So....my teacher told us to write a short story......I'm halfway done with mine and it's already 5 pages long..........when she gave us an example of what HER short story length is......hers is a little more than a page, literally 5 paragraphs long. HOW DO I WRITE A GOOD, DETAILED SHORT STORY AS SMALL IN LENGTH AS THAT?!?!?!
Writing a good, detailed short story in a small length can be a challenge, but it is possible. The key is to focus on the essentials of the story and to use concise language.
Start by outlining the main points of the story. What is the main conflict? What is the protagonist's goal? What obstacles must they overcome? Once you have the main points of the story, you can begin to flesh out the details.
When writing the story, focus on the most important details. Don't get bogged down in unnecessary details that don't move the story forward. Use vivid language to create a vivid image in the reader's mind.
Finally, use short sentences and paragraphs. This will help keep the story concise and focused.
By following these tips, you can write a good, detailed short story in a small length. Good luck!
