Elements to Writing a good story
STEP 1. CHARACTERS Let's get started! First, your story needs a character. Who is this story about? Here are some things to think about when creating your main character:
CHARACTERS Your character doesn't have to be human. It can be an animal or a fantastic spirit. It could also be a rock, a computer circuit board etc. Use your imagination - sometimes the simplest objects in our everyday lives have stories to tell. Like that pencil eraser over there... Did you see how it was looking at the sharpener? Once you've created one character, you probably want to create more characters -- friends, enemies, heroes, villains, and so on.
CHARACTERS Perfect characters are boring. To create tension in the story, give your characters weaknesses and flaws. If you use the character's weaknesses to get the character into even more trouble, the tension will build, and you'll have a better story.
STEP 2:CHALLENGES TO BE SOLVED Every great story involves a problem or challenge to be solved by the characters. An interesting challenge is what turns a boring list of everyday events into an interesting and exciting story for your readers.
STEP 3. MOTIVATION Your character needs motivation to solve the problem. What is the outcome your character hopes for? STEP 4. SETTING Your story needs a setting. Where and when does this story take place?
STEP 5. OBSTACLES So now you have your character, the setting, and the problem, and the motivation to solve that problem. These parts are usually told in the first section of your story. Many plot events in our story act as obstacles for our characters to overcome. The obstacles might be big or small.
OBSTACLES Imagine the following: Character: Mouse Setting: House Problem: Find Cheese Motivation: Hungry It's simple and boring. But what happens when you add obstacles? Obstacles: Giant Mouse Trap, Three-legged Cat, Turbo Vacuum Now it's getting interesting! Obstacles create tension and make the story fun for your reader.
STEP 6. CLIMAX After getting past the last obstacle, your character finally reaches the climax of the story. The tension you have been building in your story is released. The climax is also a great time to reveal an unexpected twist in your story. The best endings often have predictable results, but are achieved in an unpredictable way.
CLIMAX The climax generally follows one of these patterns: Realization Resolution Choice
STEP 7. CLOSING You're almost there! Finally, your story needs an ending. After the climax, there are usually some loose ends to tie up. Always end the story in an interesting manner.

A Sample of Story writing..
There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence. The first day, the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Bad Temper
The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry. The wound is still there." A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one. Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.
