Now there are a lot of people who would want to write some short stories but do not exactly know where they should start. Now writing stories is not a one time thing wherein one would just think up of something to write but it is actually a process that one would have to follow before creating a masterpiece. Now for those who do not know where to start, here are some short story ideas and writing tips that would be able to help.

Now what most do not know is that coming up with the plot is actually the hardest thing for a writer to do. Now the plot is not just something that will appear in the mind of a writer in just a few seconds. A writer has to look for the plot and try to formulate the synopsis in his head which will actually take a long process to do.

Now for one to be able to come up with a good storyline, one technique that he can use in order to come up with a good story is conceptualizing. Conceptualizing is where would one would write any random thing in a small notebook that would probably be useful for the story. Just try to write anything that would come in handy.

After collecting ideas, one should then look into his notebook and start connecting his thoughts. Now his thoughts can actually come from anywhere whether it would actually be an actual event that happened, a story he already read before, or probably even an event that happened to someone else. So all the thoughts that are in the notebook should now be filtered and combined.

Now upon collecting some of the thoughts in one place, one would most likely already have an idea of the flow of the tale. Now once he already knows it, then he may now create a short outline sequencing the events. Now as for the format, one can just find a format on the internet and just fill in the blanks.

Now the outline would usually be composed of an introduction, the beginning, the climax, and the ending. Now there are also other small twists that may happen in the story aside from the main twist in the climax. Once one has filled this up in the outline, then he may fill the other parts as well.

Now the next thing to do would be to then to write everything and then complete the short tale. From there, just fill up the entire outline and put it down in a file document. Now once that has already been done, then the next thing to do would be to edit the file and add a little bit of writing style and writing skills to it.

Now most writers do not like to edit because they think it is one big hassle. However, one should keep on editing until he feels like there is nothing wrong. Also, get a third party writer to take a look at it and give some feedback as well.
