How I make an Original Story
Before making an Original Story or Series start with a basic idea and work your way up and evolve your story. Try practicing with making more of or the same genre, or you can try to be diverse and make wider and various types of stories.
1. Name of the Series
In my opinion naming a Series should be simple and not too complex. Easy for the audience and the readers to remember. The name should also have a meaning to the Series, for example: ''Club Redemption'' the series is about a new high school rich girl trying to make up for her mistakes at her old school with making new friends and evolving and being her better self.
2. Theme and Meanings
Themes are important cause its used to know the type of genre the story (example: Romance, Comedy, Action, Horror, etc.) has and are usually more shown. In stories there are a lot of meanings to them, they are usually shown in a more poetic way (example: helping others like superheroes in stories.)
3. Characters
The characters are divided to their groups and or roles. They are 3 important characters: Main characters, Side characters, and Antagonist. Each character should have their role or purpose in the story except for the background characters.
The Main characters are the ones who are shown the most and the story would usually revolve around them.
The Side characters are extras but also help the story to fit in with helping the Main characters, they also help with putting a scene and scene together more perfect in my opinion.
The Antagonist would be an enemy or a rival to the Main characters, they would be used to add more drama or debt in the story. But they usually have a meaning to their behaviors against the Main characters.
Background characters are not important, but it's also good to analyze and make them blend with the surroundings and the background. For example: a crowded road in a city.
4. Settings
The setting is important to any Story or Series. Because the setting is the place, time and moment of each line and each action takes place. It can give more of a bigger idea of the place and the location of the story.
5. Storyline
Storylines are not easy to make. The storyline has 2 important parts.
1. Beginning : the beginning is where your story starts, with the time and place selected. This could also be used for your main characters and story introductions.
2. Ending : you should always know when things need too end in your story or series. Because it can cause a big problem, which is making the plot to different on it was intended to be. That is why you should always make the ending before starting to make the plot.
6. Style
Style is important in many things, now it's about making a Story or a Series. The style should be simple and effectionate so that it can be easily written for the writer, but also easy to read for the readers.
7. Comments and Tips
Listening or reading people's comments or tips are useful sometimes. Sometimes getting criticism is a good way to improve but you also need to do what makes you comfortable.
8. Enjoy and Work hard
If you want to start making a story or series, you should find motivation and passion into starting one. But also make one in your own way and your own liking as well.
