Tips:

If you are writing in 1st person, try to put yourself in the character's shoesTry to describe what you would see, smell, taste, feel, and hear if you were in the storyUse figurative language: "As white as snow" (simile) or "Taller than 100 giraffes stacked on top of each other (hyperbole)Really dive deep into the writing + make sure it tells a storyYou could end on a cliffhanger and let the readers imagine what happens next (just make sure the main conflict is solved or else your story is incomplete)

For example:

Here is a little summary of a story that I thought of. I tried to make it as vague as possible so that you can use the advice I gave you above to make it your own. I hope this can inspire you to write a great story :)

Weird things have been happening in a neighborhood. A group of kids investigate to find out who is causing all of these strange things to happen. They go to a park to write down all their findings. While at the park, the see something in the sky, but realize it was just a kite. They finally figure out that an old lady at the end of the street is really a witch and has been making odd things happen. The kids confront her, but nothing changes. The story seems to repeat itself, word for word. Then, the kids go to the park again. They all look up into the sky, but instead of seeing a kite, they see a broom flying off into the distance. The unmistakable cackle of a witch can be heard.

THE END.

Which sentence from this passage explains what the main characters do in rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead? "tom stoppard's play, rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead, draws on two previous theatrical works: shakespeare's hamlet and samuel beckett's waiting for godot." "as in beckett's play, rosencrantz and guildenstern pass the time by impersonating other characters, engaging in word play, and remaining silent for long periods of time." "these same two characters were also featured in a parody of hamlet, the short comic play by w. s. gilbert entitled rosencrantz and guildenstern." "gilbert's play makes rosencrantz and guildenstern into central characters and alters the storyline of hamlet."
