I write YA short stories and have had some published in Cricket Magazine, most recently the July 2016 issue. The Chekov’s gun scenario is the best advice an author can receive. I've shared this post online and will connect with you, Annalisa. Thanks so much, Christine, for hosting this post and sharing this with your followers. All the best, ladies!Victoria Marie Leeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05294868315757138169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7568117157220074400.post-78560883940834640312016-07-01T14:14:30.867-04:002016-07-01T14:14:30.867-04:00Great advice.

I think one of my pet peeves is when I read a short story collection, and every single short story has to end with that snappy zinger of a twist, like some kind of punchline. One after another after another. That kind of ending is nice in a short story, sure, but at a certain point turning it into this kind of repetitive formula just seems lazy.A Beer for the Showerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029139745335325356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7568117157220074400.post-54280608663846307642016-07-01T12:12:08.616-04:002016-07-01T12:12:08.616-04:00I haven't tried the short story form yet.

I know in flash fiction story there is no room for any real development so the focus is what the characters wants most/goal, maybe 1 to 2 conflicts-it gets bad and then worse and that ends in a twist or ironic way. It is a complete story with begin, middle, end that equals a small scene. It can be fun to try to accomplish that and make it interesting too. <br /><a href="http://www.junetakey.com/posts/category/blog-life-happens/" rel="nofollow"> Juneta @ Writer's Gambit </a><br /> Juneta keyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08815758043024184034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7568117157220074400.post-63412320742454584632016-07-01T08:29:06.000-04:002016-07-01T08:29:06.000-04:00Christine - thanks so much for hosting me on my fi...Christine - thanks so much for hosting me on my final day :-)<br /><br />Suzanne - oh yes, trying to figure how too many characters makes my head ache!<br /><br />Alex - I think that's why some writers start writing a story and find it's much longer than they expected.
