Planning to Write a Story? Learn How, with Sha Lini
In three ways, we can write a story:
• Choose your favourite theme first, then develop it with characters and create situations.
• Choose a character which impressed you, then develop situations and characters.
• Choose a situation or location that impressed you, then develop characters and theme.
- Give importance to each and every character, situation and idea. Be clear with your theme or main idea.
- Let your thoughts flow free and see wherever it goes. Do not use your intentions on the character.
- Be sure- ‘Character is Destiny’. End of every character should be based on his/her behaviour.
- Try to conclude the story with a moral, directly or indirectly. I recommend R.K. Narayan’s short stories to the beginners.
