    Question what will make my story good?

    I'm trying to write a story, but need to know what people think about what makes a good story. What should i avoid in my writing and what should i add? I don't think alot of the stories in our fiction section delve enough into these peoples thoughts and feelings about how living in this new world makes them feel. I want to do this and at the same time make it intense and action packed! Do any authors out there know what I'm talking about? Does anybody have any thoughts to contribute?

    1) No life
    2) No girlfriend
    3) No job
    4) Just a loser
    5) Glutton for punishment


    One of the above maybe.

    I think your story would benefit greatly if you chopped off your own hands and put them in a blender.

    I think DD's suggestion is best. Also you could possibly write a story about a 15 year old moody kid who saves the head cheerleader and gets in her pants while watching the jock quarterback ex-boyfriend getting eaten alive by zombies; can't forget the witty comments by the hero and the katana-swinging. Of course the kid must have an arsenal of big guns under his bed (think .50 anti-material rifles and GAU chainguns).

    That'll make your story really good.
