How to Write a Short Story (Part 3) | Behind the Scenes Writing Vlog #12
Hello Writers and Book Lovers!
After the last video blog, I had finally got around to adding more notes to my fourth draft checklist. I was all prepared and had all my spreadsheets plus scrivener opened. And, that’s when I realised I hadn’t finished writing the first draft of my crime thriller short story, The Lawn.
So, this is officially the third instalment in my how to write a short story series.
- My writing and revision plans for the week.
- Some exciting podcast-related purchases.
- An idea for a tech-related video on podcasting for writers (let me know if you want me to film this).
- Writing the final two scenes of a short story.
- If I stuck to these new writing plans and finished the scenes.
- How I’m choosing to end my crime thriller short story.
- The importance of writing to Genre even in short stories.
- Writing and revising the first draft of a story at the same time.
- A short update on revising my story, the Lawn.
- Mistakes I’ve made as I outlined The Lawn.
- How I write scenes.
- And, how many scenes in a chapter.
