What suggestions can you provide me, concerning writing fiction?

Tweet

I'm looking for ideas, suggestions, examples for writing fiction. Some points to consider when giving your answer are: 1. Some people say that you need to have a resolution to the conflict in every story. Is this true? Give reasons why or why not, and give an example plot that demonstrates each. 2. What should I consider when creating an outline for a fictional story? 3. Give examples of stories/books that have a plot that really interests you. Why does it? 4. What kinds of stories make you want to keep on reading? 5. What kinds of endings do you look for in a good book/story? What disappoints you? What are good types of endings for horror stories? 6. What things make for a good horror story? What do you like/look for in horror stories and why? 7. Anything else you can contribute that would be of help to me. Thank you!
