Welcome to Donkey Houghton Writing Academy. In this video, we're going to talk about what stories really are. And also, we're going to talk about some basic tips to your mind for those more trying to write stories. These tips are applicable from the short story to a big number. But to begin with, let's look on what a story really is. Well, basically, the story is anything you can tell. Nevertheless, it is important that through our stories, which plain things deliver emotions, teach about something, and also be able to entertain the audience. Now, if you want to write a good story, there are some other things you need to know. First, you cannot expect to write a masterpiece without constant activism. The coming of a fishing writer takes time, discipline, and customs in Kervno. Either by the use of different techniques or forms to develop your ideas, but also through constant reading progress, where there's no good writer in history who has ever become a better one without reading all the authors. Second, even though your mind had great experiences or witnessed great events in your life, it is important that you take some time and analyze those experiences before you write about them. Through those analysis, you will arrive to your perceptions, readings, and bodies. Remember, the audience is intelligent, and though the month in your story has good experiences and descriptions, they will also expect to be entertained, feel different emotions, and learn something as well. Third, most part of the time and energy we use for the development of the story lies on the design of puzzles. Who will be the characters? What do they want? What are they able to do in order to achieve their goals? What does stop them from achieving their goals? What are or will be the consequences if our characters succeed or fail? In your designing, you must observe these questions and many others that may arise. Fourth, for developing a cartoon quad, we need to introduce an interesting character who is struggling with a problem either in eternal or external. This problem should be important enough for changing someone's life and also a growth interest. Common people are not necessarily interested in molecular biology or the strength theory to name a theory. Fifth, when describing your characters, please remember that some future will be assumed by the audience on the base of gender and species. So make your audience a favorite, and please don't be so obvious. And in case your character does look like an average person, try at least to describe the future in a way that we understand that those features define your character in a special way. Six, remember that characters are in emotional entities. Therefore, their reactions to the actions you describe should be proportional to those events unless your character is insane, of course. On the other hand, remember that emotions could be described using characters' thoughts, stage directions, describe and physical reactions, and of course dialogues. Finally, if you feel though something you cannot describe well, jokes and sex, for example, just tell this private anything like that. It is much better to admit that kind of information rather than providing your readers an infinite joke or a bad scene sex description.
