Cómo escribir una buena historia

"How to write a good story" starts from a strong idea: we can all be writers. Naturally, to get to work, we must develop our skills of observation, reading, dedication, and follow, step by step, certain teachings of the great writers who have preceded us. This book is a compass. Through it you can guide yourself in the exciting world of literary creation. We all have endless stories that we want and must tell. Where does this supposed duty lie? In that through literature we are capable of giving a cathartic channel to the plots that have occurred to us, or that have occurred to us, or that we know have happened and we want to narrate. Let's undo myths: being a writer is not belonging to a divine caste or a privileged group that has been touched by an unknown Excalibur: it is daring to tell the stories that boil within us and that often knock on the door with the urgency to leave. Through the exercise of literature, an important step is taken in understanding what we are. Regardless of whether you decide to write a novel, a play, a film script, a television series or any audiovisual genre, the base will inevitably be the creation of your story. And to make the stories that will make up our tales more effective, it is essential to know certain elements that this volume makes available to you in an entertaining, playful, conversational way. More than a narrative manual, it is a chat between the author and you, a glass of wine and cold meats in between. Of course, following William Faulkner, we can conclude that the writer must know the technique to free himself from it; besides, he must never be satisfied with what he does. Always aim higher than you know you can aim for. Try to be better than yourself. After all writing is an act of freedom.
