All my ideas are for long book length stories, but I really want to write a short story. Mainly just so people can see my style of writing without reading forever and ever. But I can't think of anything to write about that wouldn't go beyond ten pages.
How do people write stories that are interesting, gets the story told with the start, middle and end all worth reading, and it has a point to it all.
The only short written work I have done is essays. Any tips if I were to get an idea? How do I keep it short but good?
