-
Read Widely
Explore different genres to understand narrative styles, pacing, and character development. -
Start With Strong Characters
Great stories are built around compelling characters. Define their goals, flaws, and motivations. -
Show, Don’t Tell
Use descriptive actions and sensory details to let readers experience the story rather than just read it. -
Keep a Consistent Writing Routine
Even 15 minutes a day can help you build discipline and improve your storytelling skills. -
Embrace Feedback
