Crafting My Story

Crafting My Story   A story should have characters, where, plot, a hero, and a ending.
 
Characters   I always say to tell a compelling story it's obvious one must come up with some interesting characters. Characters are what makes your story come alive. Don't forget, they should have awesome names.  I'm quite sure other's would beg to differ. 
 
Where  Every good story should have a "where.' That's the Setting a time and place.
 
Plot  A stories plot is what happens in your story you need to have a plot to keep the story moving along. Most plots are about conflict between the characters.  Without it, you won't have an interesting story.
 
A Hero  All good stories must a hero. A hero transforms an ordinary story into an extraordinary story.
 
The Ending  Most endings, end up with a happily ever after. A resolution you could say it's like a save the day type of thing.
 
     Stories are simply the reflections of our day to day lives. Our lives are a collection of stories, the things we go through from day to day.  The good times and the bad.  Always remember, stories have a beginning, middle and an end.  Once you learn how to put them together the rest will flow.

     Would you like to hear how I began telling my stories?  Some of you may find it strange, but I began all of my stories in the middle.  Then I move on to the end.  I take a break then I start at the beginning.  I end up with three piles.  Now it's time to tie them together.
