Hello, I am here to tell you how to make your basic story. If you type faster than you write, I'd suggest using your computer for typing, and have few written things, vise versa if you write faster. Anyways, all you need is a computer (already have it if your veiwing this), some paper, a pencil, and a place to write. Once you have collected those things, you can begin the process of making a story.
Ok before you can get started on writing, you need to get an idea. It doesnt have to be anything serious like Tom Clancy style military melt down or anything. Just some idea to base your story on. Lets say that there is some evil robot army and the humans need to create some human enhancement or something. That could be your idea. Now comes the fun part of making the story, making the characters.
Grab a sheet of paper and just start writing down traits you would like a character to have. Maybe it is a stupid girl with a trippy finger on a trigger, or maybe some super powerful guy with a soft heart. Anyways, lets make up Boby Tettet. Bobby will be an average teenager with no special powers or anything. Try to make a few characters that you will see a lot and that will add a lot to the plot line (we will get to there later). We will also add George H. Kaffe as the evil bad guy.
Ok now that you have some characters, you got to give them a location of where they are going to be. Maybe like a different planet or even a city ruled by drug dealers, it doesnt really matter. For this story I will put them in a city ruled by war hungry robots that control them with strict rules.
Here is my favorite part, the brainstorming. Sit down and start putting ideas of what the characters would do, maby even do a few doodles of the guys. After you get a few ideas, try writting segments of a few of the ideas put together. Something like the following. (Note, it is really small so it doesnt take up a lot of space.
Bobby hides behind the couch so that the evil robot in his bedroom watching Dr. Phill wouldn't find him. He loosk to his left to find a bowl of potato chips that have bugs crawling all over it. There are purple bugs, green bugs, bugs bunny, and even one pill bug.
After you get a few of those, try to thread them together by adding other things between it. After a while of writting, you will have your basic story. It wont be very long, or it might be super long, and it could be somewhere in between. It doesnt matter. You have created your very own story!
