Story Basics

As I have already mentioned, I divided the story basics into 7 parts. Every story I really enjoyed have usually these parts in it. I know the ending is vague and limited but some girls really like that stuff. There are some books (for your information) that have sad or really sad or just gruesome endings. Well, here are some segments that make up most stories:

First, there is a catch on:
This part gets the reader more interested and hopefully more instead
and hopefully interested enough to get through the description
of characters.

The Explanation:
This is where  the characters get explained. This part of the story can be very boring.
Make sure you write it interesting enough so your reader won't die of boredom.
Some authors though can write very intriguing explanations.

The Plot:
Now, the plot can come before the explanation if you wish. It just matters on what you prefer.
The plot is what explains what the point of the story is and what the settings are (make it
interesting as well). You can gradually explain what's going on in the main plot like a mystery.

The Action:
Here is where you can get really creative. Make at least three good action
scenes. If you have trouble with expanding your thinking, go to Imagination.
Keep your reader alive with your creativity!

Growth in Characters:
This mid part in the story is where your characters develop more. For instance,
You can have a flash back of past problems, there's romance, or there are many
fears the character needs to conquer.

The Finally:
This is where the big stuff comes in. The problems get solved, a quest is almost complete,
or perhaps there is a big battle. This is where you can show your intense writing and
test if you can keep your reader on edge.

The Happy Ending:
Usually, fiction books have happy endings. There's a wedding
or the battle is won.
