    How to write a fictional story?
    Hwo to write a fictional story that is draw from ones own life? But it should be fictionalized. It must include complex character motivation on the part of the main character or protagonist. I want to use it in first person so that it reveals much of the motivation. It needs to be 5 paragraphs long.

    NOTE: No NEED TO DO THE ASSIGNMENT FOR ME but please do tell how to get started. If you can't help then Don't POST ANYTHING. I am sick of idiots who can't HELP!! OK thanks

    Well as NONE of us know anything about YOUR life we really can't help much other than pointers.
    Think what has happened in your life, maybe your first days at school and what happened, or a family holiday.
    Simply use these experiences to write a story based on the instructions you have been given.

    Please don't presume to dictate who can or cannot respond to your posts. And do you think insulting people is going to inspire anyone to help you?

    How you get started is by outlining the story you want to tell. Then flesh out the characters and the plot.

    If one of my students spoke to me like that, they would receive detention. You need to be nice to people who are giving you free help.
