try link your story to what you like. It would be highly recommended for the story to have a 'strong' connection towards something, eg the landscape, familial relationship with someone especially. Another idea would also compose a strong imagery or symbolism of something. Eg. In my story I used a damaged pendulum clock to symbolise the distant relationship with a persons father that was recovered after the clock was repaired.
Be aware not make my mistake. That is, having exceptionally descriptive language however a story without a great plot.
