What Do You Think Makes Reading Short Stories The Most Enjoyable?

When I think about expressing myself through writing, there usually
are so many ideas that come up and fly through my mind
that I don't find it easy to actually do any writing.


What to Focus On?

Also I don't find it easy to Focus on any specific type of writing
to express myself. I even tried my hands on Song Writing
actually writing Lyrics to Music,
and a lot of other types of writing.

Since I also enjoy Photograpy
as you can see on DigitalCamera-Ideas
and since as far as I understand Short Stories usually are more
like a 'Snapshot' of only one specific event or moment,
I was wondering about how I might be able to make use of my power
of observation to possibly focus on writing Compelling Short Stories.

A Tiny Step Towards a Short Story

Or maybe more of a 'Footstep' of a Story...,

Anyway,

I have written some other things that probably look more
as actual Short Stories than this, only currently
I write at my 'Rooftop Office'
and I currently don't have it on this computer I am working on
right now.

So to have atleast something to show, you can find
a tiny little 'Fantasy Story' (or as you can expect
from a writer like me - creating my own Genre - (part fictional,
part reality or reality anticipating) 'Footstep Fantacy' :))
A tiny little Story about a The Writers Lifestyle
and Writers Workspaces that Inspire

You can also have a look at a
Making Off... of
a Short Story.

And you can find some
other ones on the

Short Story Page

(That you can find near
the top of this blog.)


What is Your Experience
with Reading Short Stories?

What do you think makes Short Stories
the most enjoyable to read?

One of my Short Stories and It's 'Making Off'.

As you might have read in the post
Now You Can Easily find My Short Stories
Recently I created a special Page for Short Stories and did
already place a few Short Stories up there....,

I am going to use a technique that I use for writing.
It’s simply about starting to write about what you want
to write, I want to write something that will create
a certain readers experience. In this Short Story I want
to give the reader the experience of a writer,
a little view into the ‘Writing Factory’ where
you can see how the Short Story is being made. (at least,
how I made this (714 words) one)





The Short Story Factory

That night in the bedroom a little lamp on the night stand
was throwing a little light in the room, while at
the same time, also a small sized television and the
writers Laptop computer helped to shed a little extra
light into the room. Several objects in the room created
faint mysterious shadows on the walls, a sight that alone
was enough to suspect that .....,

You can find the rest of this Short Story
near the top of this blog on the special
Short Stories page.

Rinse & Repeat)

A New Short Story: 'Rinse & Repeat'

As a real Laptop Fan I have a new Short Story
(it actually had a spellcheck 'rinse')
O.K. here it goes....,



Rinse and Repeat.

It was late at night, as usual the writer was laying in bed while typing on his laptop.
Except for the wind blowing outside it was silent enough to be able to almost fully
concentrate on writing without to many of the distractions of the day time. On his
bed beside the laptop where laying around several books one of the books was
a book with Short Stories titled: To Cut a Long Story Short. Jeffrey Archer
The writer had read the paperback
book a long time ago during a vacation, you could see
that several pages in the book  had been in contact with
sea water and you could even discover some actual beach sand between
some of the pages. He just flipped through the book just looking
at some of the stories titles trying to remember them. Hoping
that looking at them would trigger some kind of instant inspiration
for writing a Short Story himself.
Unfortunately the stories didn’t seem to instantly help him
with any inspiration at all.
The memory of the beach however did help.

 

Beach Towels Collection
by EdelhertDesignTravel

Memories of Beach Life

In his minds eye he got back to the beach, feeling the warmth of the Sun on his face.
Every time when the Sun appeared to become a little to hot, a cool breeze helped to cool down.
Especially after the occasional swim in the ocean when still wet, it was an excellent combination
of Sun and cool breeze. Also the ‘sand’ was made from‘seashell dust’ making it nice and cool
on his feet. So what happened at the beach you might ask? Well during one of the swims to extra
cool down, he swam near a nice yacht, wondering what it would be like when he had bought
such a yacht. Imagined about having a special office for writing onboard on such a yacht. Just
an other nice idea for a great Writers’ Workspace that could Inspire. Like a Captain on a ship steering his words into the right direction. Just imagine writing a little while looking over the horizon to get a little inspiration and feeling the wind in his face, than after a while just jumping into the water to cool down and relax. Than jump onboard again continue writing again and after a while taking such a short break again, and than ‘Rinse and Repeat’ for real! This boat was very close to the beach and he could easily swim back to the shore to lay down and dry in the Sun again until it was time to cool down again. (428 words)

Air Traffic Control, What's Out There?

O.K. here is an experiment of a Short Story in the making.

(below the story you can find 'The Making Off'.)

Actually it might still be a little to Short
for a Short Story it's just the 'Raw Diamond'
or piece of Coal or whatever you want to call it....,

Anyway, here it is, it's titled:



Air Traffic Control,
What's Out There?


The Red sports car came around the corner with great speed,
people walking on the side walk - blinded by the sun reflecting
in the windshield - nearly had time enough to jump away to escape.
Than with the tires making a high pitched sound the car came
to a sudden stop while making a terrible screeching noise
crashing against the ladder I was standing on.

Than in a flash I looked at the ladder under me that was
launching me through the air like a rocket in a direction
that I didn't yet know. I was flying in the air and like
a cat that can turn himself around in the air when falling
to be able to make a perfect landing, I was trying to do
something similar. The speed that I was falling with was
making me notice how the wind was blowing against my skin,
making me feel like a fighter plane pilot that just
ejected from his plane. I was wondering about what advice
birds could give me in this situation, 'flapping my wings?'
that didn't seem to be working for me that well. Lets think,
lets think real quick! Oh.., aaaaah..., Yes! I need
to 'Glide' towards that tree!

'O.K. lets - hug - the tree now', 'Ready for impact...!'

How do you ever prepare for something like this, I do
think that I need to rely on my instincts

'YES' 'The Eagle has Landed!'

'NO' 'The Eagle Slides!!!'

'YES!' 'I am hanging in the branches of the tree!'

'Naaaaa' I am falling to the ground with my hands pointing down!
'Huh....?' my hands touch something in mid air! What on earth
is happening? Now with my hands I am leaning on something in
the air, with my feet still hanging in the tree! What just
happened? What am I leaning on? It looks like a UFO, Yes it
must be a UFO, without a shadow of a doubt it really looks
like an UFO! Sure I have been rescued by tiny aliens! no it's
much to small for a UFO, You see it's just a street lantern.
O.K. so far so good, I am standing on my hands with
my feet in the tree, now 'hug' the street lantern,
While grasping for air I just make a swing and Yes,
hanging on the lantern now.

Pffff..., I do think that it's time for just a little rest,
relaxing a little hanging on a street lantern. What shall I
do now, read a newspaper?, already read it this morning,
Stock Markets Dropping, Mmm, don't like the word dropping!
Shall I reach for my cell phone and call somebody? Now some
of the people that where walking on the side walk that where
barely recovered from their own jumping away adventure came
to help. Hanging there with my feet hanging down, my feet felt
something, near the top somewhat halfway the lantern was
a sign that indicated that there was a side walk. When I put
my feet on it, I noticed that I could slide down, now only
hanging halfway the lantern only making it a small jump. At
the same time the people from the 'side walk incident'
came to help me to make a soft landing.



'The Making Off'

To come up with ideas for Short Stories, for finding possible
'writing Prompt' I came up with the idea to read
a Newspaper to look for titles and articles to get a little
inspiration, I read something about the Stock Market falling
down..., and

I just started with writing about what
I wanted to write like this:

I just want to write a compelling Short Story
that people can enjoy reading.

So to be able to do that I think that I need
at least some basic things to aim for to be able to establish
something like that:


So I have thought about some random boundaries:


1) first of all I want to make it somewhat spectacular just
as with James Bond movies, so I will begin with a spectacular
action opening making people wonder 'What is Happening'
and what will come next
Just as I wrote about in
The Secret To Writing Success.

2) than there has to be some sort of time pressure
somebody falling down from a cliff or something like that,
in his way down, (read in the Newspaper about
the Stock Markets dropping.)

3) than I want it to have a surprising ending.

Today I discovered an interesting Writing Tip about using the Weather in Stories. An Example where the Weather Plays an actual Main Part in The Story is for example a MOVIE like Twisters, obviously you can also use the weather much more subtile in a story. We at EDS also Tell Stories with Photography As you can Discover on our 📸PHOTO-Blog Like for example Showing you the Weather in a Photo (Tweet), a Photo with Indirect light from the Sun on the Fence and a little direct light on the leaves
