Do you want to write but don't know where to start?Geoff Hoff presents a no-frills system to go from no idea to completed short story in six easy steps;*The Idea*Beginning, Middle and End*Setting*Character*The First Draft*Conclusions and ResponsesThe author uses three short stories as reference points for the lessons that he teaches in this ebook. These stories can be downloaded from the author's site and reviewed before reading this book.This short ebook provides a wealth of information in a very concise and well-organized manner. I read the book in about an hour and truly enjoyed it. The author includes "free tips", exercises, lesson summaries and assignments. The book is very interactive and it seemed like Mr. Hoff was looking over my shoulder as I was jotting down some notes that might be my inspiration for a future short story.When I was working as an elementary school librarian, I attended several creative writing workshops that were designed to help teachers instruct students in writing skills. I felt like some of these courses made writing much more difficult than it really is."You Can Write A Short Story!" is an excellent resource for beginning writers, teachers and students of all ages. If you complete each assignment in this ebook, I promise you will have a completed short story to share with your friends or even publish on Amazon! Highly recommended for all ages.
