Answer 1

To be a good SHORT story, you shouldn't have many characters and you should focus on a relatively short instance in the characters' lives, not a long, drawn-out period of time. Write it "in scene," showing instead of telling. As far as plot elements--the standard would be for something to happen, then something worse happens, then something even worse happens, then it is resolved (hopefully by the protagonist). But some "slice of life" stories don't need that much organization.

Answer 2

I just write form my heart on a daily basis it depends on what kind of story you have to write, I can help if I knew, you know like tell you hints, not write it for you, I dont cheat!!!!!!

Answer 3
