Ive been surfing various websites looking for tips and suggestions on short story writing. Theres quite a few useful points that are different to the more classical models I've already looked at.
This week I looked into different story models, to see if my story conforms to conventional narrative structure and ideas. I used a website which lists 9 points to writing a good short story. I found that my story conformed to most of these points, but didnt apply to others. I try hard not to conform to things in the realm of art, so its no surprise my natural tendencies lead me to differ from professional opinion on the subject. For instance, when dealing with short stories, I seem to have a morbid fear of the happy ending.
my story does contain some classic story structuring and techniques, it defies a lot of the convention on the subject, mostly due to the constraints of the short story medium, coupled with my obsession for tragic endings.
