Story writing specifics 1.0

The greatest obstacle in a writer’s path is lack of confidence.
One of the best tools we posses is adaptability- the ability to change our ideas, thought flow process, and wordings in order to suit a story.
the story we tell in turn, reaches the heart of our intended reader. although, not all stories are effective. to make it more effective;
you could make the story more relatable, you could also make it more dramatic. one key ingredient is knowing the difference between your story, plot and your initial idea and how to synchronize them. for example; my idea is to write a story on a murder mystery, the story could be: on the arrival of the police, “Rebecca shot Alan” then for the plot; “Rebecca shot Alan because he knew too much” but then, “Rebecca is a hired assassin, she killed alan when she discovered that he’s an undercover agent” that further explains why she shot him, which is also a plot. why is this important?
your readers have to know the direction your story is going. they’ve to be informed on every twist and turns, they can’t be left out. doesn’t seem fair enough to read a page or two of your work and be like, “what’s this person talking about?”
The above would lead you to extract the essence of the story into a brief one sentence summary (called a Logline) usually made to stimulate interest. To stimulate interest basically means to reach the heart. that’s the first thing you want to think of before you start writing.
in my next post, there’ll be a continuation on this subject. feel free to leave your comments and let me know if this was helpful.
