COMPOSITION 2
Sit Tight and Write On!
“Hello, I am Tom.”
Based on a name like “Tom”, do you know whether that person is a loyal friend or one who will betray you one day? How much do you know about a person when you first meet him?
​
If you are only meeting “Tom” in a story without being able to actually see him, he will become an even bigger mystery!
​
The question is: Why do we need to know more about “Tom”?
A GOOD STORY INVOLVES YOUR HEART AND MIND.
Good stories have characters that we can understand and relate to. Characters are central to a story as what they do and go through can trigger our emotions. These characters keep us reading to the end.
​
This is why writers need to let readers know more about the characters. With only a given name like “Tom” in the story, will you be able to understand “Tom” and be engaged in the story about him? We do not think so.
BE A BETTER WRITER. LET YOUR CHARACTERS ENGAGE YOUR READERS.
​
It is frustrating when you are groping in the dark, unsure of how to create well-developed and engaging characters that will bring your writing to a new level. We want you to have clarity and to ace your shot with A.I.M.
