The Important Pieces of a Story

 In the world there are many types of stories. There could be a story where the plot focuses on the main character getting revenge against the villain. Another one might be a story where the protagonist gets transported to another world and decides to live a wholesome life as a farmer. The possibilities for a story are endless!

But they usually fall into two categories: fiction and non-fiction. Non-fiction stories are stories that are based on real life events and people. Fiction stories are stories based on your imagination. This means that the plot and the character never existed in real life. Under fiction stories you have genres like fantasy, romance, action, comedy, etc. Non-fiction stories include genres like biographies, memoirs, cookbooks, true stories, self-help, and historical.

Now, obviously, all these genres have their own special focus but what they all have in common is the structure of how they are written. More specifically, there is a plot and story elements. These two things are incredibly important to a story and especially if you have a certain idea in mind for your story. After all, what could work for a thriller might not exactly work for a romance. The plot is made up of the introduction, rising action, climax, return, and then an end. Story elements include things like the characters, conflicts, setting, etc.,

These two things make up the 50% of your story while the other 50% is your imagination. After all, planning the story and implementing the story are very different (since you can do it in so many ways). Thus, plot and story elements are the two most important pieces of a story.

 

About Lively Writer

Hello everyone! I'm Lively Writer and I write to share, explain, and promote how to make your own story idea a reality whether it be romance, action, comedy, Sci-Fi, Horror, etc., for anyone of any age having problems beginning or interested in writing their own stories using helpful existing reading materials others might not know about and my own experiences. Writing/creating stories has always been a hobby of mine and combined with my love to read, I found that I could create a whole new world with my own hands. 

 

It wasn’t until my freshman year in high school that I started posting the stories I wrote online for others to read. Some of the stories I’ve created/written and posted online are Revenge of the Tortured and Where Hearts Come to Rest, though I sadly had to delete the first one due to lack of time, energy and passion and stopped writing the second one for the same reasons. However, I’ve been on the receiving end of my friend’s pleas to help them write/create their own story for far longer than just high school. 

 

The reason is because, according to them, creating/writing your own story can be daunting or even stressful and overwhelming. If they are having the same problems other people might to. So, using my own experience and any helpful reading material I come across, I hope to help make the process of creating/writing your own stories less stressful and less overwhelming.
