When you are working in the creative writing field as a writer, you better learn and understand how to write a narrative. This is a special requirement for those who plan to make a book, especially if you specialize in writing mythology books for teens. In writing a good one, here are some of the basic elements that must be included in a story.

The first in your list is the setting, which is technically the time and place by which the whole event will happen. Creating a setting is essential so that the readers will have an idea on what the place is like for all characters in a myth. To create the setting, just describing the landscapes, buildings, scenery, weather, or season can give a strong sense of setting.

Character. There are people who will make the story progress. These are the basic elements in a masterpiece you call as the characters. The characters to include in your story can either be people are animal. They are the ones who are involved with the conflict and they take part in the action.

Conflict. Every story must have a conflict for it to become interesting. Basically, this refers to the struggle between the people involved with this narrative. As its central conflict, it is common for the main character to take one side. Conflicts can be against forces of nature, another important character, against one's self, or against society.

The plot is next. An effective plot will make the narrative more and more interesting. For your plot, it alludes to a series of actions and events characters take advantage of to have a central conflict. With that, the myth will keep going. By taking one action against another, it should be easy to piece the whole tale together.

Action. When it comes to action, characters can take a rising or falling approach. For the action, it is what increases the tension that surrounds your story. If included in the narrative, then the myth will be complete. The readers will come to know of the progress of a tale as well as where this is supposed to go to.

Climax. Having a proper climax in this myth is essential. After all, this is when all actions of the characters involve culminate to its peak. Climax is basically an unsustainable tension which makes the tale pivot. This signals that the narrative is about to reach its end and that a conclusion is about to be uncovered.

Another one is the resolution. It is only natural that a resolution is also added into the myth. After all, this refers to how the conflict is resolved. With proper resolution, an end result will be reached for readers to be satisfied. For the end result, there are two things that can be achieved. It is either to establish a new status quo or restore equilibrium.

Conclusion. Just as the name suggests, conclusion is what concludes the whole tale. It serves to show the completion of the tale. Through the conclusion, readers get to know if the conflict is resolved or not. Some authors end the tale happily or in a tragedy. At times, authors even opt to have a plot twist that can lead to another future journey.
