One Tip to Better Story Writing

I have been writing stories since I do not know when. It has been a great way to work and enhance my creativity. In the beginning, it was all fun and games as I wrote it for myself. Once it became a profession, I noticed people starting to question the quality of my stories. I did not know what happened.

The stories sounded perfect to my naive ears. Somehow my clients did not feel the same. It became tough to convince and sell the story. I believed in the story, though they never got it. But it took me a few weeks to realise that the issue was me, not them.

I had been writing all the stories from the point of view of the Hero, the lead, or whatever you call the main character. I put myself in his/her position and plotted the story. This made the lead the most righteous person who is invincible, multi-talented, and without any negatives. The lead became a role model personified with no flaws, whatsoever.

So, do not be the hero of your story!

Take a step back and look the characters you are creating. Look at them from different perspectives. You will be able to develop your characters with a proper definition. Try and see the change for yourself. The characters will be well rounded and compliment each other.

I changed the way I write. I started looking at the characters from a third-person perspective. It helped me develop characters that are realistic with flaws and vulnerability. Since then, my clients have been happy with my work. In turn, making me happy.
