When writing a narrative you want to catch the person’s attention right away. Using a catchy title will make people interested in reading the story. When beginning make sure the reader knows right away what you are going to be talking about. Usually in the first paragraph you should have your thesis statement, basically outlining the main point of the story. As you are writing the body of your story you want to make sure everything is in chronological order so the chain of events will be clear to your audience, and go over everything you mentioned in your thesis. When using flash backs it is ok to get out of order as long as you are using past tense words so you are not confusing your reader. At the end of the narrative you want to wrap it up with a summary or conclusion.
Details are so important in stories, with enough detail a short story can go a long way. You want your story to flow smoothly so reader doesn't have to go back and re-read sentences to be able to understand it. Turning a paper into a story will make people want to read it. Using choppy, incomplete sentences will lose the reader’s attention. Writing narratives can be fun for both the author and the audience if done correctly.
