Short Story Ideas And Writing Tips That One Can Use

By Kathleen Stine


Now there are a lot of people who would want to write some short stories but do not exactly know where they should start. Now writing stories is not a one time thing wherein one would just think up of something to write but it is actually a process that one would have to follow before creating a masterpiece. Now for those who do not know where to start, here are some short story ideas and writing tips that would be able to help.

Now probably the most difficult part of the entire process would be to actually come up with the plot of the entire tale. Now coming up with a plot will actually take quite a long process before the actual tale will actually be told. Now in order to complete this, one just has to make sure that he follows the process in order to make the tale.

Now the first step in this entire process is actually the conceptualization which would actually take a lot more time and effort that most people would think. Now in order to start, one has to first get notebook and start writing down some random notes that might help in the story. It can actually be about anything that he would want to include.

Now when one has already collected all the ideas that he would need, then the next thing to do would be to start connecting the pieces together. Now do take note that the ideas may be based on true stories that happened firsthand, true stories that happened to another person, or just other stories that were written before. Upon the collection of thoughts, one should now start filtering them and sorting them out.

Now upon collecting some of the thoughts in one place, one would most likely already have an idea of the flow of the tale. Now once he already knows it, then he may now create a short outline sequencing the events. Now as for the format, one can just find a format on the internet and just fill in the blanks.

Now just like other stories, it would be composed of an introduction, a body, a climax or twist, and the conclusion. Of course the climax would be the main twist in the story but there may be other twists as well. Once all of those parts have been identified, then one may complete the tale.

Now the next thing to do would be to then to write everything and then complete the short tale. From there, just fill up the entire outline and put it down in a file document. Now once that has already been done, then the next thing to do would be to edit the file and add a little bit of writing style and writing skills to it.

One word of advice to would be writers would be to never stop editing until it is perfect. One technique for this is to make the first edit then make the second edit after a day or half a day. When the personal editing is done, then one should get a third party person to make a final edit on the draft.
