating a story based on the past, make sure you have your information straight before you write down, *George Washington created the light bulb ] colorful vocabulary, and most importantly, SPELL CORRECTLY. Also, just a tip, use full words while writing a story, [I.e you, are], it makes you seem more educated the readers When you read a story, be honest with yourself, is this writer getting me into the story? Is this writer painting a picture for me? Is this writer making me want more? And most importantly, does this writer's work make sense? ask yourself this as you shower them with praise unearned, simply because you don't want to be the bad guy. Don't encourage them to go in the wrong direction. Tell the truth. It doesn't matter if it's your friend, they need to know what they're doing wrong that sticks out to you, the reader. Even so, don't be rude like, WTF dude?!? This makes no fuckin sense you suck balls!!! put it in a more civil way like, I'm sorry, but this just doesn't make sense to me...here's where you kind of lost me... try to help them improve. Don't feel bad if they start getting mad at you. You did nothing wrong to them, just gave constructive criticisms. Trust me, they'll thank you later. Just a tip, start with some praise like I like the use of the word___, and I think the perspective is fabulous, just, you might need to work on details... the most important thing...the construction of a story I think this is where most new writers mess up. First is the [color=lime green]beginning[/color] The [color=lime green] beginning[/color] is mostly for drawing the reader in, such as an exciting part in the story that they'll only find if they read it from the beginning to grasp why this situation is happening. Or you could introduce the main character here. Or do a small overview of what the character is feeling, or parts of their past. [just a tip, think of the characters as real people, with emotions and relationships and personalities, put yourself in their shoes, reflect on how you would feel.] after you've done the *prologue, you move on to the base of the story, or middle here you will put the, *plot, *problem, and the majority of the details and the characters. It's all about the detail! You have to show the reader what is happening. Paint a mental picture for them, show the personality! Ex:average sentence:Elis bit into the apple gratefully, for he hadn't had much to eat in many days. Good sentence: hungrily, Elis chomped into the ripe, smooth, red apple, savoring the sweet juices and the familiar crunch, grateful for every second of the sweet bliss of something real to eat, after those torturous weeks of starvation. See the difference? This point of the story leads to the climax or ending , so go ahead and put a chain of events that led to the end! And this leads to the big finale, the ending here is where all the components come together to reach the ending. Here, you can put tragic twists of fate, miracles, blessings, curses, and a bright new future for the characters for the reader to think up! This is possibly the most flexible part. You can do pretty much anything with it, as long as there's some sort of explanation for it. So, what are you waiting for?!? Get out there and put your thinking caps on and write some goddamned stories for my entertainment!!! foot notes George Washington was the first president, Thomas Edison invented the lightbulb Prologue-the beginning of a story Plot-the basic layout of a story Problem-a sort of challenge for the character If you read this, a bunny and a cookie for chu [sorry for any bbcoding fails >.<] trolls welcome
I gotta a cookie Also for the readers w/ constructive criticism get YOUR facts straight!lol, I.E. If you are going to critique about spelling and grammar*face palm* use correct spelling and grammar I enjoyed this Qin it's a nice way to help ppl!
This is telling writers how to write when they should just be able to freely write and express themselves and just let the ppl read however they want!!!
Maybe so, but do you honestly think that some of these stories are GOOD? some of them just make clutter. Im just trying to show these writers how to improve, and really, people should say what they're thinking no? Then these people who aren't making sense know not to go ahead and make MORE stories that even a neanderthal can't understand. You can choose to read it or not, I'm just trying to help. Note, I never said that, you can't write without big words or you can't write in this manor... it's just my two cents about what the generic for good stories and helpful readers.
Yes. Qin is perfectly perfectly right. DANGO HIGH FIVE!! and i will bump this until 13 decent stories are made. Qin, are mine okay? o_o
And one thing i dont get. When somebody bumps or says its good, they explain useless things we dnt care about. Ex: Me and my friend Totally did that! We met a hottie and no, im not a perv and yes i like tigers and fluffy chiuauas. Seriously?! TALKING ABOUT URSELF IN OUR STORIES!?!? . Sign ups are ok, BUT DNT RUIN OUT STORIES WHILE U BUMP OR READ.
