What to Focus On
- A narrative tells a story in sequence.
- It may be real or imaginary.
- Clarity and order are essential.
- Introduction or Hook introduces the situation.
- Conflict presents the problem.
- Rising Action increases suspense.
- The opening line must attract attention.
- Useful words and descriptions should be listed before drafting.
- A strong beginning creates curiosity.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
A narrative can begin directly with the main incident, and the opening line does not matter much.
The introduction should be the fastest part of a narrative because it needs to reach the action quickly.
The climax is the same thing as the rising action, so both should be written in the same style.
