Elements of Story - UPDATED

Updated Mar. 18th 2009

The following is a self-discovered list of elements contained in an excellent story:

An interesting and intriguing main character, an individual with a unique past that has made him who he is at the time of the story. Be sure to explain the important aspects of this backstory where appropriate.

This main character must have a story goal: a mission to accomplish, a mystery to solve, his past to reconcile, a villain to overthrow, a treasure to find, a person to save, etc.

Along with this goal, the character must have an all-consuming desire that drives him to accomplish what he sets out to achieve. Love, reElements of Story - UPDATED4 years ago in Writing

Propaganda - Enemy of Fiction

The Enemy of Good Fiction
~ PROPAGANDA! ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Many people have asked me, "Why don't you watch TV anymore?"

I do, sort of. I play movies that I buy and rent on my TV regularly. However, I Don't watch cable TV or local TV, and I NEVER watch sitcoms or Reality TV of any kind. If I want the news, I go to the internet.

Why Not? Because there's too much Programming going on in those programs, and not one drop of Reality in Reality TV -- especially the Law & Order ones.

How You Can Use TV to Inspire YouHello there! This is the first of many articles I shall write to help people create. I will focus on writing, but of course, many of the articles could work for any other art. Please remember, if you have a hard time watching something and need to read it, there is always closed caption! If TV is simply uninspiring to you, don't use it. I find fishing totally uninspiring, but if it helps you, go for it.

Now, on with the inspiration - in no particular order!

1) EDUCATION

TV has a wealth of shows that show us how our world works. From careers, to companies, to the animal kingdom - and to space!

2) COMMERCIALS

New FloridaHello and welcome to Mariah Reviews Mary Sues. I’m your host Mariah Susannah, and I’m hoping you’ve all read my rules and understand I’m bashing the character, not the author.

For the first review, I believe I should do something short, simple and close to my heart. And what could be closer to my heart than the first fandom that inspired me to write fan-fiction?

How You Can Use Video Games to Inspire YouHello again!

The last article touched on television and how it can help authors get creative. Now I'm going to dive deeper into the TV area. Video games are an excellent source for the creative mind, be that mind a writer or otherwise. If video games are simply not your thing don't worry about it. Not everyone is inspired by the same inspiration.

1) DRESS UP GAMES

This is good if you want a basic, female character - one you don't mind changing once you get the basics down. You could make a male character as well, but they are not as varied as their female counter-parts. Sometimes you can add animals. Others have a selection of cars and furHow You Can Use Video Games to Inspire You1 month ago in Writing
