EX2 - Part 1 - What Makes a Good Story


1 Sentence Summary:  A Good Story is the Story that You Never Expected

When thinking of good story, the first thing that appear in my mind is “outside of the box”. That means a creative story that hard or even cannot be predicted by the readers. A story unique that can make us want to read more and more because of the curiosity. A split in a story is the main impression, to surprise the readers. We can call it the art of surprise.

Beside split, a good opening and e­­­nding is important also. Opening is so important to make the readers interested then they decide to continue reading. If they interested and started to like the story, they will automatically desire a good ending. They may even guess the ending all the time while reading. That’s why, a good ending is very important. Ending without split would disappoint by several readers who are expert in guessing. ­­­

Creative climax also make a good story because, this part will be the most memorable part in the story. It can be sad, stunning, thrilling, cool, etc.
Good elements is needed in a good story. Love is always what people are searching for. Without it, story may become less interesting, but not always. 
The last thing is, we as the writer have to enjoy it both ways. If you won’t enjoy reading it, you won’t enjoy writing it. Write your joy, and good things will follow.
