You can show off your writing talent or just pursue your favorite hobby by creating a short story for a close friend. This can be a test of the pen and at the same time a great gift for her.
A story for a friend must meet two requirements: it must describe what is close to you in order for the work to turn out well, and also be interesting to her. First, decide what you are best at writing about, what you like to describe, what stories to create. Whether it will be a fantastic story or, on the contrary, a rather realistic narration, you will write it with humor or in a serious manner.
Make up a story
Think about which story will resonate with your friend most warmly. Most likely, she will be very pleased to read about herself, since this is a natural human desire - to find out how other people see them, and also to feel like a little star, being in the work. To do this, remember all the memorable experiences that you have experienced with your girlfriend, choose the most successful one, and on its basis you can already create a memory story. It will be a great gift for any occasion, and well-designed, this story will give a huge amount of emotions and memories for a long time to come.
However, it’s a good idea to just come up with a story that describes your friend’s adventures with her friends. Perhaps she loves secrets and riddles, detective stories, pursuits and treasure hunts. Study the interests of a friend; before creating a story, you can casually ask what exactly she loves in literature most of all. This will help give you the idea of creating the perfect piece for her.
Make the perfect gift
If you want to write a story about some abstract things, and the story is written for a friend's gift, and not just for her assessment of your work, then you need to pay special attention to the interests of your friend. After all, then all her attention will be focused only on history. In such a story, you will have to place emphasis not on the image of the girl or on your shared memories, but on the exciting plot, the adventures of the main characters and an unexpected denouement. You should not drag out the work, because the story should tell the story briefly. Let your friend read it in one breath, so that she wants to see the continuation of your work.
If your small piece is being prepared as a gift, it would be nice to pick up illustrations for the story and make some beautiful cover for it. Pictures can be selected both on the Internet, and made on your own, or you can ask friends who can draw to make them. Print your artwork and bind it, or at least just stitch it by hand. Such a gift will be remembered for its originality for a long time and will be appreciated higher than many purchased ones.
