Most writers have the beginning of at
least one novel in their bestseller.
They began to write their own fiction from a small fiction not directly. After they
were success with their small fiction, they tried to continue to write in
larger fiction like a novel. It takes a
great deal of skills to write in large fiction like a novel. It also spent much
time to finish it and sometimes we feel so hard to find inspiration. Short
stories are the best place for new writers to hone their fiction.
A short story is a slice of life. Short stories can be read comfortably
only in one sitting. It does not take much time to read a short story because
it content of few words. Short stories can be anything from 500 to 5000 words.
Anything under 500 words tends to be called micro fiction and anything over 5000
words moves into novel fiction. Short stories have one plot, two or three main
characters, climax, conclusion and have no more than two locations. It also
have an opening that is developed in the middle which reaches climax. It does
not need a great skill to try to make a short stories.
Before we try to make a short story,
we should gather ideas for our story. Inspiration can strike at anytime and anywhere.
We carry notepad wherever we go, so that
we can write down story ideas that came to us. Most of time, we will think of
small information such as plot, character’s name, setting of background, and
etc. Sometimes we will get lucky and a whole story will reveal itself only in a
few minutes. If we have a trouble finding inspiration, or we need to write a
short story in hurry, we have to look at family or friends for inspiration. We
also can find more inspiration from a real people. We can use habitual of
people that we know or even the strangest people that we notice. For example,
we might notice someone who is always
coming late at the class, someone who talk a loud, booming voice and etc. All
of these observations would together make a very interesting characters.
It
can make us despair when we are having trouble in writing. We can get angry at characters, or feel like want to
throw the things around us. Sometimes we can begin to doubt our own writing if
we dislike something that we have written. Our mind can easily tell us that it
is hard to continue and we should give up. When these toughts came we can
easily take over and make us quit to write a short story. One of the hardest
tasks as the writer is to erase those feelings and continue writing. When we
begin to have these doubtful feelings, or get tired or bored, stop writing. We
can take out, take a walk, or do anything relax that can make our mind so fresh
when we return. We may still not want to write, but tell ourselves few good
things about our story from one good passage we have written.
In short, it is possible for us to
to try to write a short story that needs few time and contents few words. We
also can find inspiration anytime and anywhere easily. One important thing
while writing is do not give up and still continue to finish it. Just tell
ourselves that we can write a short story because we want to.
