Short Stories

Read Matthew 22-24

Matthew 22:2 "The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,"

Short stories can be anything from six words to thousands of words. Different markets call for different lengths.

When we plan our short story, it may be tempting to write to the market, but that can be confining. It may be less stifling to write the story first and then market it.

Chances are we will have ideas for the types of short stories we like to read, but if we are having a hard time coming up with ideas, we might want to let our imaginations drift elsewhere. We might want to adapt a family story, a dream, or even a nightmare.
