5 Elements Of A Good Sci-Fi Protagonist

Has The Traditional Story Formula Changed?
It has been suggested by some writers, publishers, and researchers that a certain formula exists to create the perfect winning storyline. “Winning” typically means salability, of course. On the other hand, there are an abundance of authors who state they use no such formula and yet are equally successful.

5 Elements Of A Good Adventure Novel
Adventure novels are an exciting form of literary entertainment. This type of fiction often takes readers to faraway and unusual locations (real or imagined) while providing a strong sense of yearning to find out what happens next.
Stories of adventure can range from bank robberies to government conspiracies to mystery detectives and exotic treasure hunts to heroic rescues. Although many people would not actually want to participate or be a by-stander in such situations, experiencing them through the imagination is very alluring.

The Art of Storytelling
When I first started writing I read as much as I could about how to tell a good story. It’s amazing how just very simple changes in the words that are used can change the entire makeup of a phrase even though they say the exact same things. Depending on the situation, sometimes you are forced into using a certain form or style of writing, but when you tell a good story you can let it flow freely.
