Short Story Ideas That Would Be Useful For Beginner Writers

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 for one to be able to come up with a good storyline, one technique that he can use in order to come up with a good story is conceptualizing. Conceptualizing is where would one would write any random thing in a small notebook that would probably be useful for the story. Just try to write anything that would come in handy.

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.

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 the basic story line would usually have the introduction, the body, the climax, and of course the ending. Now the outline will be composed of these four parts and would sometimes even include twists. Now the subheadings would be under these four parts and the subheadings would then be composed of the events that would be happening.

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.
