Fiction is essentially the imitation, reinvention, addition, connection, and imaginative recreation of are lives, in it we focus on the main points of interest, being a good writer is the ability to transport the reader to the location of are setting and make it real, we do this by transforming every dark ally, dirty carpet, washed up actor, successful sail’s person, and so on, into a real living breathing thing. Are readers follow along as we spin a tail for them, one of convincing originality, and startlingly precise detail.

First off you need to find the right balance of storytelling, accomplish a perfect marriage of scenery, plot, and character, and move all of this forward with consistently increasing suspense and gradual story development, if you are able to do this you will have the reader tightly gripping the next page between his thumb and forefinger so as not to waste time in flipping the the pages to discover what happens next.

As writers we are essentially translators, we communicate are thoughts into words, the more effectively we do this, the better we are as writers. To play on a readers emotions and effectively connect them to the story, we must ensure that the voice and feel change style as we switch from the perspective of one character to another.

If in real life we were to jump into another persons mind we would see that they see things quite differently from us, even something as simple as a napkin on a table, or a spot on the wall, everyone thinks on separate plains’ and so should your characters.  Another important part of real writing is to make sure your character fits into the story realistically it should make sense that they are where they are in the story, they should fit there like a fine glove, the reader should not be able to imagine them anywhere else in the story or in any different way as a character, this doesn’t mean the reader is unimaginative, it just means you have created a realistic world. and lastly try analyzing your characters, it may sound weird to ask yourself questions, but if you are going to treat this idea of a person in your head as a separate diverse individual, while also making them believable you can’t just pretend. So go on and ask them, why do you deserve to be in this story? If you don’t receive a satisfying answer then that character can probably be removed, you never know, they may work for another story, so file them away for later use.  It’s also good to make a separate place for that person and their personality in your mind, it helps segregate your thoughts and keep things organized for more on organizing your thoughts as a writer you can check out  my other post here, Hey Writers!

Tips and Motivation

Remember writing is an art that requires a lot of hard work and discipline, if you value writing  there is never a valid excuse not to read and write, like everything that has ever existed that was or is worth achieving, no pain no gain is the motto to get it. If you come to writing with this attitude and determination, there is no doubt in my mind that you will soon master the elements of writing, and attain the ability to create your own epic world of adventure, excitement, romance or whatever else bounces around in that head of yours.
