Make sure to start with a good opening sentence. Because short stories are short, you have to make sure the beginning and end are impactful. (For better insight on that, look it up online/on Pinterest! I’m not very good with starting stories) Also make sure to PLAN (A LOT!!) Because the story is so short, making sure every sentence/paragraph is thought out is important (but don’t stress it too much). If I didn’t answer your question let me know! I would love to help more, I looove writing!
