How can one learn how to write a story?

Answer 1

Read, read, read, read, read, read, and keep reading. When you're ready to come to the plate and start writing, you either have it or you don't. If you find that you don't have it, you will still be one bright individual for having read all those darn books.

Answer

Besides reading, create a writing habit. Most authors make a habit of writing for several hours a day, setting a quota of 1500 or more words a day. You may toss some of it, but writing practice pays off. One of the best books I've read on the subject is On Writing by Stephen King.

Answer 2

You must experience first all the things you wanted to write on your story or novel to make it for real, for you can make the readers feel the words you spoke on your story or novel. You must have a wide mind to think and feel everything but most you must know how to handle the pressure when your brain started to be activated. Feel all the kinds of emotions through mentality,spiritually,emotionally,physically, even if you wonder you are like a crazy person, that's why you must know how to handle it.Imaginations are included.Share yourself from the crowd even if it is against for you.

Answer 3

• First, plot it out -- you need to be able to picture the scene in your head as if it was on a movie or TV screen.
• Begin where the action begins.
• Put in dialogue and action.
• End where the action begins.
• Put in a "teaser" to make the character want to turn the page (something that hints at the next action, or makes them ask a question)

Answer 4

I tend to think of whatever it is I may be writing about draw up a rough draft, then go back rewrite it a second time then do my own editing. But it takes a lot of skill, imagination and good grammar and a very large vocabulary doesn't hurt neither!

Furthermore I cannot stress enough about covering all of your basis, research is an absolute must, otherwise you merely make yourself appear very foolish to others.

Answer 5

Some of the best stories come from your own imagination. A lot of authors remember dreams they had and they will write what happens down and eventually turn it into a story. You could also take some creative writing classes.

Answer 6

To learn how to write a story, consider taking writing courses or workshops, reading books on storytelling and writing techniques, practicing writing regularly, seeking feedback from others, and studying the structure and elements of stories you enjoy. Remember that storytelling is a skill that improves with practice and perseverance.

Answer 7

You picture the scene vividly in your mind until you can see it like it was in a movie. Then, just write down what you see and there's your scene.
