Narrative Writing Tip #8:
Be honest.
Readers can tell if you’re omitting important details. The best personal narratives require exposing yourself, good and bad. When you share the dramas in your life, you give your readers the chance to learn from you.

Narrative Writing Tip #7:
Look for angles that get beyond the obvious.
Successful narrative provides perspective and insight. Many people get married, for example, but not everyone does it in a hot-air balloon, beside a volcano or at the age of 80.

Narrative Writing Tip #5:
Tell where it happened.
Was it in Paris or Peru? A city or a village? Place can be a powerful character and context for your narrative.

Narrative Writing Tip #3:
Be specific and share compelling details.
This requires strong observation and memory. Don't just say you were at the museum and saw a beautiful painting. Describe the painting's content and colors and how it made you feel.

Narrative Writing Tip #2:
Tell What Happened.
Don't just summarize a series of events or quickly say what it means. Try to depict your experience so readers can experience an event themselves.

Narrative Writing Tip #1:
Make a list of stories you have to tell.
Do they connect to choices you've made professionally or personally and significant changes in your life? The more important it is for you...the more likely it will resonate with readers.
