Allow me to give you a little advice about writing
fiction. First, make your characters believable. Make sure that they behave and
talk as individuals. In real life, everyone is unique. I fall your characters
speak the same way and react to things in the same way, you'll lose your readers
from the start. Once your readers believe in your characters,
you must get them to care. Each reader must be able to identify with at least
one character, to almost become that character in his or her mind. You can do
this by developing characters with genuine human traits, both good and bad. The
individuals who populate your story should have human strengths and
weaknesses. Now it's time to weave your tale, to create a plot.
Your readers are part of the story now; they are involved. One
last thing. Your story must touch the readers' emotions. If you can make them
laugh and cry along with your characters, you will be a successful
writer.
