How to tell a good story, how to tell a good story

1.The subject matter is novel, and if a story is to be remembered, it must not fall into clichés. Those bad things that have been written badly, such as the detective bravely solving the ** case, the little three seducing the soil boss, and even Ultraman vs. the little monster, and so on, have been written countless times by countless people, so don't write about it anymore.

Readers can see that their eyelids are calloused, and it is difficult to shine. So, if you can come up with a new idea that no one has ever heard of, you're half the battle. The best example is the popular science program "Approaching Science", which has been complained about countless times.

Why do sows go up trees? Why can male ducks get pregnant? Why does Aunt Liu next door have a beard, but Uncle Liu doesn't have armpit hair?

2.The plot is compact, the story wins by the plot, the redundant description and narration, and the resolute deletion of what can be deleted, and never drags the mud and water. What does it mean to be "redundant"?

It's chapters that don't serve the plot. A piece of text, if it does not cause suspense, does not lay the groundwork, and does not push the main line (these three can be used as evaluation criteria), even if it helps to enrich the image of the character, resolutely delete it. Because it's a story, not a **.

3.The best way to understand the twists and turns is to avoid flat and direct narration and tell the story with twists and turns. Among them, the turning point at the end is the most important.

O'Henry's greatness lies in the fact that he can often press this last fold to the last sentence of the story. or unveil the suspense in four or two, or flip the whole situation lightly in one sentence, just like hitting a killer ball in the last second of the game, which makes people feel angry.

4.The language is straightforward, don't write the story into poetry and prose. I've seen some little girls write a short story that is full of flowers, but the actual effect is that I am not interested in reading it.

Words should serve the content, and aimlessly showing off the style and shaking off the burden will only be counterproductive.

If you want to tell a good story, you should pay attention to the beginning of the story, the main body of the story, and throw out the point of view.

1. The beginning of the story

How to begin, the best way is to directly explain the background, time, characters, and places of the story to the reader, although this is simple, but it is very clear at a glance, and the effect is very effective. "Once upon a time, there was an old monk who lived on a very high mountain... Is it a few words to explain the time, people, and places clearly? Did it also attract the reader's attention?

Explaining the time, people, and place at the beginning of the story is the most in line with people's expectations of a story, and this is how people have told stories for thousands of years.

2. The main body of the story

The theme of the story is the plot, and the plot should not only explain what happened and the development of the story clearly, but also have specific details and the feelings and changes of the characters. "There used to be a little girl selling matches on the street, and then she froze to death." That's right, this is the story of "The Little Match Girl".

But if the author had written it that way, it wouldn't have been a great work.

Once upon a time there was a little girl who was selling matches on the street on Christmas Eve, she was cold, hungry and sleepy, and she accidentally fell asleep, she dreamed of steaming roast chickens by the stove, and she dreamed of her grandmother who died. The next morning, when she was found, with a smile on her face, she died".

You see, the story of "The Little Match Girl" that we are reading now, by adding a lot of storylines and detailed descriptions, the story is immediately plumped up and imaged, making people feel the flesh and blood of the story, and people can't help but cry after reading it.

3. Throw out a point of view

When we tell stories, we don't just tell stories for the sake of telling stories, but we tell readers a truth through the stories we tell. A good story is not only impressive, but also inspires and influences readers. After telling the story, we appropriately throw out our points of view and tell the truth behind the story for the reader, which will make the reader feel a sense of enlightenment.
