If you're gonna write a good story
You need some characters strong
Who do we cheer for and against
As we follow the journey along
They don't have to be perfect
Their flaws help us relate and care
About their motivations
As they grow and try and get somewhere
The main character is called the protagonist
And they are challenged by the antagonist
Characters are important!
If you're gonna write a good story
If you're gonna write a good story
Well you'll need to pick a place
A setting that shapes the action
With details to show its space
Will you describe a sunny island?
Or a dark forest filled with fear?
Describe the location to develop
The mood and the atmosphere
How does the setting affect the characters?
What do they think? What are their words?
Setting is important!
If you're gonna write a good story
If you're gonna write a good story
Well you'll need a point of view
Who is telling the tale?
And what kind of voice do they use?
First person shows what I see
"I did this" and "I felt that"
Third person talks about them
"He ran", "she sang", "they sat"
You'll need to decide who narrates
The characters words and the road they take
Point of view is important!
If you're gonna write a good story
If you're gonna write a good story
A theme must come into play
These big ideas or lessons
Can guide the story's way
It might be about true friendship
Or courage in the face of fear
Or choosing kindness over hate
When enemies appear
Themes can deal with growing pains
Or learning things through loss and gain
Themes are important!
If you're gonna write a good story
If you're gonna write a good story
You'll need a plot that flows
Let's add some extra elements
To add interest as the story grows
Subplots might twist around it
Foreshadowing can lay clues
And pacing keeps it moving
So no one wants to snooze!
Supporting characters can be added too
To help get the protagonist through
Extra elements are important!
