First things first...

Let’s learn to write fiction.

When you write fiction, you must:

• Decide who will be your audience?
• Think of different genres - realistic, detective, ghost, gothic horror.
• Ask what is the purpose of my writing?

When you write to entertain, remember that you must :

• Have an interesting opening and a memorable ending
• Have good characters, setting and plot
• Build up suspense
• Use dialogue - to move the story along
• Use a variety of simple, compound and complex sentences
