Narratives! Narratives! Narratives!

Writing to many people is a good way to get their thoughts out or either to simply tell a story. Personal narratives is my favorite style of writing beyond any-other styles. In How To Write Anything, it gives many good tips on how a writer can improve their narratives. Narratives to some people can be very therapeutic or a good way to get things off their chests. With personal narratives specifically, you are open to anything you want to write about. Many find personal narratives to be the easiest style of writing, and I couldn’t agree anymore!

With narratives, a writer needs to make sure their topic is manageable. I never really have thought about making sure the topic I’m writing about is manageable, but I now understand. You need to make sure your topic is manageable because you want to make sure your readers can relate and share similar experiences somewhat, if you are going to publish your writing. Another good tip that is important to think about when writing personal narratives, is that you should most definitely use images to help tell the story. With that being said though, you should still go into detail about what your story is about. I never have really thought about using images when writing personal narratives, because past teachers have told me not to include images. It makes much more sense, because it creates a picture in the reader's head to build around with the details also in your writing. And who does not like pictures in books?

Have you ever thought that writing something that’s been bothering you, might help you get past it? Writing can help you get over something that’s been troubling you, or it can help get something you’ve been wanting to say for years finally out. I find myself to write a lot when something is troubling me. Actually writing with pen and paper helps many people to get their thoughts out. Personally I would rather sit down and write about my troubles, rather than talking to anyone about them. Narratives are best known for being the style of writing that writers write to get things off their chest. Writing stories about a loved one who passed away, can be very therapeutic to many after they lose someone they loved dearly. Writing is a very therapeutic activity that I love to do when I have free time. It helps me escape this crazy world, and it lets me enter my own world.

Writing is a very relaxing activity, that more people should partake in. Many people in today’s society would rather share special moments through social media like Instagram. Though it is very fun to post pictures and have your friends like your pictures, it’s more fun to actually get to read a full story about someone’s experience with something. Writing is fun and you don’t have to be a professional at it to enjoy it!
