Writing Fiction: Conflict --> Complications --> Crisis --> Falling Action --> Resolut
I was asked about tips and tricks on writing fiction. It my help someone else.
If you want to write a good fiction story. I'd say begin free writing. Turn off Spell and Grammer checking, it will only distract you from putting down your thoughts. Start at the beginning and keep writing and until you reach the end. It may sound simple, but a lot of people get bogged down with: Conflict --> Complications --> Crisis --> Falling Action --> Resolution
Those things are the basic structure of fiction. Formulate those things when you are thinking about your story.
Conflict: Incest
Complications: I'm not suppost to feel this way about a family member, it's morally and legally wrong
Crisis: I can't help myself
Falling Action: Fucking the mother/father/son/daughter/aunt/uncle/adopted (young adult)
Resolution: We live like husband and wife
You won't get bogged down with these things if you keep the elements simple, and then write. Just thinking about this, I'm going to start a thread on Lit Author Hangout.
Now for the part that gives me the most problems: Editing
Proofread, lay it down, come back proofread, let someone else proofread, and then your fourth draft will be a gem. Don't do like I do, sometimes Lit gets my first draft. The spelling and grammer police will get you.
Write for the joy of it!
