10 Storytelling Techniques for Writing a Memorable Story
Craft intriguing beginnings.
Create memorable characters.
Build tension and conflict.
Construct an immersive setting.
Feel your rhythm and structure.
Develop a dramatic plot.
Add subplots for more depth.
Make your dialogue count.
Surprise readers from time to time.
End your stories with scenes that make sense.
1. Craft intriguing beginnings.
First and foremost, you need to start off strong.
If you can craft intriguing beginnings for your stories, you will make your readers want to read more and more until they get sucked into your story completely.
It would help if you made your readers want to turn the literal or metaphorical page to get to the next one from the very start of your story.
Many different parts make up a story. But the way you start will ultimately influence how you tell it. That’s why you should look for ways to make your readers fall in love with your story from the first few sentences they read.
2. Create memorable characters.
The cast is one of the most important pieces of your story. These characters make decisions, talk with each other, and move the story forward. That’s why it’s so important to create memorable characters.
Contrary to popular belief, not every character needs to be one that readers can empathize with. As long as your characters are memorable and believable, you can be certain they won’t make the story boring.
