 title: What are good stories according to Kurt Vonnegut
 tags: writing
 ---

 1. “Use the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted.”

 让读者始终对你的故事感兴趣。[How to structure your plot](https://www.standoutbooks.com/key-event-first-plot-point/?utm_source=ProWritingAid&utm_campaign=Guest%20Post)

 2. “Give the reader at least one character he or she can root for.”

 写好人物。

 3. “Every character should want something, even if it is only a glass of water.”

 给每个人物一定的动机和欲望。

 4. “Every sentence must do one of two things: reveal character or advance the action.”

 句子为人物或剧情服务。

 5. “Start as close to the end as possible.”

 让剧情集中再集中，不要安排比故事需要更大的舞台。

 6. “Be a sadist. No matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them in order that the reader may see what they are made of.”

 用困境让角色的特质得以显现。[Every story needs an “all is lost” moment](https://www.standoutbooks.com/why-your-novel-needs-an-all-is-lost-moment-and-how-to-create-one/?utm_source=ProWritingAid&utm_campaign=Guest%20Post)

 7. “Write to please just one person. If you open a window and make love to the world, so to speak, your story will get pneumonia.”

 不要盲从于潮流，为*一个*特定的人写故事，这个人可以是自己，或者是一个具体的读者。

 8. “Give your readers as much information as possible as soon as possible. To heck with suspense. Readers should have such complete understanding of what is going on, where and why, that they could finish the story themselves, should cockroaches eat the last few pages.”

 让读者了解主人公能了解的一切，他们仍然会被剧情所吸引。
