Yes writing a short story needs planning, going into character profiling, climax visualisation. Bigger stories need it at a larger scale.

I usually write a short story. It is 500 words or 1,000 words in every story. That is the usual number of words I maintain in writing a short story. I could even write more than that. It depends on me on how I develop the plot. Actually, in writing a short story, I observe the following parts: the setting, the characters, the plot, and the…[Read more]

@Shavkat, Try to put your assessment for her in writing and tell her to reply your message ,  so you will know if she really cannot write and speak English well. There is no reason why cannot hear if others can hear and the gadget you used is the same. In case she is really poor in English, give her some reading materials and questions to follow…[Read more]

well, that is unfair for the student to blame on you.

She should go for a tuition for english since she has lack of vocabs

Fortunately, you found the reason behind her deafness

She is just trying to find trouble just because she paid for the course

Yes @superd for fictional stories we need to plan a lot.

I write whatever comes into my mind. There’s a lot of document files in my laptop; most of them are stories that I have thought of.

We have no choice because we need to write long because its a 300 hundred words. I write it but with good mood and environment. Of course you cannot just sit and let the fingers do the writing. You need to have a good topic so that you can make that long story.

@lovern after WIkinut went non-paying, even I wrote 2 or 3 articles but those were just to continue my viewership there, and I also used to share those on Tsu.
Now I use my Wikinut articles, and I have refurbished and Re-written some of those here on LiteracyBase.

@peachpurple I feel its upto everyone what their choice is. Even when I have less time to spare, I prefer shorter stories and sometimes articles as compared to stories.

I have posted here short stories, I think 2 posts. I submitted 4 only 2 were approved.I really love to write short stories. When I was writing at wikinut, all my short stories were approved, but sad it shut down.Well anyway, I am glad it shut down for that is a very poor site. It seems all writers there did not last for months.The only reason is…[Read more]

i prefer to read short stories compare to long stories.

I get a bad headache reading long stories.

Short stories help to take brief break, continue to read again, eager to know the next chapter

I had never wrote short stories since I am not a creative person.

Cely you are surely doing a great work and  are a great inspiration to us.
