Now that you have done this, write out
setting of where
story will begin and perhaps where it will end. Again, this gives you a better understanding of what
character can and can not do. You don’t want to go too far off course and end up doing something completely different than what you were first expecting.
The last step is what you have been waiting for, writing
story. Now that you have a main idea of what your story and characters will do you may begin. While you are writing you may change your characters a bit, but don’t go too far out of place or it may change
entire story. If you come up with an idea of what you want to happen later on, be sure to write it down.
The best thing about writing fiction is that we don’t have limitations on what can happen. We are our characters. If we want them to be a cowboy in
Midwest we can. If we want them to be a pro basketball player on hemorrhoids we can. This is what makes writing so great. We create our own world through our words… Isn’t it wonderful?
