In this workbook, we concentrate on the Short Story because it uses all the Basic Components of Writing in a unique way. In a Short Story you use only the most important parts. You will learn to be very selective in the words you choose, but those words and concepts can always be expanded if you want to write a longer, more detailed piece.We will concentrate on the Five Basic Elements in any story: Plot, Character, Dialogue, Setting, and the Meaning behind your story. In the Short Story you can see those parts quickly and up close and personal. Grab your scalpel and let’s cut into this marvelous entity. Check out the companion book, So You Want to be a Writer, for an in-depth look at this madness we call writing. It will give you even more tips on how to get those words on paper.
