What is the fiction of your life?
July 18, 2008Let’s write a story about yourself.
What’s its introduction? Where does your story take place?
How can you, as a character, be revealed? How does one get to know you? By your physical appearance? By what you say, think, feel, dream, do and don’t do? Or by what others say about you? Describe it.
What kind of conflicts have you faced/are you facing? A struggle against external forces, or against your own self? A struggle against another person, against circumstances, ideas, or against your choices, against your feelings or limitations? Elaborate.
How will the turning point be? Will the conflict be resolved or not? What do you think? Do you want it to be resolved?
How do you expect the untangling of the events to be?

Answering each of these questions should be the easiest and most freeing when entering the realm of fiction. Fiction writers usually start out by writing about themselves because it’s true and natural. The conflicts, climaxes and conclusions should be easily discovered and penned into a fashion of fiction that brings the greatest concepts out of the entire idea.
