Writing a Good story
1. Who is your villain? Every story has a villain, though they don't have to be the typical architype. If your story is one about human fighter and he lives in world full of magic, it may be that he has to find and defeat the evil wizard. But if your story is about a girl who has to navigate life as an orphan the villain may be an abusive person in authority, or even a string of people that present obstacles to over come. This may be the most important question to answer sense your protagonists entire reason for their adventure begins with the actions of the villain.

Falling backward against the wall behind her she begins to tumble down the stairs.

Tails From The Void
Desmond sat focusing on the words of the elders as they regaled the children with stories of great and terrible beasts. How they stalked the forests preying on anyone ignorant of the dangers. “Once there was a hero known as Suriku,” Leth said. “He had a wandering spirit unable to remain in one village for too long. He sought only glory through battle. One night while sleeping under the stars he had a vision of all the tribes standing together, which at the time were all separated and fighting amongst themselves.”
