We've all had that moment. We sit locked into the thrills on the page and when it comes to an end one cannot help but be amazed. How did the author do that? The answer to this question lies in today's topic. So, let's talk about the elements of stories.
Today's Topic:
What makes a good story?
My Answer: To me a good story is a balanced story. A variety of elements creates depth, making the story feel more real to the reader and increasing chances for strong empathy. If the story has too much of one thing then it can be far too unrelatable. When writing a story I try to remember these five basic elements.
1. Action
2. Romance
3. Fear
4. Humor
5. Tragedy
By shifting and alternating them off each other a good, entertaining balance is achieved.
That's my answer now let's hear from you.
