A collection of one-page short stories.

One short story will be written every week and will fit a page (1500 words or less). Each short story will try to explore different worlds/themes. Some may be in the same world or not.

This is mainly for me to practice writing.

Below is the notes/things I will try to follow:

Act #1: The Setup
Hook:
External Conflict = Plot
Internal Conflict = Why we care about the Plot
What does your protagonist want? What is stopping them from going after it? What are their misconceptions?
Make your protagonist like-able in some ways

Act #2: The Confrontation
Build-Up:
What internal conflict is going to arise from your protagonist in the wake of the inciting external incident?
External Conflict:
Character Vs. Character
Character Vs. Nature
Character Vs. Supernatural
Character Vs. Technology
Character Vs. Society
Internal Conflict:
Character Vs. Self

Plan:
Your protagonist must actively try to achieve what they want, how will they achieve it? What is their plan?

Victory?:
What makes the protagonist think they are close to finishing their goal?

Disaster:
How does the protagonist greet their biggest fear?

Act #3: The Resolution
Victory?:
How does the protagonist win or lose?

6 Questions a Story Must Answer:
1. Who is it about?
2. What did they want?
3. Why can't they get it?
4. What did they do about it?
5. Why doesn't that work?
6. How does it end?
