Different Ideas in Narrative Writing

Narrative writing is one form of writing which tells a story. It is broadly categorized into fiction and nonfiction.  Fictional narrative refers to imaginative events and stories that are not real and did not happen in reality. On the other hand, non-fictional narrative writing tells the real story. The stories are based on the real facts.

Storytelling is an old-age tradition and people still like to hear different stories from their near and dear once. In order to capture the attention of the readers, the writer uses narrative techniques in their writing. They not only entertain the readers through interesting stories, but also teach a moral or lesson to them.

In narrative writing, an author usually shares personal experiences. The writer also adds sensory details so as to create a realistic effect and to involve the readers in the story. Generally, a story consists of a plot, characters, setting, climax and ending part. The writer embellishes the story by using vivid verbs and modifiers.
