What Is A Short Story?

Writers are often told they should start with short stories, but often aren't sure what that is, never mind how to do it! Julie Duffy of StoryADay.org is here with a layered definition of the short story, in under three minutes.

Nice.

There's so much to learn when you get serious about your writing, and sometimes the terminology can be intimidating. This series is all about answering the questions you don't want to ask!
Leave a comment letting me know what writing terms you keep hearing and don't really understand.

That was very good information. I'm off to write a short story. I'm back; that didn't take long. What's next? I'll make a cuppa tea while I wait. Where's the scones with strawberry jam and cream? You what?

[@StoryADay]

Ah, but is it cream first or jam first? (And obviously it's jam first. We're not savages...)

This was great... got some ideas about where to start.
