Writing a story. We are all storytellers.

“We all live in a network of stories. There isn’t a stronger connection between people than storytelling.”

Let us learn some basics about story writing.

Beginning: The beginning or the introduction of a story is of essential importance. You must have come across some often used beginnings to stories like, “Once upon a time” or “A long time ago”. However, you can get more creative and begin your story with intrigue.

• Character Introduction: Your story will depend heavily on how well you write your characters. Also, do not include unnecessary secondary characters, every character of the story must have a purpose.
• Plot: Here is where the actual narration of the story will happen. The events that occur or the description of the situation will be written in the plot.
• Conclusion: And this is where the story will come to its logical conclusion. Also, it is not necessary to give your story a definite ending. A cliffhanger is another effective tactic.

A Wise Old Owl

There was an old owl that lived in an oak. Everyday he saw incidents happening around him. Yesterday he saw a boy helping an old man to carry a heavy basket. Today he saw a girl shouting at her mother. The more he saw the less he spoke.  As he spoke less, he heard more. He heard people talking and telling stories. He heard a woman saying that an elephant jumped over a fence. He also heard a man saying that he had never made a mistake.  The old owl had seen and heard about what happened to people. Some became better and some became worse. But the old owl had become wiser each and every day.  .
