Story Writing

A story is an account of imaginary or real people and events told for entertainment.Story writing is an art.

You can write a good story if

• your plot is good;
• you can use your imagination to develop the plot with interesting details;
• you can create suspense so that the reader is motivated to read on;
• your expression is good.

At your level, a story can be written in many ways.

1. From given outlines. You are given the outlines of a plot and you are required to build up the story. This should be easy and interesting. You don't have to invent the plot; you have simply to fill in the details in an attractive style.
2. Story based on moral. Here a moral is given ( For example, Slow and steady wins the race or, Honesty is the best policy ) and you are required to illustrate the moral with a story. If you have read Aesop's fables or stories from Panchatantra, they should prove quite useful.
3. From incomplete hints. Here you are given a couple of opening sentences. In a way, a story is started for you and you are required to continue it. It certainly needs imagination to continue the story.
