A story must have a plot. No exceptions. If there is no plot there will be no story. If you just randomize things you will confuse the crap out of your readers. And when readers are confused you won't get very good reviews. Also be original! Do NOT copy the ideas of others. Unoriginal stories are frowned upon and end up uninteresting and that is a turn off for potential readers. So come up with ideas. This may take some time but it is totaly worth it! Once you come up with an original story plot do some research and make sure you know the plot details inside and out backwards and forwards. Know the time period, landscape, buildings and archetecture, and weather. These are all very important details to research. Then once you have all of this figured out you can move on to developing characters. The topic of characters is found in a different blog post. Anyways after the characters comes the time to put the story together and make it really come to life. While putting it together you will want to make changes and that's ok but make sure you're sure of your descisions. The same with adding or taking something out of a story. Well that's all I got for plot.

I know I haven't blogged in a while, sorry, but I've been running out of deep thinking questions to ask so I'm going to talk about different topics of writing. The first topic that comes to mind is about characters. Characters can either be in first person, second person, or third person form. First person is when everthing is from the main characters point of view. They will usually use I or myself. SecOnd person point of veiw is from the writers point of view (very similar to third person) and usually includes more details about surroundings and other characters. Third person point of view is when the writer is writing specifically from their point of veiw by describing the main character(s), subordinate characters, and setting in more detail to bring the story to life and make the reader feel like a part of the story. Now for main characters, weather good or evil, they have to have a personal outlook on life. And they have to have certain personality traits that only that character can have. Take a villain for example, in a fan-fic story that I read the villain was a main character and had the outward appearance of an innocent woman when deep inside she was a psycopathic killing monster. Now if you want the main character to be a hero of some sort you'd think that he/she should be strong but that is not always the case. Herod can be found anywhere in any shape or form. I would give a hero a good heart and something to fight for though.
