Sorry I Took A Few Days Off! Horror Story Writing Tips!
Hi guys! Ailuro here! Sorry that I took the weekend off blogging. I've been so busy last week I decided to take a break. I might take this week off of blogging too. I have a lot of school stuff to do and I just can't find time. I am going to do a tips thing right now though. Horror stories can be pretty hard to write sometimes I guess. You have to write the right mood into the story to make your story creepy or have some type of scary feeling.
1. Get in the mood. I find writing horror stories easier when I am scared myself. If you don't like getting scared then its OK to skip this step. I like to watch a creepy TV show before I write a scary story. For those who speak and can listen to Chinese/mandarin I recommend a Taiwanese TV show called Things About Stars(link if you want to watch! http://2015.vslovetv.com/2014/12/things-about-stars-list.html) I watch at least one episode, then start writing.
2. Details!!!!!!!! Include very descriptive details. On scary parts, add details about sounds, mood, environment, and scenery. Kinda like concrete scenery I guess...look it up. If you include this in your story, it will paint a picture in the readers minds(if you are applying this to a rpg game then right scene notes). Scene notes are notes on what tints you are going to use and the music that will be playing in your game.
3. First person view. I recommend writing the story in a first person view. This means the main character is the narrator. This will make it easier to apply step 2 to your writing.
This was a fairly short tips because I am busy. I might do more tips on this subject but you can go ahead and add on. Meow!
