In order to have a good story, you must have:

1. Prewriting

2. Drafting

3. Editing

4. Revising

5. Presentation

1. You first have to think of an idea, and jot down notes about it.

2. Then you make an idea web and write notes about each topic.

3. You ask a teacher or friend to go over it with you. ( Spell Check, etc..).

4. You revise, making the official changes to it.

5. You present it to an audience.

When using the writing technique of tripling in descriptive writing, you repeat words or phrases three times to emphasize a point or create a rhythm. For example, "The trees stood tall, tall, tall against the sky." This repetition can help create a sense of emphasis or clarity in your description.

To write a Retrospective story, start by reflecting on a past event or period of time. Consider the key moments, emotions, and lessons learned. Organize your story in a chronological order and focus on the impact of the experience on your growth or perspective. Be honest and reflective in your writing to convey the journey effectively.

The process of reviewing a written story and making revisions or changes to the text is commonly referred to as editing. This can involve correcting grammar and spelling errors, refining the language and style, or restructuring the content for clarity and coherence.

In general, you should avoid flashbacks. They take the reader out of the story and create a confusing eddy in the stream.

If you must, you could use a flashback to fill in a dramatic story that happened to you. If your flashback is vivid enough, it might make the story more effective than a non-vivid story.

A character arc is the timeline and development of a character on a certain show, or in a book. So, for instance, you could discuss the character arc of Clara from Doctor Who, talking about when she was introduced to the show (several times), and when she died (also several times), and what she might do next. (A time travel show admittedly makes a character arc more complex.)

Once there was a young girl named Lily who lived in a small village. She was known for her love of shiny objects and always sought after things that glittered. However, through a series of events, Lily learned that true beauty and value lies in the heart and not in material possessions. She discovered that everything that glitters is not always gold, but sometimes it is those simple, unassuming things that hold the most worth.

The elements of a short story in Spanish literature typically include characters, setting, plot, conflict, and theme. Character development is key to driving the narrative forward, while the setting provides context for the events that unfold. The plot follows a specific structure, usually involving a conflict that drives the story towards a resolution, and the theme conveys the underlying message or moral of the story.

Well, that's a good question. The author usually makes sure you don't put the book down. You think in your head: "Hey! What happens next?" And you keep reading until the end, when it gets better.

The number of words on a page can vary depending on the size of the font, spacing, and formatting of the book. As an estimate, a standard page of a book may contain around 250-300 words. Therefore, a 330-page book could have approximately 82,500 - 99,000 words.

The basic answer is - when you have finished a scene.

A more complete answer would include thinking about your target audience! Your readers are probably going to be reading your book on the train to or from work, or in the waiting room at the doctor's office, or right before bed - you want your chapters to be short enough so that they can read a chapter in about 15 minutes. That way, they will think, "I can finish this chapter before work (or before bed or whatever)" and they will go ahead and start reading - books with huge chapters often get set aside to be read "later."

Fifteen minutes for most people works about to be around 2500 words. Watch the word count when you are typing, and when you get to about 2300 words, start thinking about how to wind the chapter down and make a little "hook" or "button" to get them to read the next chapter, too!

A person with an unusual character may exhibit behaviors or traits that deviate from societal norms or expectations. They may be eccentric, quirky, or unconventional in their thoughts, actions, or appearance. This uniqueness can make them stand out in a crowd and bring a fresh perspective to their interactions with others.

Yes, novels typically feature chapters that serve to break up the text into smaller, more manageable sections. Each chapter often focuses on a particular aspect of the story or a specific event to help guide the reader through the narrative. Chapters help create a sense of structure and pacing within the novel.

The number of pages in a 10000 word novel can vary depending on factors such as font size, spacing, and margins. On average, a 10000 word novel may be around 40-50 pages in a standard paperback format.

A book must have a plot. Perhaps you only think that your book has no plot - if you are writing about a group of friends, and you're getting a lot of funny and interesting stories, then perhaps the plot is "a group of friends become close to each other as they grow up."

Judy Blume is one writer whose plots are not huge earth-shattering events, but are just about the ordinary lives of teenagers.

You can also make certain that the book includes one major conflict for the characters to overcome - that makes more of a traditional plot and might make you more confident about your book. For example, these 13 year olds might decide to try out for a sports team, or plan to go to the school dance, or even try writing a book!

writers often start a story and end it at its highest or most exciting point, the climax, in efforts to create suspense in their readers. they then continue the story in a second book a couple of months later. the act of creating suspense in readers is a way to make readers eager for the next book in the series because it leaves them curious as to how the story will end.

Here is a link to the main question about describing people. The five senses are seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, and tasting, so you would describe what you see, hear, feel, smell, and maybe taste.

Good writers revise and edit. Professional writers constantly think of better ways to say things, or try different methods of doing a scene. Writers who don't edit and revise are lazy writers who probably never sell their work.

Good Lord, I spend half my time reading and revising scenes!

I must assume that by "personal narrative" you mean a personal essay. As for ideas, they are everywhere. Think of issues you feel strongly about, child abuse, perhaps, or housing for the homeless, or censorship. But personal essays can be about anything: your opinions on any subject you choose.
