I don't want to write a BOOK right now, just a story on Wattpad.
I want to know: Should I think about the ending of the story first or just start writing until one spontaneously comes to mind? Should I also come up with the title of the story now or wait until the story is over? And what's the best way to start a story?

Loading...Hey, yeah, I need gender-neutral names for a book I'm writing. I already know a few names, but I can't find one that fits my character in the book.
Hi. I'm a hobbyist and I like to hang out on a writing website where I usually publish Warrior Cats fanfics. I do the covers myself using Ibispaint X (I don't have any other drawing apps), but they don't turn out particularly well. Does anyone know how to create good Warrior Cats covers? LG, Blacky
So, the question is already above. My OCs are called Mistbreath, Lotus Blossom, and Pantherheart. I don't have any ideas other than names. Profiles with their appearance and personality would be great! Thanks in advance!
I'm looking for a town name for my book. I've been Google-searching for a long time for small towns in America that might fit the theme of my story. Without success. And then I tried to come up with a name myself, so I could design the town where the story would take place. I've…
Hello! I've been writing for a while now and thought I'd like to try writing a play (a tragedy). For me personally, it's about practice and the learning process, not about finding an idea. I'd like to write about a social problem, like the work "Andorra," which focuses on the many prejudices. Does anyone have…
Hello, I'm looking for a nice Turkish female name for a short story. She is a strong woman who had to assert herself as the only girl among three brothers. Her family is important to her, but so is her work. I'm German, so unfortunately I don't know much about it…
Every way you’ve counted somehow works, at one more, at the other less. You can just try what’s best with you.
Typically, one considers either quite rough the action and then the main characters with their properties or otherwise. This “skizze” is then used more and more precisely until you really start writing. The title is often considered only after that, but it is often written. You just rarely write on it, but you can also enjoy it.
The beginning is often a tricky thing, but it also depends on the action. Maybe it works well when you first plan the action and then you can think about a cool entry. If the story is not to be so long, for example, often, but not always, an abrupt entry is better than a lengthy presentation of the characters.
Thank you so much
The end should be known to you.
You can wait until the end of the book, because sometimes one of the titles comes to write. It doesn’t have to be. Sometimes you know the title from the beginning. But if you don’t know the title from the start, you’ll have at least one preventive work title for your work too.
The status quo is described at the beginning of the first file of a story. From there, the main character turns into an adventure.
It’s very boring to tell a person’s everyday life, and that works. Give all this an exciting frame, e.g.: Perhaps the main character is just with the psychologist & tells the therapist about their current situation. Or open the first chapter with a birthday party, where all are important figures for the action.
Very popular is also a chronological review for the first chapter. You can then play the second chapter at the very beginning of your action, after a time jump. This is also relieved because you don’t have to be totally creative anymore & let your action begin. Famous books like Eragon or Harry Potter have done this. Or you let your action play in a present, while the rest of the book is a look back, e.g., as in the metal drum.
If the status quo is very precarious, dangerous or very exceptional, you can simply tell chronologically. For example, in the book “He is Again” where both the story and the story begins with Adolf Hitler awakening in today’s Berlin
Consider the story in its entirety first. At least if you have a longer plan. I’ve already written something, the end was not exactly planned, and I just wrote it out, but then there were shorter things.
In a long story, you should definitely plan the plot. Not only the end, because then you have an end and a beginning and stand in the middle and don’t know how it goes on. This usually develops the biggest wound and then you sit on the rework for hours, because you need to remove any strings of action that were brilliant at the beginning, but at the end you don’t have to make any sense or weave other ones you need to get to the desired end.
The title is, don’t get me wrong, so the most unimportant thing about the whole thing. Sure, in the end, you should have one, but the title is actually what I always think of as an EVERYTHING. Because it just doesn’t matter, and you don’t need it until you upload the story. And I would have confessed that personally even when the story is finished or as good as it is finished.
What’s that about? Uploadtonus. Ideally, you keep one. It’s not bad to upload once or twice a day later, but you should probably not let the estimated reader sit on dry for 3 months because you don’t get on with a chapter.
I’ve also prescribed my story and reworked it now so that I can upload a new Kapi every Sunday… and even that’s already enormously time-consuming.
As you best start the story… your thing. There’s no secret recipe. You can write with prologue, without prologue, with a cool initial set or more what trivialem etc. etc.
I’ve been over to it now. The first sentence can be changed again in the aftermath during the revision (and you will have to do that anyway). The fear of the blank sheet is much more unpleasant in my eyes.
These are some helpful tips I thank you. I really want to write short stories to get several parts. Therefore, the end is really not relevant for the first time. I thought to introduce a plot in the first part, but this will only be done in the second or third part if you understand what I mean.
At Wattpad, you have to set a title from the beginning. However, you can change it. Take a work title that you should think of something better in the end, or complete the story before you publish it.
I’d think about how to end your story before, and also what the rough course of action is. On the one hand, it is unfortunately often the case with Wattpad that people don’t do it, and then find no significant end, on the other hand it helps (me at least) to stay there, because you have the end looking at it, and knows what to do. In addition, a good book also distinguishes something with a red thread. You often notice quite quickly when someone simply writes on it, as it often comes to conflicts that simply disappear without being resolved. (For example, a figure behaves strangely, but in the next chapter is normal again, and it is never mentioned again.) Or conflicts are not really built up, but are immediately resolved. (To remove the previous example. A figure behaves strangely, in the next chapter comes out that she was reminded of her deceased dog. In the chapter one of the figures then violates, but a chapter is later healed again, in which then a figure is caught, but then a chapter is released later etc. etc.) This simply does not create a real tension, because it is always dissolved again!
You don’t have to plan your whole story now, you can still plan something while writing, but think a bit ahead.
With no idea/explanation chapter and no twelve spelling errors in the first sentence.
Each author must find his own way to writing, his own writing style and his ideas. Unfortunately, no one knows about you, and this is also something you can learn best through exercise. 😉 Just try. Do as you think and see how it will be.
In the end, all the way to Rome… or to your novel. I personally play my stories in my head. Individual scenes, the rough action etc., and then I write them up. Then I design maps/tables for each character. To the smallest detail. Appearance, characteristics, prehistory. Your mistakes and Macken ect. The more trouble you get when expanding the character, the more alive they become. Language errors, fears and what is very good when they have a small splice. In no case should a character “perfect” be displayed. That makes him boring.
At Wattpad, I’m currently writing on a book where I give some tips for writing and how to overcome write blockages. But the book is still in work and not yet published.
I usually write on it (also on Wattpad). But of course you have to have a little pre-planned history
