My dreams often end up being narratives of fully descriptive, fictional worlds that I create in my sleep. I never even get a role inside my dreams, besides writing it all down when I wake up. These always inspired me to start writing in my spare time, and I genuinely want to know if anyone else has had the same thing happen to them?
My short story is a psychological horror about a youtuber who wants to get views and murders famous youtubers to gain traction off their deaths and eventually gains a cult following and becomes rich and successful off the murders of others and gets away with it.

Storytelling is such a powerful art form! And I love how you brought out the tortoise vs. the hare example -- that the theme/lesson is the most important and memorable thing we get from a short story. Good work!
I honestly am thinking about writing my very own short stories and making it perfect just the way I would love seeing and hearing it as. I also want people to see my story and think that it is AMAZING. It would really inspire me A LOT! 😊❤️😍😃.

I spend lots of my day basically dreaming, when I'm bored I instantly go in to my fantasy world. I have many stories and characters that make sense in my mind... then I tried to write stuff down and suddenly I have nothing, and that's why I'm here, I want those characters to exist out of my head, even if just for me.
How can anybody dislike this video? I mean it's just too good. I was searching for something different and unique like this, and I'm really happy with it
I've been working on a short story for 3 weeks and yes i'm 14 and in highschool... (but i get graded like a college student due to previous stories ive written before) but today i had a brainfart and felt sooo stuck this vid helped alot
Started writing a short story for fun two days ago and it is one of the most fun things I’ve done. Literally sat for 2 hours writing the second chapter today
I've always loved the short stories of Shirley Jackson. She was amazing. Especially The Lottery, and Flower Garden. She had a knack of making social statements, and illiciting a sense of dread by revealing the underlining realities of everyday life in small town suburbia. The hypocrisy and the horror...She knew both. All to well I'd assert.
Very good insight on how a short story is different from a novel. Also, how it can be beneficial for you to write a short story if you are already writing a book, or manuscript and have run into writer's block. I got some inspiration from this for, maybe, writing a book consisting of a collection of short stories.
I'm watching this video because I have for whatever reason, been writing meaningful stories recently about how everyone has a different story to their life. I've recently been thinking about writing longer things like short stories since I usually write a paragraph. Not only do I want to do this for fun, and to enjoy it but to see if I improve in my english class during school, since getting good grades has always been something important to me and even though I already have a A in english I want to get it to A+ and improve. If you find this and read this I would really appreciate it if you could tell me if this is a good idea, Thank you! Sincerely, Cloudz Blizz
I really wanna start writing stories in English because there's always stories in my head and many of them are really interesting stories when I was younger I use to write them down but people use to laugh at my stories so I kinda stop writing but nowadays I wanna start writing again but it's kinda hard writing nicely because I want it to be interesting, grammatically correct and we'll organised. I wanna take some online trusted course in writing that will give me good feedbacks but I can't find the one I can trust.. 🤦🤦🤦
Love the advice to get to know your characters, create an outline, and write the draft without editing it. Just get the story written, then go back and edit.
This actually made me motivated AND inspired. Because that part where start with something odd and unusual or interesting, really, really, helps, and really, really, is just... I don't know how to explain, it just made me smile, and i have no idea why.
Cuz that's always my reaction, like: WHAT!? Just from the beginning or the summary: That's also why I have the urge to read every angst oneshots or fanfics, even if the endings are angst as well because I always WANT to know yet what happens and if it can make me cry or if WHY it's an angst ending. And the beginning makes me cry already, because knowing that I'm gonna cry makes me cry, because of the reason, and illtthink fo a thousand possibilities and that makes me even sadder.
Why what we say is different than they would ever come to achieve and what they already have achieved - To make our target audience understand, Always a great way to illustrate examples or analogies through writing short stories. SUPERB!!!!
I will complete this before hel1 freezes over. This will seem more impossible than the titanic and crew poping out the opens hold that kept it on the bottom. Even though, I wouldn't have just quit trying to live then, I will hope that same determination and fear of not living can keep me hopeful.

I tried mine best. Either Sunshine is bright, Or darkness is in night, I don't know what's going in my life. A life with no choices, A painter with no brushes, A flower with no essence, That's how I feel my existence. Everyday I see there face, They make fun of me like crass, It looks like being morass, And I feel harasss. On being bullied I feel that I 'm in hell, Being locked in a small cell, Just living in that dwell, And my soul is just yell. I felt my heart was gonna blast, Mine problems are gonna Vast, But I still tried to cool, And I feel like a car that ran out of fuel. I 'll never be the best, Wake up to get dressed, And forever to be stressed. Akshit

For nationals in my country we have to make one with the theme of "Starting over." Help i dont know what to write about and really dont wanna fail. This will take place tomorrow We will have 1 hour to write it all
I failed at the first step: Character Development. If I could fill out your worksheet then I would be way head of where I am now. I could make up random stuff in each field but that doesn't help. I could right a program to do that but it wouldn't be a character. What I'd like to see is a few dozen of these character development sheets filled out by some competent authors who write using this method and then read the stories that they wrote using them. By the way, does it matter what kind of story I intend to write before putting together the character outlines? I'm an engineer so maybe my need to know what I'm doing and why gets in the way just doing it. When I read/listen to advice like this I always want to know what assumptions are behind the advice. Do writers really do these things? Do the characters they write actually "look" like what is in these sheets? Do the writers refine these characters as the plot and/or story takes form? I've not seen any actual examples of writers USING the content of the character sheets. By the way, the reason I want to write short stories is because I want to get some practice writing a complete stories to learn what works and what doesn't. I want to be a plotter but my personality seems to be more of a pantser. So far neither has worked for me. So any help is desperately needed.
I'm watching for improve my english 🤣. But, I like your facial expression, eye contact, gesture, posture, and movement. I like it. Thank you so that you are learning how to write story.
I have been forced by my little girl to tell her a story after picking her up from nursery everyday. At first I struggled and now it is soo easy to make up a story. Because of all this, I am getting into writing short stories.
LOVE that inspiration! You think you'd ever write those stories and publish in a collection, or publish them as children's books? I bet they're so fun!

Write on your character " Yin" .
If you want a good plotting structure I’m a fan of Harlan’s story circle. It’s a pretty good template to get you started.
Definitely saving this. A short story is where every early writer starts.
Right
its not like that everytime @Nancy P
No, it isn't.
I started with poems and songs
My dreams often end up being narratives of fully descriptive, fictional worlds that I create in my sleep. I never even get a role inside my dreams, besides writing it all down when I wake up. These always inspired me to start writing in my spare time, and I genuinely want to know if anyone else has had the same thing happen to them?
omg yes this happens to me!
It happens to me all the time
Me too! It's interesting how the stories usually have an ending by the time I wake up and are rarely left hanging
So you have lucid dreams sometimes? Because lucid dreams can somewhat help you with creativity.
Yes happens to me too.

Love the advice to get to know your characters, create an outline, and write the draft without editing it. Just get the story written, then go back and edit.
This actually made me motivated AND inspired. Because that part where start with something odd and unusual or interesting, really, really, helps, and really, really, is just... I don't know how to explain, it just made me smile, and i have no idea why.
Cuz that's always my reaction, like: WHAT!?
Just from the beginning or the summary:
That's also why I have the urge to read every angst oneshots or fanfics, even if the endings are angst as well because I always WANT to know yet what happens and if it can make me cry or if WHY it's an angst ending.
And the beginning makes me cry already, because knowing that I'm gonna cry makes me cry, because of the reason, and illtthink fo a thousand possibilities and that makes me even sadder.
Great tips! Thank you! Cant wait to start!
I have always wanted to write short stories,, ty for this video helped me take the first step.

If you are a struggling writer, this ebook is for you.

I will complete this before hel1 freezes over. This will seem more impossible than the titanic and crew poping out the opens hold that kept it on the bottom.
Even though, I wouldn't have just quit trying to live then, I will hope that same determination and fear of not living can keep me hopeful.

As i died in full red there was black everything i see, It's was never ending like a galaxy but I could'nt talk nor think I'm just there. It felt like weeks in this darkness floating in motion there i was not knowing Death was like this and then for a split second like a intense flash i saw me. I was a baby in my moms, her joyful face and when i was done seeing that memory there was another one i was in, but there was no flash but it was me and my brother playing with our toys. And another with my parents fixing the scratch on my arm. Every moment i pass my conscious was growing, my moments with Papa to singing with my mom, to hugging my sister, to eating with my dad. And to the note that was in my room that i never seen before its from mom she left it for me. It was showed to me in my hands, it-it said...
My shiny little moon
You may not see who you truly are
When your not even a far
You choose to be like everyone else
And you spit on being yourself
I understand your problems
You don't know how to solve them and you decide to give up when you didn't even try
I have a secret to tell you your brightest one of all
You may fall and stubble out of place but you'll always get up and charge
From the moment i saw you i felt embrace in your soul
With the smile you put up
To the words you always told
I love you my sunshine
I love you to little moon
Your the best of us my baby boy i see bright things for you for when i later pass remember
Keeping going foward, your journey is not over
Stand out from everyone else because i'll Always be by your shoulder
Share your joy your so expressful my precious little boy
With our last moments reaching near always dance through your tears
And when your life is meant for two share your found fruit
From every moment we went through i always enjoyed you
From here on to the afterlife
I'll always love you my shiny little moon
Tear felt emotions ran through my face as i saw my mother in front of me with all mother's embrace. And now i wake up in a hospital room, i could see my siblings and my dad but i didn't know where my mom was. It felt cold and my head is throbbing so badly like i was in a......
car accident...
Thank you, your video was very informative
Great video! Thanks for sharing so much wonderful information!💕
Thank you. ✔️
I'm sharing this with my students
Thank you so much, this helped me a lot :D
It was a very interesting video that motivated me to start writing a short story.
Which software or application you are using for making such an effective videos ???
I tried mine best.
Either Sunshine is bright,
Or darkness is in night,
I don't know what's going in my life.
A life with no choices,
A painter with no brushes,
A flower with no essence,
That's how I feel my existence.
Everyday I see there face,
They make fun of me like crass,
It looks like being morass,
And I feel harasss.
On being bullied I feel that I 'm in hell,
Being locked in a small cell,
Just living in that dwell,
And my soul is just yell.
I felt my heart was gonna blast,
Mine problems are gonna Vast,
But I still tried to cool,
And I feel like a car that ran out of fuel.
I 'll never be the best,
Wake up to get dressed,
And forever to be stressed.

A great short video about writing a short story... Thank!
Who’s here and is forced to write a short story but don’t know how to?
I failed at the first step: Character Development. If I could fill out your worksheet then I would be way head of where I am now. I could make up random stuff in each field but that doesn't help. I could right a program to do that but it wouldn't be a character. What I'd like to see is a few dozen of these character development sheets filled out by some competent authors who write using this method and then read the stories that they wrote using them. By the way, does it matter what kind of story I intend to write before putting together the character outlines?
I'm an engineer so maybe my need to know what I'm doing and why gets in the way just doing it. When I read/listen to advice like this I always want to know what assumptions are behind the advice. Do writers really do these things? Do the characters they write actually "look" like what is in these sheets? Do the writers refine these characters as the plot and/or story takes form? I've not seen any actual examples of writers USING the content of the character sheets.
By the way, the reason I want to write short stories is because I want to get some practice writing a complete stories to learn what works and what doesn't. I want to be a plotter but my personality seems to be more of a pantser. So far neither has worked for me. So any help is desperately needed.
anyone else here because wattpad stories are inspiring them to start writing? lmfao
Meeeee
But I am still having a hard time :(
Meee

Are you finished with it?
I have been forced by my little girl to tell her a story after picking her up from nursery everyday. At first I struggled and now it is soo easy to make up a story. Because of all this, I am getting into writing short stories.
LOVE that inspiration! You think you'd ever write those stories and publish in a collection, or publish them as children's books? I bet they're so fun!
@@selfpublishingTVThank you very much, it is indeed really good fun and I am thinking of publishing them as children books. Never thought I had it in me but I was forced to tell her a story everyday for nearly 2 years. 😊😊
@@marly3989 Sounds like you have a bunch of stories to work with then! This blog post might help you at least get started with turning them into children's books: self-publishingschool.com/how-to-write-a-childrens-book/
