The reader can experience feelings and emotions with the characters in the story.The situation in the story is not the same as the everyday life of most people, but the emotions evoked by the events will be very similar.It's important to write your story in a way that makes you cry.
Step 1: The stories written by other authors are very touching.
It is helpful to think of other touching stories that you have read, as well as what you might have done differently, when planning your own touching story.You can choose specific elements of a variety of touching stories to help shape your own story.You might be drawn to stories that have a lot of dialogue and would like to incorporate that into your work.You can choose to write shorter descriptions or draw out setting descriptions.It is possible that you enjoy reading stories in which love prevails over an external triumph.It gives you a starting point for your own story.
Step 2: Make your story relevant.
You want to evoke an emotion many people can relate to in a touching story because readers can imagine and feel what the characters are going through.Emotions are what people connect with most.The maximum number of readers will get into your story.Nobody wants to read another variation of a story they've already read, so be creative and don't do something too common.Loss of a loved one, a big move, and a journey of self discovery are some examples.
Step 3: The characters will be developed.
The main characters are the hero and villain.The touching story will not be as interesting if you don't add more minor characters.When you are making up characters, write about your past.It's important to keep in mind that your characters will act in character even if you don't include this in the story.Determine what role each person has in the plot.You might have a notebook with a page dedicated to each character in which you write about them.You don't have to use every character note.You can always cut or revise details later if you have too much or too little.You can bring your characters to life here.Imagine your main character.Is she from a small town?How did she end up in the big city?Where did she meet the love of her life?What is her favorite band?Food?What is the author?
Step 4: Make a map of your story.
It is better to do some planning before you start writing.Making an outline or chart of characters, back stories, conflict, and settings helps ensure that the touching story is consistent and the plot makes sense.You can fill in any gaps in your story with this.J.K. Rowling created a chart for the Harry Potter books.She pays attention to details, planning out the action for each month of the story, as well as the plots and subplots.Her hand-written spreadsheet is used to manage everything.To maintain consistency, you should refer to your character pages.
Step 5: The setting should be developed.
The setting of your story is more than just a backdrop.The setting can offer a sort of locomotion that propels the story along, because the characters interact with it.Setting is one way to relate to your audience.Where you want your story to take place is something you should think about.Write down your location in your notebook, imagine the house, store, school, city, state, and country.Consider when this is happening.Determine the season and time of your story.Does it happen during a holiday?Do you think it would be possible for them to wave goodbye to one another at a boat dock?Do you see your story at sunrise and sunset on a boat dock, or at a high school football game?
Step 6: Your point of view can be chosen.
In a touching story, point of view is important as you want your readers to sympathize with the characters.Do you want to tell your story from the point of view of one character in particular, or perhaps as a third-person narrator so that readers are paying more attention to all of your characters?A first-person point of view is useful because you can give your readers access to your character's inner thoughts, feelings, and reactions as they experience it.Readers become invested in that character because of this interior perspective.You should only write from this character's perspective, presenting only what they would reasonably know.If you have a third-person narrator in your story, you are able to describe more characters, but with less emotional depth.One benefit of a third-person point of view is that you can explore the thoughts and feelings of multiple characters.
Step 7: You can create a writing routine.
When you sit down to write, you won't know what works best for you.You can decide if typing on a computer works better for you or if you should use a pen and paper.It is possible to inspire creativity by writing in a room in your house, outside, or at a coffee house.According to some research, writing by hand slows us down and allows us to think better.
Step 8: Don't focus on the unimportant.
Don't name characters, places, or the story at first.Sometimes when people write, they spend too much time coming up with names rather than characterization, plot details, and other vital elements.You can work on naming your characters later.Although you know your characters fairly well by now, having imagined them, written notes about them and mapped them into your larger touching story, don't worry about details right now like names.To make sure that you are focusing on writing a touching story, the substance is important.
Step 9: Make emotional connections.
The reader can connect with the story, setting, characters, and plot in a touching story.This emotional connection is dependent on something very simple, such as love or compassion, so make sure you don't overcomplicate or over-sentimentalize your story.While it is possible that someone has very, very bad luck, most readers won't connect to a story in which the main character is forced to drive a runaway train in order to save her love.The characters and storyline can shine through if less is more.
Step 10: Don't be too-sentimental.
It is possible to write a deeply touching story and not be sentimental.You want to avoid sentimentality because you can convey thoughts, emotions, struggles, and experiences without over-expressions of emotion.Emotions in your story should not be avoided.It's possible to tell your reader what a character is feeling by just saying it.You can say something like, "Kurt was feeling anxious as he stood on the porch, staring at the front door that he hadn't seen in 27 years."It's best to show your characters' emotions through actions rather than telling the reader how they feel.This will help you avoid being sentimental and will make your story more interesting.Hallie removed the photo from the side table and looked at the smile on his face.She put the photo in the drawer of the side table because she didn't want to look at it again.
Step 11: Don't get melodramatic.
Remember, you want your readers to relate to and connect with your touching story and really become emotionally invested, so be intentional with the plot, actions, and characters so that you don't slip into a sensational or melodramatic story.Less is more with a touching story.You will be believable if you are realistic.A character may have a sick parent who is unable to financially care for them.It would be melodramatic to say that the character lost their job because they had a sick child and a missing dog.What touching aspect of your story do you think your readers will connect with?
Step 12: It's important to make sure your tone evokes feelings in your reader.
You will use style, tone, and vocabulary to manipulate your writing so that it is touching and authentic.If you have one, match your tone to your audience and preferred publisher.Depending on who and what you are writing for, your tone, style, and even your word choices will be different.The mood, tone, and action of your touching story will be determined by your word choices.If you want to set a positive tone, you might describe your character as modest, appreciative, cheerful, or benevolent.As she searches the woods for her dog one night, you could describe her feelings as frantic, desperate, and terrified.
Step 13: Your characters will be sympathetic.
An effective touching story depends on readers empathizing with sympathetic characters and making them likable.Remember that less is more here.Don't overwhelm your reader with character traits; instead, be careful with how you portray your character, giving more meaning to that which you do offer.A sympathetic character may face an obstacle, have a noble cause, or love to pursue it.These aspects give your reader a reason to root for you.
Step 14: You should be aware of emotional resonance.
Bringing the characters to life and telling a believable story is how you can make your reader feel what is happening in your touching story.One way to make your story emotional is to help your readers feel what your characters are feeling.Sometimes you should tell your reader how your character reacts to a situation.What are they doing because of how they are feeling?Instead of saying, "Jose was devastated when he learned that Anna had married Sam in his absence," tell the reader what Jose did.After learning that Anna had married Sam while he was gone, Jose buried his head in the pillow.He fell into a restless sleep after he cried and yelled into that pillow.
Step 15: Write while you edit later.
It will take a lot of work to write your first draft.Don't worry about editing yet, because you should refer to your story map frequently.The first draft of your story should be spent on developing your plot and characterization.Another step in the writing process isEditing.
Step 16: The back story should be remembered.
Even the most minor characters can never have too much background.Even for the most minor characters, Shakespeare, Dickens, and J.K. Rowling paid attention to the back story.Don't overwhelm your reader with too much information at one time.It is possible that you need to spread out a character's story over several chapters.If you are writing a short story, you might not have enough room to tell the story.Pick the most important details that will help your reader understand the characters and storyline.
Step 17: The writing process can be embraced.
Touching stories are emotionally complex and you should allow yourself the opportunity to revise, focusing on different points and areas with each second look.If you work on one area at a time, you won't get distracted by other issues.
Step 18: Your story needs to be read out loud.
If you read out loud to yourself, your Aunt Martha, or your cat, you will be a better writer.Asking someone to read your story is a great idea.Hearing a story will allow you or your readers to access the story in a different way, and will help you identify issues with tone.
Step 19: Save some copies.
Make sure that you save your story in more than one place.You don't want to lose your job because of an accident.It's a good idea to put all of your drafts on a cloud storage device.Don't remove your drafts.If you want to refer to something from a previous version of your work, save each one and name it appropriately.
Step 20: Please give feedback on your work.
Ask someone you trust to read your story and give you feedback.They will be able to point out things that you forget or areas that don't make sense to them.They may have more than one thing to say about the story itself, as well as other things.A sentence that sounds fine to you may actually be worded differently.
Step 21: If you want to be paid for your work, you have to make a decision.
If you don't want to be paid for your story, what avenue of publication do you pursue?There are websites that will allow you to publish your work for free if you want to share it.If you want to be paid for your story, you can either send it to a publishing company or self-publish it.
Step 22: It's a good idea to keep your work off the internet.
Once something is on the internet, it can never be erased, so consider your options before sharing your work.When you sell your story, you are actually selling the rights to publish your work, not the story.There are different rules and rights in different countries, so make sure to check out what options are available for you.Don't share your work with others until you know what you want to do.
Step 23: Before you send out your story, check publisher information.
Before you send your story out, you should do some research.If you want to be published in a magazine or part of an anthology, you should consider.If you would like to represent yourself in negotiations over your work, consider if you want an agent.If you want to negotiate compensation for yourself, you can hire an agent.You need to cover the cost of the publication if you self-publish.You can get in touch with publishing houses and editors directly.
