NARRATIVE WRITING

When writing a story, there are several factors that must be borne in mind
...


Whose Story Is It Anyway?
Point of view determines which character readers will follow throughout the story and from what
distance
...
" This technique comes in handy if you want readers to
experience greater closeness to your narrator
...
Third-person omniscient, for
example, makes the narrator aware of all thoughts of all characters, while third-person limited
omniscient keeps readers in only one character's perspective for the story's duration
...
Writers usually take time to brainstorm each character's background, interests,
major relationships, fears and other significant facts, as incorporating these details can give
readers a clear picture of the character's personality

Story Architecture
Story structure is an important technique for making sure your story is built on a sound, wellplanned foundation
...
The first pillar introduces the main characters, the conflict that sets the story in
motion and what's at stake for those involved
...
Story
structure lets authors map out their plots and see the crucial points where things begin to change
for their characters
...
Scenes bring
stories to life; readers can experience imagery, feel the tension between characters and witness
the moment-by-moment responses of characters to the plot
...
Scenes should be reserved only for the story's
most important events, like action sequences, blow-ups between characters or important plot
developments
