Hi I'm Jody from Writer's life at work

and today we'll be talking about writing

tips for aspiring writers writing is a

really wonderful activity personally I

really enjoy reading and writing

historical romance if you are an

aspiring writer here are some tips to

get you started the hook the opening of

your story should be a hook that catches

the reader and makes them want to read

on usually you would start with the

conflict or point of change in some

stories you can however show a bit of

the characters normal life before

introducing the problem or conflict that

changes the character's life the hero's

journey this type of story is known as

the hero's journey and requires skill to

write the main point is that your

writing should be deliberate and not a

coincidence

the first few paragraphs should make the

reader want to continue they should be

interesting and if there is any

background information in the first few

paragraphs it should be interspersed

with conflict large chunks of background

information or description will quickly

bore the reader and should be avoided

pick up a few books and read the first

few pages to see how other writers write

them there is even a chart you can

follow specifically called the hero's

journey google it and you'll see what

I'm talking about

introduce your conflict introduce the

problem or conflict in the first few

pages if we don't know from the

beginning what the conflict is we may

not want to read on after all it's the

conflict that keeps us reading conflicts

can be internal with the character

external between the character and the

outside world or both but we all know

the best type of conflict is internal

background information background

information should be kept at a minimum

and short stories while in novels bits

of background information should be

provided in various places large chunks

of background information at one place

however should be avoided dialogue

dialogue should sound natural but should

not be exactly like real-life

conversation read dialogue aloud to see

whether it sounds right or not dialogue

should also be consistent with the

character's personality if your

character seems to be a rogue from other

descriptions but the dialogue shows them

it to be extremely nice there should be

a reason to it does the character have

multiple faces are they only that way

certain people or have you used the

dialogue that's inconsistent with the

character's personality every scene in

your story it should move it forward or

show characterization but preferably

both no scenes should be there without a

purpose during the rewrite stage ask

yourself whether the scene further

supply or show his characterization what

would happen if you throw the scene out

well the story fall apart like a sweater

would if you cut out some yarn or will

the story remain complete without the

scene if the story is complete without

the scene did the scene show some

necessary information about the

character if not then it's unnecessary

and should not be included in the story
