Storytelling, is an outburst of our thoughts and passion. In the famous philosopher, Edmund Husserl’s words, it’s an objective association between the emotions and ideas that you are trying to deliver. Storytelling is not just an expression of yourself, but a conquer of the reader’s minds. You are pulling them into a world that you created, instead of politely forwarding an invitation. This, is storytelling.
This is why you have to believe in what you write. Every word of your story is you telling the readers: “Listen, this is how life is like.” Of course, you can tell a story about a gang on a path covered in blood, or the feud among the blue bloods, but please make sure you have done your homework on their life, and that you know their world. Every instant of your book should be a presentation of your passionable faith in your story, otherwise the readers will sniff your inconfidence out in a blink of an eye. You are showing your love in every way you can when you pursue the one in your life, no? Passion lose in the process of communication, which is why we need to show them as much as you can. Storytelling is the same. You have to know that readers are sensitive, when your story is heading to a made-to-believe reality that’s tedium and meaningless, they WILL leave you.
You also need to carefully weigh and consider the angle you want to take, the narrative perspective, the style and pace. It’s not an easy job. You need to love writing, and you need to embrace loneliness. But in the process of denying your writing and rebuild the story, you will be rewarded with experience and result that you might not see coming. You will get to know your own story better, and you will get to know, how to better conquer your readers.
Only in this way, your readers will open their hearts for your story. They will listen, and they will fall for you.
Only write, what you believe in.

The Author's Handbook Chapter 007 A Good Opening
Now that you’ve got a theme, some characters, and a framework, you can start to build the opening of your story.This is an age of E-books.

The Author's Handbook Chapter 006 The Title
Give your story a simple title. A title is the main concept of the plot that attracts audiences who are interested.. For example, “The Postman Always Rings Twice” is better than “The Postman”.If you think too plain a title would give out too much of the surprises, create one with multiple meanings or interpretations. For example, Fifty Shades of Grey suggests the protagonist has a lot of facets of his personality.
The Author's Handbook Chapter 005 Characters
No matter it’s a fiction or a movie, it’s the characters in the story that people get attached to, not the plot itself.Stories winning the reader with its fantastic design and wild imagination are rare because with more and more stories in the market, the readers are reading more different plots and therefore harder to be impressed with surprises, because their standard for surprises increases with experience. Do not spend too much time on building the structure, because you can always rebuilt the whole thing and replace the incidents, but it’s the soul of your work that counts. So, you need to put time and effort into charact
