Many new authors think they have to have some kind of "catchy" beginning to "hook" the reader. This is true to a certain extent - you do need an interesting beginning, but you don't need to think of some sort of artsy-fartsy or way-out "hook." When you start your story, figure out where the action begins, and start there. If you start too soon, you end up with boring descriptions of what happens before the action starts - just skip to the action! - you can always toss in the description as a flashback or explanation if it's really needed later.
Many authors find that an outline helps them to figure out where to begin their story. If you list everything you're going to have happen in your story, you can look at and decide which part is the best part to begin with, and also decide where the story naturally ends.
The end of your story should be the point just beyond the climax (the part with the most action or suspense in it). Everything should be wrapped up or explained, and the character should be ready to go on to a new adventure or return to the way things were before the story began.
Here are some specific ideas to think about:
Sometimes it can be effective to start with an interesting and important episode without explaining anything, then skip to another character, place or time. In my opinion, endings shouldn't tie up all the loose ends; leave some things for the reader to wonder about. Never use the main storyline - tie up the main storyline, but you don't need to go into all the consequences. So did he actually propose? What happened to ___? Will he get away with it? Are they going to convict him?
To write different endings for a story, consider the choices and consequences of the characters. Think about what could happen if they made different decisions or were in altered circumstances. Experiment with changing key events, character motivations, or the overall message of the story to create alternative outcomes.
First you should come off with something your reader won't suspect, like "And that was the day my cat died", or "The day my cat died...", or "Snot and Avocado was what my day was like"
OR, come off with a less wacky approach and start with a mystery or drama or something. Just don't get ahead of your reader by putting something that needs a lot of detail to explain and keep your talk minimal.
Endings are crucial. Period. Every genre of stories has a different ending, so you kind of need to know what your genre is. If you are writing fiction, like most, you need to follow these short, simple steps.
Fantasy, mystery, and most fiction end with a ending that makes you think, that was a good book.
The ending for these forms of stories have to be like a sign out, almost as if you are saying goodbye to someone dear.
Just wrap things up, get all the characters settled, and stop writing.
For a story, you need a slightly different sort of opening than you do for an academic paper, where you introduce your topic.
In a story, you need to introduce your character and/or your situation in a catchy way, so the reader will keep on reading.
Here are some tips:
Here are some famous story openers - you can see how they catch your interest.
You must start your story however you want to. You cannot write a story that some anonymous person on the internet decides is a good story. You're the writer! Write what you are interested in, because that's the only story you're going to want to write.
That all depends on the author and what direction they want to take with the story. Most stories start by introducing characters, the setting, and the plot, and end where all problems are solved.
Why anyone would want to write a story that begins at the end and ends in the middle I can't imagine, but I suppose it could be done. Starting at the end - or near the end - is possible, and is often done. For example, you might start with your heroine being involved in an awful auto accident, but you must not reveal whether she survived or not. Save that for the true end. This creates suspense and reader interest. It isn't really possible to write a story that ends in the middle, because the fact that it ends at all makes it the end, not the middle.
You use your imagination.
Read the story and then decide what else might have happened instead of what the author wrote. For example, what would have happened in Harry Potter if Neville had beaten Voldemort instead of Harry doing it? Or what would have happened in Star Wars if Luke had decided not to become a Jedi?
WikiAnswers cannot write your story for you. "Sad" means different things to different people. Write what you think is saddest, and it will be your story. Don't depend on some anonymous person on the internet to tell you what to think!
Once upon a time there was a person who was too lazy to write their own story so they posted this on wikiawnsers "Write a story ending with 'a friend in need is a friend in deed?"
An alternative conclusion.
The ending of a story can mean different things depending on the rest of the story. Fairy Tales typically have happy endings with a moral lesson.
You write it wherever you wrote the rest of the story. I'm not really sure what you're asking about - is this some sort of assignment or are you wanting to write fan-fiction and change the ending of a story someone else wrote? Do you want a blog-type site like LiveJournal or something like Wattpad? Click the link for some ideas.
The answer to that question relies entirely on your imagination. We have the story as it was presented to us by the author. The rest is up to you. If you'd like, you can write your own fanfiction ending to the story, and it can be anything you want it to be.
yes! so if I'm talking to you in a story... and you say: "So, do we have to write dialogue from a different person on a different line?" "Yes, you do have to write on a different line." "Thanks!"
WikiAnswers will not write your story for you. We WILL help you learn how to write it!What would make you miss your family? What would you miss about your family? Make the story about whatever it is -- tell why you miss it, then put that sentence in the end.Click the link to learn more about becoming a writer.
