You Need to Know How to Write Short, Long and Longer Stories

In my writing and publishing class, I teach today's readers are smart. You don't have to over explain because they can get your point. A certain number of your stories can be one or two sentences, but if written well imply much more.

Listed here are some shorty short examples:

I walked into the kitchen one day and on top of the frig sat Brent. He said, "The top of the frig is big, but not big enough for both Andrew and me." - C

I was speeding down the Tollway and from the back seat Megan said, "Mommy, did you remember your cell phone on the roof of the car?" - C 

"God has last names," Six year old Billy said, "Jesus Christ, God the Father, and Holy Spirit."  - T"

Stopped by the creek for a moment during our morning run. A glimpse of red!  Oh, a McDonald’s French fry container." - M  

A little voice from the backseat said, "Here Mommy, I have a present for you" as a cold wet half-eaten apple was pressed into my waiting hand, "It's delicious." - K

While waiting onstage with head bowed in dance position, a fellow dancer pressed a candy into my hand and mouthed "mint" with a smile, the extreme sour spread through to my jawbone as the spotlight hit and the show began. - K
