There is more to writing a story than simply having an idea, although many great writers would love to be able to come up with great ideas at will! The idea is just the start: then you must know how to write in a way that keeps your reader interested, and remaining with you until the final page. After that come the problems involved in getting your story or book printed and then published. One way is to start by writing short stories for magazines, but even there you need the contacts and the right avenues to enable you to see your work in print. Speed Detracts from Quality Putting pen to paper is now more of a colloquialism in these days of PCs and laptops, where most communication is carried out on a keyboard. Perhaps the loss of the simple act of filling a pen or even a nib with ink and then writing by hand has detracted from the ability to write with some people. One had the time to think while writing longhand, and it is perhaps doubtful if the great writers of the past such as Shakespeare, Thackeray, Austin and Dickens would have achieved such outstanding success had their fingers moved faster over a keyboard than their brains could keep up. Rather than logical or imaginative thought, such speed would have created its own content and our classical novels would have set somewhat of a lesser example of penmanship and literary excellence than they do today. Give Each Phrase a Meaning This is the longhand way of saying that you should pause for thought when writing, and not let your fingers dictate your mind. Think of what you are writing, and construct, not just the overall theme of your story, but also each individual sentence with thought and imagination, and make each phrase have a meaning to the tale. Knowing how to write stories is more than simply picking up a pen or clattering on a keyboard, but, as you will learn in our 10 writing tips, involves thought and planning. Every chapter should be carefully plotted out to play its own part in the overall theme. You can often use paragraphs as padding to keep the word count up, but you cannot do this with entire chapters. Tips on How to Write Stories
