Subject: Anyone Write Short Stories?

Posted by: Jazmee27
Date: Mar 14 10

I've tried to write a few short stories in the past, but it was harder than I thought, so none made it to publication or submission anywhere.

What about you? Is writing short stories easy or hard?

Yes, I write short stories. Sometimes it is hard, sometimes words just... come to me. I enter writing contests a lot and I hope sometime I'll get one published.

Good for you! I've never submited anything myself--never considered I had a chance. Plus, in the editing process something happens, and I end up throwing everythng away. (I guess it's that horrible self critic).

I have written a short fictional story, but never had it published.

Here's the synopsis (storyline) for a short story I wrote in 2008. The story is called 'Pangaea Welcomes You.'

"Gwendolyn, her brother, Xian, sister, Janna, & their Grandmother, live a hard life in a tiny village in Africa. Then, one day, strangers calling themselves 'All-Earth Ambassadors' arrive in the village. They explain that they are from a newly-discovered country called Pangaea & have come to offer the villagers new homes & new lives. The villagers accept the offer & are taken on a wonderful adventure as they experience life in a way that they have never seen it before."
