Fictional Stories - Just Imagine And Write! What's The Fuss?

The other day I was reading about fictional stories and novels and how to write them. Imagine, people have written books on how to write a book! There are such a huge number of tips and methods being distributed online and otherwise that it could fill an entire ocean (if somebody dumped those tips in it! But, why would anybody?). Ok, the thing is that whether these tips and methods really work. Do they truly make writers? I mean, if a person does not have a flair for writing, can he or she deliver a gripping fictional story? Hmmm…

Writers are born, not made. Yep, they can be polished though. But, this"polishing"or"refining"of the writing skills can be done only on born-writers, mind you. Say, somebody has a technical mind, who loves to dismantle machines and even communicate with them. Such a mind would not be interested in exploring the world of words. What if this person reads books on how to write fictional stories? Do you think he or she would be able to produce an original and amazing novel? Well, I am not gonna answer this. It's for you to ponder.

What actually is needed for writing fictional stories? Creativity, of course! But, this is not enough. Every human species on this earth is creative. But, not all can create a masterpiece on paper. Besides being creative, you need to be sensitive. You need to feel from your heart, feel everything that's happening around you. Next is another c-word: crazy. Yes, guys, creativity makes you nuts! And we're not talking about those lunatics in asylums. We're talking about people who have the guts to do bizarre things. They are not bound with petty things, most common being,"what will people say?"

They act from their heart. Of course, you need a mind to write fictional stories, an intelligent mind that is. But, your heart should direct it. The characters that you create, the dialogues that you deliver, and the scenes that you enact on paper are the result of a free and frivolous imagination. You need to have an unlimited imagination to create stories that grip your readers till the last word. If you can do this, you need no book that guides you to write stories. Ah yes, you can seek advice from experts and writers of bestsellers for publishing and marketing your fictional story.

But, when it comes to writing fictional stories, trust your heart and unleash your imagination. Your mind will start working towards it naturally. Whether you want to write about your own life or something else, you must keep chu
ing those ideas. And if you face the writers' block (which happens with writers and is normal), you must find a way to combat it. The best way to do this is to brainstorm. Just start scribbling anything that comes to your mind. It can be irrelevant stuff too. Sooner or later, your mind will pop open and a flood of ideas will fill you.

So, are you still looking for books for guidance? Just read my blabber twice and thrice and you'll find yourself writing already.
