OK,but guide me how can i improve my narrative??
make sure you have an awesome starting to gather the interest of the reader ( i like to start by some action) ...... don't add too much dialogues ....... stick to the point ..... do not drag on the story too much so the reader doesn't get bored ........always end the story positively.... like u can look into the future saying there is hope and stuff...... if u are good at writing then you can also make use of flashbacks ..... i don't like to use cliffhangers because it seems as if you didn't have time to complete the story or were out of ideas....( but u can use em) ......

Cliffhangers are really effective especially soon after the climax and it doesn't seem as if you didn't have time or anything especially if u keep the reader in suspense. I use cliffhangers in most of my essays and they seem to be a good way to end an essay. If you know exactly how to use it, its really effective and can be a great boost......
