Short Story Ideas And Writing Tips For Creating A Masterpiece

By Kathleen Stine


Writing short stories does not just take a lot of superb writing skills but it also takes a lot of discipline to follow a writing process wherein one can come up with a plot and the entire story body. Now before one would actually come up with a masterpiece, he has to first follow a certain process of conceptualizing and outline before he comes up with the final output. For those who do not know where to start, here are some short story ideas and writing tips that may be useful.

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 he just has to keep on writing his random thoughts during his free time for a time period probably about few days. After doing this, then he can start filtering out his thoughts and combining them. Now these thoughts may be about anything maybe an event that happened, an existing story, or probably the experience of another person.

Once that is done, one should already have some kind of idea of how the story would be going about. Now the next thing that he has to do would be to create an outline on the sequence of events. One can use any format that he would want for the outline that he will be using later on.

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.

The next thing to do would be to then complete the tale by filling up the entire outline. Once one has already done this, he has already created his first draft and is ready for editing. Now after he has edited his first draft, he can then add a little bit more style to the writing to make it more beautiful.

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.
