Start A Short Story

Writing a short adventure is supposed to be easier than writing a anecdote further as preparation for doing so. For how cinch it is, the hardest stuff can be condign putting pen to paper and getting started. There are as many methods to writing as there are writers, and this Testament lift you to deduce one such forcible form with which you can mellow your own.


Do not worry that you don't know where your story is going or what your characters will do next. What are they doing now? What is happening now in the world beyond them?4. Once you have characters and a situation ask yourself a little more about both. What is the situation and how do the characters fit in to it? Don't get too complex yet. What will happen will change as the story is written. What are your characters interests and motivations? Everyone wants something, even the Buddhist monk wants to want nothing.



2. Immediately that you accept a concept, focus on it loosely to develop it. Do not be rigid with your idea. A great author once wrote, "You must kill your little darlings," meaning do not get attached to your drafts. If your concept is a character, ask yourself some questions about that person. What does he do for a living? What would he rather be doing for a living? Where would he rather be right now? Does he pick his nose? Does she have a hobby, a secret, a keepsake from her father?

The more you babble now the more you'll have to work with later.
