A while a go. May be 3 years ago I was surfing the internet looking for the rules to write a book or something like that…I found a guide of how to write a bestseller…I got the first instructions for free and followed them. I had to use one of this following words and start writing using one of them. “Fire. Certainty or Clock” and then I had to used the other two words in that same paragraph.
I had only five minutes to write what I could and then stop and send it to the tutor. Here’s what I thought
Fire was burning when suddenly the clock rang, telling the person that lived in that house that it was time to do it. He had the certainty that it was time to do it. There was no turning back, the time had arrived. He took the gun, and put the letter he had been writing in an envelope and sealed the envelope with a wax seal. He went out of the house and put the letter in the mail, he returned home and with the gun still in his hand, he pointed it right into his head, he was ready to shoot when the bell rang…there was someone at the door.
“are you there? The voice of a girl asked. He was sweating and hesitating whether to commit suicide or not. The bell rang again, he put the gun in his pocket and walked toward the door.
He opened the door and the beautiful brunet girl asked: “Are you ok?”- She entered the house even when he didn’t ask her to come in.
“i had a terrible feeling about you…What happened in here? Why is everything so messy?
Here what the online teacher said:
Jose, Outstanding!
Now that’s the kind of writing that can easily be turned into a book! It grabs your interest right at the beginning and keeps going. The reader just has to ask, “What happens next to him?”
But don’t take my word for it. Take this bit of writing and show it to your friends. I have a feeling they’ll frankly tell you the same thing. Tell me, what did you think after you had written the piece? Did you think it would be that good, or that straightforward?
And Yes…I have in mind what is next after that and someday It’ll become a completed novel.
