Preface: I swear, I made this recommendations according to what I observed from the best books I had read, personally as a reader and some tips are collected from the book reviews of certified and expert book reviewers of those best books I had read!
I will enumerate the tip/s then I'm gonna explain it. The explanation part of the tip is marked with ~~
THE TIPS:
1. Keep the emotions, fears, and triumphs of the character/s on a human scale, even while the supernatural is popping out over.
~~This means that even if the story is very fantastical/very unnatural (usually this involves fantasy stories and fiction), keep the story's atmosphere human-based, in a human felt feelings!
2. Fill it with wonderful, sly humor & characters.
~~If you're writing a novel, it's really best to have the characters not very minimal, and not very vast. It's a very good thing to put on some humor so as not to bore the readers. Humor makes the readers have the energy to go on, to read further!
3. Make the characters impressively three-dimensional or sometimes four-dimensional.
~~This means that the portrayal of the character - especially main characters -should be viewed from every angle, from every aspect as a real person.
4. Make it moving.
~~A story that goes round and round is very 0 if rated. Your plot should be developing as the story goes on. Put on some twists that will surely amaze the readers, some mystery that makes the readers wonder.
5. Be the character.
~~There are many point of views. Many today uses the first person - or using the Is, MEs, etc. - but this tip I am saying does not mean just that. Being the character as the author. I mean, it's easier to write a story if you are imagining yourself as the character. It's like writing your dreams, your story, your everything.
6. Soar beyond your modest human surroundings and achieve something quite especial.
~~Open up your mind. Writing needs a very wide mind, open mind that can imagine the unimaginable. A story should be realistic as well as wide imagined!
7. The story should not require anything to be appreciated.
~~The story should be understandable by anyone, everyone, even those who did not learn anything so high. Your story should be appreciated by anyone, and by everyone.
8. Something real-world connected.
~~Even if your story is very impossible in the real world, make the readers feel it's like possible by connecting it in the real world. Say for example, the characters are from the world of humans or they live there and yet they can enter their magical world by entering a place that can be seen in the real, modern world. This will make the readers have excitement, like they want it to be true, that they will even go to that real place imagining they can enter your world.
9. Deliver plenty of ghoulish giggles.
~~The story should make the readers feel the excitement felt by the character in your story. The readers should feel like they are the character in your story. They should feel like they are in your world!
10. Create a hero so resourceful, brave, loyal, and unique.
~~Important of all is the uniqueness of everything in your story, from the plot, to the setting, to your character and everything. Your characters should be different from what is popular today.TIP: Make your character the very opposite of what is popular today!
