Scene It, Heard It

There is a countless number of ways that a story can be written and for each the scenes are the pieces of the literary puzzle. Every scenes comprises the characters, events, plot, setting and action that drives the story to the next scene and so on. It's in this chain of events that every scenes gives the story purpose and a destination toward the final goal in the story. I think that every story written has some basis in actual life, even if it's in one scene or a combination of several elements that are added throughout the story. Everyday there are happenings and circumstances that we encounter that can always be found in a book.

The best and most creative stories can be inspired by the most mundane of events and situations, but the key factor in creating intriguing and exciting prose is in the content and craft of the scenes. Whether it's based on something that's viewed or heard during day to day events, these encounters can be a springboard for imaginative writing. Of course not just any everyday event is going to be right for a scene or that it should be included in a story, but can be considered if there's any glint of a interesting idea that can be used.

Sometimes what is heard and seen in an everyday circumstance can be salvaged for future writings if the current story won't allow for such an event. In writing it's said that less is more and to show and not tell what is happening in a story. In both of these cases, it is better to always try and write only what is neccessary and to let the reader experience what is both seen and heard for themselves, without the author interfering.
