Many people are intimidated by writing short stories. This however can be incredibly fun for those that wish to try. All it takes is for an idea to pop in you head and then the rest is basic writing techniques you learned in high school.
1) The idea
2) Then you use details about the characters and story line
3) Next you build up to the climax of the story
4) Hit the climax with the most amount of detail possible
5) Then the main character's downfall or failing
6) Finally, the ending which can be either happy or sad depending on the story.
Writing has never been a strong suit of mine and this blog is very helpful! I have aways thought about writing short stories and this is a good place to start!

I've been writing for as long as I can remember. This is a great, simple way to explain short stories' format.

I love to read short stories. However, I never tried to write one. I will keep these steps in mind in case I decide to write one.
