How to create a great story
To create a great story, the first thing you should be clear about is what that story will be about, it will be a love story where a wide variety of feelings are explored, it will be a story full of suspense where you will have readers expecting what will happen to their favorite character or you will tell a life experience that will possibly serve other people in the future.
Fictional stories have something real, nothing is 100% fiction or totally real A good story is created with real experiences and with moments that can only happen in people's imaginations, but just by imagining it it becomes real.
Through My Window is a story that has a fairly balanced percentage of reality and a fairly balanced percentage of fiction and complies with the above, because there is always something in our reality that motivates us to write a story In the case of Through My Window, it was the writer's attraction to a neighbor, which led her to create the wonderful story that everyone knows.
My inclination is toward romance stories, but that doesn't mean that the story can't contain a bit of mystery, crime, suspense, or action. The story of the sinking of the most famous ship in history, the Titanic, was told through a romantic story that emerges between a couple from different social classes, and here comes the cliché, which is that forbidden love that is not approved by society and that leads readers and viewers to believe that everything is possible when love is true, that there is more than just being the wife of a malgenious and arrogant millionaire man.
The hero must always exist in all stories, and there will always be the person who must be protected It is the law of life. We go to movies and books to escape reality, that's why we want to see loves that fight against sky, sea and earth so that we can be together, so that love can flourish. I like movies where there are good villains, who in a trio after that win hatred and at the same time admiration from the audience. To tell a great story, you must start with a powerful sentence that captures the viewer, such as “Everyone says it was the fault of the snow” “One detail you will die” and just like these quotes, there are many more that can leave you wanting to read one after the other, after another and another line.
The narrator can be present in the story or simply be someone who narrates without participating, as is the case of the book thief, where the narrator of the whole story is nothing more and nothing less than the very death that has been enchanted by our beloved book thief. It may be that before you have all the text that goes in the middle you have the ending and you only need to develop the events that are creating, entangling and unraveling the novel. Words are a connection of ideas that arise while you touch the keys on the screen or while you pick up the pen and begin to capture in your notebook those things that attracted attention while you spent the day at the bank, office, supermarket or even in the pharmacy.
There are stories that don't have happy endings, you know what they say if you're happy it's because it's not the end, life is a sea full of waves and you must take advantage of this reality so that your protagonist experiences a great wave of emotions full of great impact that make everyone who see it believe that his life is not as miserable as they thought, using the comparison of stories. #chatgpt
