How to write a short story? part 3

And then what?

Need a strong phrase, a key sentence. What would hook the reader so that a splash occurs in his head! He would say "Wow, this is worth reading!"

Therefore, the first chapter should be either small or maybe large in 2000 words! But very interesting! Therefore, a description of the world can be left for later! In order not to scare the reader. It is necessary to lure him like fish, food ... but what is food for the reader?

That's right, an interesting text block and well-arranged dialogs. Even in spite of your not very good English in this case, they will read you!

Since the topic is interesting! It is necessary to motivate the reader, go from the first chapter to the second and third. And then include your book in the library!

And for this, you need to write something shocking.

"Dara, having drunk a glass of mineral water, suddenly could perfectly understand English and hear at a distance of 1000 meters!"

or

"Dara now knew where to look for treasures and he was ready to share this information with the reader!"

"You can find in your city, gold and silver left in the ground, in the walls, and wells by those who lived before you!"

"You can become rich! And do not work for a penny 12 hours a day!"

"You can find faded pages of history that cost money!"

"You can learn something new about old time!"

Well, or something like that. The main thing is to captivate the reader.

7. Damn, in the novel there must be a conflict. And I do not want them. But it is necessary. Confrontation! Between the good kind of character and the evil with the anti-hero!

In my story, it can be clans or infusion groups ... that stir up the water, or maybe those who want to return the colony back to a new empire? Is it all too commonplace? Isn't it easier to do without confrontation at all .... history just goes on, people live, and without conflicts ... but in literature, they are needed .... damn
