How To Write a Good, Descriptive Story

Writing is very popular.You can express yourself in writing.It's important to be descriptive in your writing.How do you tell a story?You can see step 1 to start.

Step 1: It is important to have a great introduction.

The reader will want to read the rest of the story.I stood on the great mountain fortress waiting and watching.I didn't know what I was waiting for, but I knew I had to be there.It was like it was supposed to be.

Step 2: Accurately use descriptive language.

Adjectives include red, soft, slimy, magnificent, horrible, or scaly.The reader can easily picture what's happening in the story.The red, slippery snake slithered between the two thick, green thickets of leaves.

Step 3: You should create your conclusion.

It was a good ending."The End" should not be used.It's boring!No one has ever used something like this before.I looked into the velvet blue sky when I realized my journey was over.The clouds were dark.I did not get my last wish, which was to find my mother.

Step 4: Start your story in a way that grabs the reader's attention.

Unless you're writing a fairytale, you don't want to start by saying "once upon a time..." Instead, go for something immediately grabs the reader's interest like "Mary dropped to the ground as an explosion tore through the forest."The reader is introduced to both the main character and the action.Don't start with exciting action only to end up with a lot of exposition.The reader will be upset that they were only interested in the boring parts.If you start your story with Mary and the explosion, you don't need to go into a lot of detail about what the forest looked like or Mary's history.Mary is in the forest and there was an explosion.

Step 5: Your reader has five senses.

What smells like, what sounds can be heard, and what sensations are felt should be described.The reader can easily visualize what is happening if they feel like they are a part of the action.Mary can smell burning hair if she has it singe her hair.Mary should cough and choke on the smoke.It can be a plot point to have Mary get captured because she couldn't hear her attackers over the ringing in her ears.Tell the things that are important to your story.It's possible to give the reader a sense of what the area looks like, but don't overwhelm them with too much information.Trust your reader's imagination.

Step 6: Tell us about your character's thoughts and emotions.

Allowing the reader insight into your character will make them feel more connected to them.Discuss how the events of the story make them feel.How do they change because of what happens to them?Mary might be horrified by the explosion in the forest because she's dedicated her life to preserving forest habitat or because one of her friends is near the center.Maybe she's angry because of the explosion.It was horrified, devastated, and angry.Over the course of the story, their thoughts and emotions change.You don't want a character who stays the same, neither do you want one who changes in nonsensical ways.Mary might start the story ashamed that she did not stand up against the people who created the explosion, and over the course of the narrative develop strength and courage that allows her to defeat the bad guys.

Step 7: Show don't tell.

The big rule of creative writing is this.You don't want to spoon feed your reader.You want to use words that get across what you're saying without having to say it.You could say something like "Mary's hands curled into fists as she saw the smoking ruin that had once been her beautiful forest."She did not feel the sharp points of her fingernails.Everything she had worked so hard to maintain was gone.It wasn't just the smoke that made her eyes water.
