I have an awesome idea for a story, only I have one small problem. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TITLE IT! frustration builds up in my head saying "don't put it online unless you have a title" I have a summary of how it shall go, if it helps anyone.
Ten year old Micheal never seemed to fit in. He was teased at school for a multitude of things, from the odd natural pattern in his hair, to his choice in clothes. One day, he meets an older girl, who looks stranger than a platypus to an eighteenth century biologist. She tells him of his past, which he had never known, and of his new destiny of being an Eternal, one of the only two immortal species. Just one problem. He is now being chased by the other immortal species, the Nevers, and has to discover what potential he holds for this world, before they kill him. That's about the best summary I can give away without writing a book. |

That's not how a narrator works. For a style of narration that doesn't involve character's POV's, read The Hobbit or some older story like this. Otherwise, you need to focus on a specific character, setting the scene through their thoughts and actions. It's impossible to get into reading a story otherwise.
If you plan to write this, first study other styles of writing or attend a course. Then build the storyline, think about what's going to happen, plan the structure and write detailed character bios to guide the development of your story. |
