The most creative short story ideas will always come from you. Those are the ideas you'll be most passionate about and able to realise the most easily.
Characters in short stories are the real game-changers or spoilers. Strengthen your main characters as much as possible, as they often drive the plot.
The first few minutes decide the fate of your entire short story. Your first scene or the first few lines must grab your reader's attention.
Don't wait to write the perfect short story. Start drafting your story as soon as you are sure of all your important requirements. Editing comes later.
The elements of a great story structure are consistent content, correct punctuation, tenses, spelling and grammar.
A great title is the key element to grab your reader's attention to your short story. Don't ever neglect it.
No matter how interesting your entire story is, you will turn your audience down forever if your ending or conclusion is not great. A satisfying ending is more important than one with all answers.
Feedback from the right people will help you make your short story better. Don't hesitate to get one, no matter how strong as a writer you are.
Don't deviate from your story's central message or plot ever. This outlines the strength of your story.
Great short stories didn't come up at once. You have to keep writing and practising to know what went right and wrong. One is never enough.
