Having trouble creating your story? Consider the following…

Character A character is a person, or sometimes even an animal, who takes part in the action of a short story or other literary work.

Setting The setting of a short story is the time and place in which it happens. Authors often use descriptions of landscape, scenery, buildings, seasons or weather to provide a strong sense of setting.

Plot A plot is a series of events and character actions that relate to the central conflict.

Conflict The conflict is a struggle between two people or things in a short story. The main character is usually on one side of the central conflict. On the other side, the main character may struggle against another important character, against the forces of nature, against society, or even against something inside himself or herself (feelings, emotions, illness).

Theme The theme is the central idea or belief in a short story.
