How to write a short story? END
And here's the main thing, then re-read everything, edit it and leave the story short as the dough. For 1-2 months. then come back (if at this moment you will remember something about the novel, then try reading it from scratch. You will not like it much and delete it. But the novel will be more interesting and lively, will sparkle with new colors!
The idea is over, but in practice, you need to look!
Do not forget that in the short story the most important thing is how the characters communicate with each other! Therefore, "live dialogues" are needed!
But I have a tense relationship with them!
Dara said, "Well, that's all, nothing happens with this dialogue!"
The reader said, "phew, I don't want to read all the time that Dara said something."
Dara "Damn well, and how then to build a dialogue!"
Reader. "Learn the material part "that is, study other novels, see how the dialogue is built there!"
"Dialogue ... each author has his own way," thought the gift.
The reader "needs action to happen!"
Dara: "What the hell are you talking about!"
Reader: "This is not garbage! This is the basics of writing!"
Dara: "Well, you give bro! How can I write dialogue? Put a dash, a colon, write a tale, that, or just put my name Dara?"
Reader: "Look in yourself, look in a circle, and you will understand how to write"!
Dara: "Well, you and an eccentric! I don't understand how to write a damn ?!"
Reader: "Well, I also don't understand this well, but I don't like how your dialogues are composed, and your English is not so good!"
Dara: "Can I bite your nose off?"
Reader: "This is not civilized! No! I am against"!
Dara: "It's a pity, it's a pity! Well, I still do not understand how to write dialogs!"
And yes, this author's voice-over says, don't write big sentences! Share them! Do not get involved in the dialogue. It should not be big!
Do not forget about the choice, you should always have a choice !!! Darn! Sometimes it's better not to choose anything at all! The Chinese are right in their war strategy! But you need a choice ... you'll go straight, you'll get sides, you'll go to the left, they will deceive you and you won't give anything as always! And if you go to the right, you will have to tell the truth as it is to the big boss that he is fundamentally wrong. And he draws and blacklist and includes and takes a vow of begging, and also assigns a surveillance service.
So the Chinese method is better, do not go anywhere at all. This is also a kind of choice. As the Americans say, this is your choice and you are not the victim of your choice! (the latter they say later when the choice is made).
Reader: The author was a bad joke?
Author: and I can exclude you from the text block!
Reader: I was mistaken, you are such a fine fellow author, you are right, write what you want. But don't rule me out!
And yes, you must remember that there are many short stories, there are visual ones, there is the web, there are easy novels, and there are still classic novels.
Everywhere its subtleties, everywhere its dimensions, its rules, and exceptions to them.
Well, so far somehow!
But the question with the Jiang Magic Coin remains, for now, to finish and rewrite in the new version? or continue?
As with the text form or text block itself, with writing dialogs, how to write dialogue is more or less clear, but how it should look in the text is still a mystery ????? !!!!
