8. Give your readers as much information as possible as soon as possible.
Readers should have such a complete understanding at what is going on, that they could finish the story themselves should cockroaches eat the last few pages.
#WritingTip #NarrativeDesignTip
7. Write to PLEASE JUST ONE PERSON.
Write to one person and you’ll speak to many.
#WritingTip #NarrativeDesignTip
6. Be a sadist.
No matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them.
In order that the reader may see WHAT THEY ARE MADE OF.
#WritingTip #NarrativeDesignTip
5. Start as CLOSE TO THE END as possible.
Your end is like a magnet pulling the story forward. The closer you start, the less you wander and the tighter is your plot.
#WritingTip #NarrativeDesignTip
4. Every sentence must do one of two things:
- REVEAL CHARACTER/ STORY
- ADVANCE THE ACTION
(If it does neither, you don’t need it)
#WritingTip #NarrativeDesignTip
3. Every character WANTS SOMETHING, even if it is only a glass of water.
(characters need goals and reasons for being there)
#WritingTip #NarrativeDesignTip
2. Give the reader at least one character he or she can root for.
(Pixar said it best: “You admire a character for trying more than for their successes.”)
