Which short story elements do you think you do the best? Which do you think you need to work on? Let me know in the comments.
PRACTICE
You guessed it: Today, you’re writing your story. Take fifteen minutes to work on it. Let it flow. Write as much as you can in that time. If you’re on a roll when your time is up, keep going!
When you’re finished, come back here and tell me how much you wrote. How do you feel? Was it a hard writing day, or did your pen fly across the page? (Remember: Don’t post your story in the comments! You can share it in our Pro Practice Workshop instead.)
