OTRA VUELTA DE TUERCA pg(10-11)

To name your story, you have to think about the overall message and what you want your audience to understand from the story. Also, make it relevant and easy to remember.

RESUMEN

La institutriz debía cuidar a una niña de ocho años, que a la impresión era muy hermosa y encantadora, pero llegando al final la institutriz que cuidaba a la niña empezó a escuchar ruidos muy extraños.

SUCESO

The ending of a story is essential. We all know that if the ending is weak, what happened before loses its importance. So make it unpredictable, but fair. A resolved ending answers all the questions and ties up any loose threads from the plot.

Hubo un momento en que la institutriz creyó reconocer, débil y lejano, el llanto de un niño; hubo otro en que, se dio cuenta que sintió pasar por delante de mi puerta unos ligeros pasos.

This is the closure section of the story.
See examples of possible outcomes below:

• all problems have been solved
• it's clear how each one of your characters ends up
• your main character is transformed by the challenge

CONCLUSIÓN

Try answering these questions in order for you to come up with a closure:
- Have all problems been solved?
- Is it clear what happens with all your characters in the story?
- Has the challenged transformed your main character?
- How do the characters feel in the end?

A ella no la impresionó todos lo ruidos extraños, hasta el punto de ser indelebles.

PERSONAJES

In the beginning of the story (or the exposition), you will need to introduce the setting and characters. You might also want to introduce the main conflict. This part of the story is important because it gives the reader necessary background information and maybe even a first insight into a character’s personality.

Niña

Tenía ocho años, era encantadora, con cabello rubio y bonita

Señora Grose

Type in the name of your character.

ESPACIO

The middle of the story is where you add layers of complications that will lead to the end. Reveal more about the character's journey. Did their personality go through changes? How did they overcome the challenges? And as you build up the story’s central conflict, make it more personal to that character. Also, from the middle act, you have to lead into the final act.

TIEMPO

There wouldn't be any tension and excitement in your story if there weren't any obstacles in your character's way.

Pasado

A story is nothing more than a character overcoming a series of difficulties to reach the desired goal. Obstacles usually create suspense and conflict. In overcoming obstacles, there is growth: weak becomes strong; hatred turns into love; sadness into happiness; wrong into right; lies into truth; or evil becomes good.

See a few examples below:

• stopping a meteor
• finding a killer
• finding love

LUGARES MENCIONADOS

Each story has a main character and that character usually needs to solve a problem or challenge. The character's challenge is the one that creates tension throughout the story.

Campiña

Type in any other challenges which other characters in the story need to face.

Mansión Bly Manor

descripción

Una gran fachada clara, con las ventanas abiertas, las cortinas de colores fuertes

Ciudad

In most stories, there are 3 challenges. The number 3 is a mystical number symbolizing completeness. Try to come up with interesting challenges with which your character needs to struggle.
See a few examples below:

• turns into a werewolf at night
• is sent back in time
