WHAT TO WRITE ABOUT IN STORY

Yes, you may think within you what do I know I want to write about in a story? A lot you know? Having got that passion within you to write, get down to the real thing. Which is what? Writing the fiction story you have in mind of doing. Check around you, there are things happening in the lives of people. There are things happening in history that can be used to write fictitiously. How? By changing some of the events to bring about the end you want, changing the names of the real life actors and actresses and making sure nothing is written to let those concerned know you are writing about them, except you are writing non fiction. And that's it, you've got it going.

HOW TO WRITE STORIES WITH PASSION

Writing fiction stories in a passionate way can be really great fun. How do you do it? Simple! You know what you are passionate about in life. By this I mean the type of fiction stories you love reading. That should be your spark. Get going by bringing out the ideas in your minds eyes and then start writing on whatever you can lay your hands on. It can be a piece of paper, a computer or a jotter, whatever. Do not look at the grammar aspect in the first place. You just write on and on until you have poured out all your feelings and then when you are done, get down to editing. And your story is done! See!
That's correct because it is that natural thing from within you that people love reading. Over calculation of this and that often bring out the worst writings so I advice you write naturally from your inner self whatever you want to put down.

TIPS ON WHAT NOT TO DO WHEN WRITING DIALOGUES

There are many rules guiding dialogue formations and once a writer engages him/herself in those techniques, the story becomes useless. Below are some of the things you as a writer should try as much as possible to avoid when writing a good dialogue. * INCOHERENT BABBLING: Extended words that kept on repeating itself several times, becomes incoherent babbling and when the excessive use of words such as 'Well', 'Okay', 'Right','You know' and other similar ones of this nature ruins a story. * INFORMATION SHUFFLING: Points that are irrelevant to the story are sometimes used by writers to make the story look longer to make up for word count, but I'll advise you to avoid this because it will ruin the story rather than making it better. If your story is short leave it at that and let it be worthy of its nature so that readers will enjoy reading it. * Do not put your words in readers mouths. * Avoid too much use of dialogue tags and don't be too fond of using tag in every discussion especially when you know who the speaker is. Make use of tags only when necessary. with these tips, I know when you follow them will improve your writing. Thank you.

THE USE OF TAGS

In dialogue construction, it is not good for a writer to employ the excessive use of dialogue tags. It is not proper because it can render a dialogue useless. It will make it look terrible an unprofessional. When writing dialogues that are good and effective, dialogue tags should be used minimally, especially when the speaker can be identified. When the speaker can be identified, it is better to move on with the conversation. When a writer constantly make use of tags like, 'Hi there,' he cried., 'Fine thank you ma,' she shrilled. 'No, father,' he cried., you'll find the conversation stilted and sounding extremely childish in the speeches made by the characters. But you can make use of, 'He said', 'She said', but do not make it too panoramic for your readers to start wondering what its all about. Do not tell, let your speeches or dialogues and tags draw your readers attention and interest to feel, see, hear and understand the events and what is happening. Make use of the tags sensible.

THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW

The third person point of view is achieved when the narrator uses the pronoun 'he' or 'she' to narrate the story. The narrator is an outsider relaying the story and the various actions. The third person point of view can be third person omniscient or third person limited. THIRD PERSON OMNISCIENT: In third person point of view omniscient,all the character's thoughts, environment, actions, everything about him or her are known and related to the readers. Take an insight at this, Annabel came out of the house, looked about her and noticed the cool, calm, serenity of the walkway. She took a deep breath and said, 'What a peaceful world this is.' She inhaled deeply again and started walking down the cobbled stone case and down the walkway. Obi at the other end of the walkway, standing like a Mable statute stood arms akimbo, watching her taking those dainty steps of hers as she took one step after the other towards his direction. From the above you can see the thoughts and actions of the characters is known by the disclosure of their thoughts and action. THE THIRD PERSON LIMITED: In third person limited, only one character's perspective in the story is used to relay the story events and actions. For example, 'This old woman has been the sole of this building since the time I came to live in this street.' You can see that the relaying of the event is from the a character's perspective.

THE SECOND PERSON POINT OF VIEW

In the second person point of view is a narrative mood which is rarely used except by writers that are very good in it. The use of You, your and yours are employed in the narration.The writer hooks the reader withe the use of You as if they are conversing. For example, 'You have the power to make trees move.' The use of You, your and yours are used in speeches, sports reports and such writings. Contributions are welcomed.
