2 Most short stories follow a similar format. When planning your short story, using the following model to guide your writing EXPOSITION IIISIN6 ACTION RESOLUTION CLIMAX 1. Create a narrative lead: show the main character in action, dialogue, or reaction. 2. Introduce the main character's character. Who are they? 3. Introduce the setting: the time and place of the main character's life. 4. Introduce and develop the problem the main character is facing. 5. Develop the plot and problem toward a climax, ex. Decision, action, conversation, or confrontation that shows the problem at its height. 6. Develop a change in the main character, ex. An acknowledgement or understanding of something, a decision, a course of action, or a regret. 7. Develop a resolution: how does the main character come to terms - or not - with his or her problem?

Who are the main characters of your story? Do you have a protagonist and an antagonist? Describe your characters using visual aids such as character webs if it makes it easier for you. 2. What is the theme of your story going to be? Explain in detail. 1. What is my topic? (Write down the main idea for your story and explain what the central conflict.) Take your time and think about your ideas and answer the following questions with a high level of thought and detail. overheard saying, "I don't know what to write. I have no good ideas." The brainstorming session is the solution to those writer's block moments. Pre-Writing and Planning: What to do before you start writing.
4 Main Character Questionnaire To begin the planning stage of your short story, start by creating a protagonist. Use the following questionnaire as a way to get to know your character better. 1. What's your name? 2. How old are you? 3. What's the problem you are facing? 4. What is your family's background? 5. Where do you live? 6. What do you like to do? 7. What' s different about you? 8. What do you care about? 9. What do you fear?
5 11. Who are the important people in your life? 14. What will you understand about yourself and your world at the end of the story? 13. How will you change through confronting your problem? 12. What are the important things in your life? 10. What are your dreams?
6 Authors bring their characters to life using many techniques. When drafting your short story select a few methods from the list below to make your characters jump off the page with authenticity. Give your character something to love that reveals his or her private self. Beloved Object or Pet: Create your character's bedroom and fill it with the stuff of his or her life that reveals parts of the past and present. Intimate Setting: Imagine the habits, interests, skills, hobbies, goals, fears, tastes and preferences, daydreams, and nightmares that will flesh out your character. Quirks: Compare and contrast your character's actions, reactions, beliefs, values with those of others. Other Characters: Show how your character responds to actions, words, ideas, of others. Reaction: Recall events from the past that show why your character is behaving as he or she does today. Flashback: Get your character up and moving around, doing things both little and big that show what he or she is like. Actions: Get your character talking as a way to reveal himself or herself. Dialogue: Show what your character is thinking and feeling. Reflection: Ways to Develop a Character
