Some Ideas on Writing Stories

Our world has been largely diversified by all the wonderful things in it. In our daily life we have all assortments of technologies, buildings, arts, political systems, and in books we have wonderful stories and advanced theories. I can't use words to say all the things in the world, but on writing I have something to share with you.

To be honest, writing is very hard, especially story writing. How could I say writing is very hard?

Nowadays people would like to write for all kinds of sakes, but few groups of people can really keep quiet down to write a beautiful story. Maybe they think writing a story is meaningless compared with composing a profound academic article for a degree. Or maybe they just don't have stories to take down, for their brains have always been stuffed by daily responsibilities and trivial things around them. But I think people need stories to fulfill their spiritual life. So it is a heavy task for real story writers.

First, if you hope to write a good story, you need to merge yourself into your everyday life, where you can get enough materials. When you look at some funny things, you can connect yourself to some happy stories. If you see the unhappy things, you can make yourself think about the poor life about our humans. Others maybe always put them into prose or sorts like that, but you can compose stories based on them. Yes, you need eyes to see and a heart to feel.

Second, if you hope to write stories that are very beautiful and even moving, you need very good imagination, J.K.Rowling is one typical example. So in this case you need to keep thinking all the time. If you always take everything for granted, you need to squat down this moment to feel them beside you. And of course, you need to read stories as well. Because if you read stories, you will get the story-thinking way. Try it!
