How to Write a Great Creative Story
The thought of youthful innocence came swirling in my soul like a little whirlwind full of dry summer dust. I created the characters along with a back drop and began to build the story around them. I knew the mind of the little boy from my own experiences in life and had to work a little harder on the girl. I had to become 11 years old again.
The title “Summer at the swimmin’ hole and Tammy’s pie of life” didn’t come to me until the end of the story. The first feelings of love may be the greatest feelings we ever have. I enhanced the story with that very thought. If I were going to tell anyone how to write, I would tell them to make one emotion the trunk and grow all of the branches from it. To make a great story, song or novel, I believe that one basic emotion has to flow from beginning to end.
Let the words flow from a thought of emotion.
Don’t think about what to write, just write. Don’t think about the middle or end of the story, it will come. Walk through your mind with the story. If it is in a room, be in the room. If it is in a meadow, be in the meadow. You must be a witness to your story. Your creative imagination will fill the room or the meadow with words.
A thousand beautiful stories are in every writer’s heart just waiting to be written. The only thing that can ruin a story is to over think it or ponder fame and fortune as you write. You will know that it is great when you read it the first time and the hundredth time. It is a wonderful feeling!
