How to Write A Successful Story

Tip 1: Never Force Yourself to Write.

You should be writing at your own pleasure! Forced stories turn out to be really bad. Some say they get good ideas from the Muse Goddess (she's like this lady that comes and gives you ideas, then runs away and you get stuck again.)


Tip 2: What to do if You're Stuck

I know! I get stuck so many times too!!! Don't have ideas? Same here. I usually just simply take things that had happened recently and merge them into my story. Say I'm writing about vampires and werewolves. Then say I have a dream about someone serving three masters and their best friend is the king of the mountain for some reason. Don't despair. We could make the main character serve the three masters and the friend not exactly being the king of the mountain but make a twist in which the reader finds out that the friend has royal blood in them.
Songs and different movies and books help so much too!

Tip 3: How to Title a Story

A title is basically a small tiny summary of what happens in the book. Say the the book Eragon. Its about a guy called Eragon going out and finding a stone that turns out to be an egg of a dragon. BUT! The title does NOT have to be exactly all about the book. I was writing a story about girls waiting to be bought in cages...and when i labeled "In Waiting" as in to be published...i realized that was the perfect title for it! How about this? A book about teens going out and stealing things for their main Boss. The book is called 'Thieves Like Us'. In the book one character says that line and this the book was named. (or so i believe, lol)

Just chill, write your book then think about the title. Think about it while you eat, look up in the dictionary, ask friends, etc.

Tip 4: Develop a Setting

"They say I must have one...but I don't? I haven't been anywhere. Help"

Me too. Like someone said, "Your either research a place...or make up your own and at the end simply state that any names that match is pure coincidence." I would make up a place too. Its really easy.
