Fiction Writing

Whatever you want the title to be. Write your story first, and the title comes out of that writing.

I would write a story that explores the themes of unity and resilience in the face of adversity. The story would follow a diverse group of individuals coming together to overcome challenges and build a stronger, more inclusive society. It would highlight the power of collaboration and celebrate the richness of our cultural heritage.

Usually you just count anything three or more letters - or let your word processing program count it for you!

The complication must be logical to the story, so you're going to have to invent it yourself. Think about what your characters want most, and start listing ideas for how those wants and desires can be thwarted -- those will be your complications.

Interplay of elements of short story create meaning by determining what exactly separates a short story from longer fictional formats is problematic. A classic definition of a short story is that one should be able to read it in one sitting, a point most notably made in Edgar Allan Poe's essay "The Philosophy of Composition" (1846). Interpreting this standard nowadays is problematic, since the expected length of "one sitting" may now be briefer than it was in Poe's era. Other definitions place the maximum word count of the short story at anywhere from 1,000 to 9,000 words, for example, Harris King's "A Solitary Man" is around 4,000 words. In contemporary usage, the term short story most often refers to a work of fiction no longer than 20,000 words and no shorter than 1,000. Stories of less than 1,000 words are sometimes referred to as "short short stories",[5] or "flash fiction."

As a point of reference for the science fiction genre writer, the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America define short story length Nebula Awards for science fiction submission guidelines as having a word count of less than 7,500.

The choice between first and third person narration depends on the story you want to tell and the perspective you want to present. First person offers a more intimate and subjective experience, allowing readers to connect closely with the protagonist's thoughts and emotions. Third person provides a broader view of the story, offering insight into multiple characters' perspectives and actions. Ultimately, the narrative point of view should serve the story and characters in the most effective way.

You will have to write your own story. Pick some sort of weather that sounds interesting to you, and imagine a planet where that weather would happen. Or you can imagine what would happen if that weather ran out of control, or if it stopped completely. There are lots of science fiction stories that use weather as a part of the plot.

You're going about this backwards, I'm afraid. The title comes last, after you've finished the story. Get everything wrapped up and edited, and the title will come from what you've written.

In the ancient land of Gaul, the gods communed with the mortals in mystical ways. The mighty Cernunnos, god of the forests, watched over the wilderness with a gentle hand. The goddess Epona, protector of horses, guided travelers on their journeys. And the mischievous Sucellus, god of the underworld, played tricks on unsuspecting souls. Together, they weaved a tapestry of magic and wonder that enchanted the people of Gaul for generations.

Salary? Perhaps a little education would be appropriate here. Some jobs pay you by the hour. Some jobs pay you by the month (flat rate, no overtime).

Some jobs pay you by the piece. (I'll give you $2.00 for every gaget you make for me provided that it passes QA inspection) Some jobs don't follow ANY of the above guidelines. A realtor is paid a percentage of the sale price of every house that sells. (generally 1.5% to the listing realtor, 1.5% to the listing broker, 1.5% to the selling realtor, 1.5% to the selling broker. But that's just a general rule; everything is negotiable) Other types of salesmen/women are also paid a percentage of their gross sales. Entertainers are paid a percentage of sales as well, but it's often a sliding scale... that's why they need an agent. The agent negotiates how much the entertainer is paid. Singers, actors, boxers, golfers, and yes... even romance writers, are paid whatever they can negotiate. It's usually some kind of percentage of the sales or a flat rate per book with special consideration if the book is turned into a movie. There is a special phrase for that kind of work, "You don't get what you're worth, you get what you can negotiate."

Maybe something like:

- A fishy kind of love?

- Water babe?

It would be better for you if you finished your story before you decided on the title because it can open your mind a little. Basing my answer on what you have told us about the book, I would mix the water concept with the romance to create a title. :)

This comes from the dual meaning of the word "demented". It can refer to either (1) a person suffering from dementia OR (2) a person who is mad or insane (regardless of cause). Since the second definition is much more commonly used, it is the one reflected more often in television and written materials. Usually people suffering from dementia in television and written materials are treated empathetically because of the sadness associated with memory loss.

His exact location is unknown.

Pseudonymous Bosch is the anonymous pseudonymous author of the Secret Series. Not much is known about him other than that he has a passionate love of chocolate and cheese and an equally passionate hatred of mayonnaise. Rumors of Boschian sightings are just as frequent and about as reliable as reports of alien abductions. If you ever meet anyone claiming to be Pseudonymous himself he is almost certainly an impostor. The real Pseudonymous is said currently to be hiding in a cave in a remote jungle (although there are contrary reports that he is somewhere in Greenland).

A policeman or policewoman is a law enforcement officer who is responsible for maintaining public order, enforcing laws, and investigating crimes in a community. They are often depicted as brave, dedicated individuals who uphold justice and protect and serve the community they work in.

Only you can come up with a good name! Book Titles come from the story, not from some anonymous person on the internet!

Think about your story - what is going on and who are the people involved? Bullies are mean and cowardly - think of a title that reflects that; or you could have a title about being scared or being bullied.

You could start a fantasy story by introducing a unique setting or world, establishing the main character and their motivations, and hinting at an impending conflict or quest that will drive the narrative forward. Setting the tone and atmosphere early on can also help draw readers into the fantastical elements of the story.

Here's a link to show you how to think of names for your stories -- don't depend on some anonymous person on the internet to write your story for you!

Setting and Character are a lot a like. As a matter of fact, setting is character. Setting can set the tone for what the character does. But sometimes the setting is forgotten by the author.

1. "How was your day?" "It was good, thanks for asking."
2. "What time should we meet tomorrow?" "Let's aim for 10 a.m."
3. "Are you coming to the party tonight?" "I can't make it, I have other plans."
4. "Do you need help with anything?" "No, I think I got it covered."
5. "What's your favorite movie?" "I love comedies, they always make me laugh."
