Writing a Story That Wants to Be Written
Do we create the stories, or just tell them? I’m of the mind that we are just telling the stories. We make the ultimate decisions, but in truly great writing, the author can feel the flow of the story and where it’s going to go. You can feel when something is forced, or just doesn’t fit quite right. You can also feel when things are progressing smoothly. You get that feeling of balance and elation that automatically tells you you’ve made the right decision.
It is a key element of writing to be able to accept everything you write straight off is not necessarily gold. Sometimes you have to change the story even if you don’t like that change. In many ways, writing a book is like putting together a puzzle, only you have to contend with pieces that don’t belong at all as well. The words have to work together to create the story as a whole. If pieces that don’t fit are used, it detracts from the final product.
Looking at the big picture is a great way to think about telling the story. If you’re questioning anything, be it a single sentence or an entire section, think about how it affects the story as a whole. Does it fit with what is going on? Is that where you want to take the story? How will it change future parts of the story? Trusting your gut is essential. No matter how much work it may require, if you feel it doesn’t fit with the story, follow that instinct and rectify the situation.
