Narrative Writing
Narrative writing tells a story or part of a story.
All good "small moments" or parts of a story include:
- Something that truly happened to you
- 1 location
- small amount of time (3 to 20 minutes in real life)
- 2 to 3 people
- a balance of thinking, action, and dialogue
- a lead and ending with a message or reflection at the end
