Turn Real Life Into Fiction: Change One Thing #Shorts

If you want to turn real life into fiction, change one thing and then build on it. In this video, I share a quick writing tip for taking a real scene or a nonfiction story and shifting it into the fiction realm: pick a single detail, swap it, and keep incorporating that change until you have something completely new. I use the park I’m standing in as an example. Change that walk into a stroll through a mining colony on Mars, and a regular real-life setting becomes a fictional world without needing to invent everything at once. The change doesn’t have to be big. The point is to choose one shift and keep building from there. For more on starting from the real world, read world build based on reality or completely fantasy.
