How To Write Deeper Stories
Deep means to trow in everything you have. Deep means going further than you see. Deep is at the bottom of the pail, when there is a lot of hot water in it and you want to get out your hands before it is burnt. Putting your hand in it get what you want and you get it, or you don’t feel at the bottom of the pail to get what you want.
Writing deeper stories means, going into that particular subject much more and finding more information you want to tell your readers — deeper, and touch someone with your words. That is what I think and what I try to do with writing deeper stories. Writing deeper stories in a way that touch someone to do things differently or change — for example — your habit of eating chocolate and thereafter loves someone that change habits.
When I write stories about classical music, I write it with all my passion I have for classical music. And I will let you know what I know about that subject. I will let you feel through my words what I want to say within that classical music subject.
When I’m writing about writing, I want you to be a much better writer. I want you to follow the tips I gave you to look if these tips will work for you.
So, how do you write deep stories? I think it is also a matter of taste that you love to write about and what you love to read. That is what makes you a good writer.
I do this:
- Write everything you want to say
- Check your facts and stories from your inspirations
- Write with passion, so everyone feels what you feel
- Write like you’re telling the story to your best friend
Write everything you want to say
in the first place, just write everything you want to say and you need to say about what you’re writing, editing can be done later. Tell everything you want to say from the bottom of your heart, what bothers you, what inspires you, what makes you sad, or whatever it is about the subject. It doesn’t matter how long your story is. Never bother about what people comment on your stories because it is your story, the way you see the world. when someone doesn’t agree with you, just ignore it, because this is your story and the way you see. yes, of course, there will other vies of subjects, but you want to show how you think the subjects must be viewed.
Check your facts and stories from your inspirations
when you have facts in your story, check those first before publishing your story. Even when you talked to your best friend about the subject. When you talk about it with your best friends if the facts are what they have said. They will correct you when you are not sure about it or your interpretations are different then she or he meant. Check it! It is very important, so you don’t look like some liar. At least, I hate that when someone sees me like that. Your stories — you write after that — will look unreliable.
Write with passion, so everyone feels what you feel
I wrote it before, but write all the passion you have for that subject. Write everything you know about your stories subject. That’ll be very helpful knowing what you wrote and what you want your readers should know about the subject. That passion feels really good to have and looking forward to when you’re the reding. When I read stories, I want to feel and I want to read the passion you have for this subject and what you want to tell us.
Write like you’re telling the story to your best friend
I must feel — when I read your stories — that you tell it to your best friends. I want to feel through your words what you want to say to your best friend without the mask. Without hiding things you think or you believe your reading won’t read it. Yes, I want to read everything you have to say, uncensored.
Write, as said, so everyone gets tears, stay focused on your story. This all starts with the first sentence you write.
